The artwork, titled “Boulevard in the Evening,” was created by Isaac Levitan in 1883 in Moscow, Russian Federation. This piece, rendered in oil on canvas, is a remarkable example of the Realism art movement and falls within the landscape genre. Currently, it is housed in the National Gallery of Armenia in Yerevan, Armenia.
“Boulevard in the Evening” depicts a serene, snow-covered boulevard enveloped in the quietude of twilight. The dark, bare trees arch over the boulevard, their branches silhouetted against the dusky sky. The distant glow of lamps and windows provides a soft illumination, casting gentle reflections on the snow beneath. The stark contrast between the dark trees and the subtle light accents captures the calm and stillness of a winter evening, evoking a sense of solitude and peacefulness. In this tranquil scene, a few shadowy figures are seen walking along the path, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the vast, quiet landscape. The mastery in Levitan’s brushwork and his delicate use of light and shadow contribute to the overall atmospheric depth and realism of the artwork.
