The artwork titled “Wooded riverbank. Twilight.” was painted by Isaac Levitan in 1892. This piece, which belongs to the Realism art movement, is executed in oil on canvas and measures 129.5 x 176 cm. It is a landscape genre painting housed in the Tver Regional Art Gallery in Tver, Russia.
In this serene depiction, the artist captures a tranquil riverbank enveloped by the approaching twilight. The scene portrays a river meandering through a lush, dense forest, with tall trees casting elongated shadows as the light fades. The steep embankment, with its earthy tones, contrasts with the dark woods, and the calm river reflects the muted colors of the twilight sky. The fallen trees and stumps in the foreground add a sense of natural progression and untouched wilderness. The painting evokes a sense of calm and timelessness, highlighting Levitan’s masterful use of light and shadow to depict the tranquil beauty of the Russian landscape.
