The artwork titled “Golden Autumn” was created by Isaac Levitan in 1896 in the Russian Federation. This oil on paper painting, which represents the Realism art movement, measures 52 x 84.6 cm. Classified within the landscape genre, the artwork is currently housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.
The artwork depicts a serene autumnal landscape. On the left, a cluster of tall, golden-leaved trees, likely birches, stands prominently, their white trunks contrasting against the vibrant foliage. A meandering path gently winds through the grassy terrain, guiding the viewer’s eye towards the right, where a calm body of water stretches into the horizon. The water’s deep blue color adds a cool and tranquil element to the otherwise warm and earthy autumnal palette. In the distance, the line of trees and faintly visible structures add depth and a sense of continuity to the scene. This painting encapsulates the essence of a Russian autumn, with its vivid colors and peaceful ambiance, skillfully capturing the beauty and transience of nature.
