The artwork, titled “Evening at Volga,” was created by Isaac Levitan in 1888 in the Russian Federation. This oil painting on canvas belongs to the Realism art movement and falls under the landscape genre. It measures 50 by 81 centimeters and is currently housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.
In “Evening at Volga,” the scene depicts a serene evening along the Volga River. Soft hues of blues and greens dominate the composition, capturing the tranquil essence of dusk settling over the expansive waterway. The river gently reflects the fading light of the sky, with a distant horizon softened by a misty atmosphere. Dark silhouettes of rowboats lined along the shore add depth and a sense of quiet contemplation to the scene. The artwork conveys a profound sense of peace and reflects Levitan’s masterful ability to portray nature’s tranquility and vastness.
