“Moonlit Landscape” by Isaac Levitan is an evocative oil painting on canvas, created circa 1895 in the Russian Federation. This work, measuring 29 x 39.5 cm, exemplifies the Realism art movement and is categorized under the landscape genre. Currently housed at the Art Culture of Russian North Museum in Arkhangelsk, Russia, the artwork displays a scene infused with the serene mystique of a moonlit night.
The artwork portrays a tranquil nocturnal landscape bathed in the soft, diffused light of the moon. Dominated by rich, dark shades of blue and green, the composition features a field extending into the distance, where dense clusters of trees form a shadowy boundary against a starlit sky. The moonlight casts a subdued glow, accentuating the shapes of the foliage and the gentle undulations of the terrain. The overall atmosphere conveyed by Levitan’s skillful brushwork is one of calm stillness, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the peaceful solitude of the natural world.
