The artwork, titled “Landscape. Distant View,” was created circa 1885 by the renowned Russian artist Isaac Levitan. It belongs to the Realism art movement and falls within the genre of cloudscape. This masterpiece is held in a private collection and exemplifies Levitan’s exquisite ability to capture the serene beauty of the natural world.
In the artwork, the viewer is presented with an expansive sky covering a vast landscape. Dominated by soft hues of greens and blues, the scene exudes a tranquil atmosphere. The clouds, painted with delicate brush strokes, appear to be gently drifting, adding a sense of movement and dynamism to the otherwise calm environment. The land below is a mix of subtle colors, showcasing patches of vegetation and distant water bodies, all rendered with fine detail, characteristic of Levitan’s realist approach. The horizon line is nearly indistinguishable, symbolizing the infinite and the seamless blend between the sky and the earth.
