The artwork, titled “Autumn Landscape with Hunter,” was created by Isaac Levitan in the year 1880 in the Russian Federation. This oil-on-canvas painting belongs to the Realism art movement and depicts a landscape, specifically capturing the essence of autumn.
In the artwork, a lone hunter is seen traversing a narrow, leaf-laden path flanked by sparsely-leaved trees that mark the onset of autumn. The distant sky is overcast with a light, muted gray, adding a sense of calm and tranquility to the scene. The ground is strewn with dead leaves, punctuated occasionally by patches of green grass, signifying the changing seasons. The hunter, dressed in dark attire, is accompanied by a dog, their presence adding a narrative element to the serene and picturesque landscape. This painting exemplifies Levitan’s ability to evoke emotion through natural scenery, embodying the detailed and objective characteristics of Realism.
