I'm a huge fan of Waoming Zhu although I don't get this particular effect from viewing his works. He definitely plays a lot with a golden hour / early morning kind of light as in the painting in OP.

I too believe it's something from my childhood that comes up. Maybe it's because I've always been fascinated with the interplay of light and shadow and taken mental notes on it and that this particular type of 50/50 sun/shade situation reminds me of that. I get the same feeling from some of Tadahiro Uesugi's works (pic related) and there is definitely a common thread there.

this one i really like, arnold böcklin

I love all of these but desu any generic picture of a forest scene would be easy to relate to. It would be more impressive if it were a more specific painting of an event or a detailed street or something

ah, k. thought it was more about the lighting, sort of better than camera more real vision

OP here. That's not true. I've seen thousands of landscape paintings and only a handful bring me this effect despite many of them being very realistic and familiar. It's more specific than just easy to relate to. It's probably highly subjective aswell what triggers you.

Definitely something to that. Paintings with simplified shapes and color masses gives the mind space to fill in the missing information where as photos are more literal and give you everything on a plate.

Not that often when I look at paintings, but I call them glimpses, when I almost recall a past life or something and I get this intense sadness/fondness from the faintest hint of an obscure memory, triggered mostly by music but also scenery, clouds especially etc.. Had to post, it seems like something similar to what you're getting.
