The artwork entitled “The Amazon River, Iquitos, Peru” was created by Ivan Albright in 1971, aligning with the Impressionism art movement. Classified under the marina genre, this piece captures the essence of the renowned Amazon River.
The artwork primarily features a vast expanse of the Amazon River, rendered in a somewhat muted and earthy color palette. The river dominates the composition, depicted with soft, diffused brushstrokes that reflect Albright’s impressionistic technique. The distant riverbank can be discerned on the horizon, providing a subtle yet distinct demarcation between the expansive waters and the sky. The atmosphere conveys a serene ambiance, with a hint of haze or mist adding to the dreamlike quality of the scene. Small patches of greenery punctuate the distant shore, and careful observation reveals the presence of boats, almost blending with the tranquil waters, suggesting human activity and interaction with this magnificent landscape.
