The artwork titled “At the Lake. Fishermen,” created by Isaac Levitan circa 1898 in the Russian Federation, belongs to the Impressionism art movement and falls within the genre of genre painting.
The artwork depicts a tranquil scene at a lake, featuring two fishermen in a small wooden boat amidst calm, shimmering waters. Bathed in soft, natural light, the scene is marked by delicate brushstrokes characteristic of Impressionism, capturing the transient effects of light and color. The fishermen, one in a red garment and the other in blue, are absorbed in their task, lending the piece a sense of quietude and contemplation. The serene lake reflects the sky’s pastel hues and the distant greenery, including buildings at the water’s edge, creating a harmonious composition that resonates with the beauty of everyday life.
