The artwork, titled “Autumn Landscape. Village,” is an exquisite oil painting on cardboard by Isaac Levitan, a prominent figure in the Realism movement. Measuring 11 by 20 centimeters, this landscape piece is expertly crafted to capture the serene ambiance of a village in the autumn season. It is currently housed in the Kalmyk State Art Gallery in Elista, Russia.
In the artwork, Levitan employs a masterful use of color and brushstrokes to depict a tranquil rural scene. The composition features a grassy foreground transitioning into a gradient of autumnal hues, representing fields, hills, and trees that radiate the essence of fall. In the midst of this vibrant natural setting, a quaint village is subtly nestled, its rooftops emerging amidst lush greenery. The balanced palette, characterized by green, yellow, brown, and blue tones, harmonizes to evoke the peaceful and contemplative atmosphere for which Levitan is renowned.
