The artwork “Sunny Day,” created by Isaac Levitan in 1898 in the Russian Federation, belongs to the Realism art movement and depicts a landscape genre.
The artwork presents a serene and idyllic scene featuring a wooden fence enclosing a yard, with tall birch trees casting dappled shadows on the grassy ground. The sunlight filters through the lush green canopy, creating a mosaic of light and shadow on the earth below. In the mid-ground, a small structure with a red-tiled roof peeks from behind the trees, lending a quaint and homely charm to the landscape. The composition’s delicate brushwork and naturalistic colors evoke a warm and tranquil atmosphere, emblematic of Levitan’s mastery in capturing the essence of serene rural life.
