“Melikhovo at spring,” a landscape artwork by Isaac Levitan, exemplifies the Realism art movement. Rendered in ink, this piece measures 10.4 by 15.7 centimeters and is housed in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Russia.
The artwork depicts a serene rural scene in spring, characterized by leafless trees standing tall against a muted sky, reflective of early spring before the full bloom. The ground is imbued with green hues indicating new growth. The use of ink adds a delicate and detailed quality to the landscape, capturing the understated beauty of the countryside. The application of lines and shading brings depth to the scene, while the overall composition conveys a tranquil and contemplative atmosphere.
