“Sunny Day. A Village” is a landscape artwork by Isaac Levitan created in 1898 using oil on paper. This piece, which belongs to the Realism movement, is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.
The artwork depicts a serene village scene subtly illuminated by sunlight. On the left side, a series of rustic wooden houses are aligned, their structures casting gentle shadows onto the verdant ground. On the right, a few trees dot the landscape, their leaves rendered in soft greens and yellows, blending harmoniously with the sunlit grass. Together, the elements of the artwork evoke a sense of quiet, pastoral beauty and tranquility. The brushwork is loose and expressive, capturing the natural light and the calm atmosphere of a typical sunny day in a village.
