“Moonlit night at park,” created by Isaac Levitan in 1885 in the Russian Federation, is an ink and paper artwork associated with the Realism art movement. This piece falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork presents a night scene in a park, where the interplay of moonlight and shadow creates a serene and contemplative atmosphere. Tall trees dominate the foreground, their branches intricately woven together, casting dark silhouettes against the lighter sky. The moonlight filters through the foliage, illuminating the path below with a gentle glow. In the background, distant figures can be seen, adding a sense of depth and human presence to the tranquil landscape. The meticulous details and thoughtful use of shading reflect the artist’s mastery in capturing the subtle nuances of a moonlit night, characteristic of Levitan’s commitment to Realism.
