The artwork titled “Marsh at Evening,” created by Isaac Levitan in 1882 within the Russian Federation, is a landscape painting rendered in oil on canvas, measuring 137.5 by 71.5 centimeters. Exemplifying the Realism art movement, this piece captures the serene yet somber atmosphere of a marshland during the evening.
In the artwork, a wide expanse of marshland is depicted under a vast sky, transitioning through hues of blue, yellow, and pink as the sun sets. The terrain is interspersed with patches of water that reflect the dwindling light, enhancing the tranquil ambiance. Wispy clouds stretch across the sky, adding depth and perspective to the scene. Sparse vegetation and earthy tones dominate the foreground, while the horizon is adorned with a subtle silhouette of distant landforms, providing a sense of scale and vastness. The meticulous attention to natural details and the delicate play of light emphasize the contemplative mood of the evening’s close.
