Kaunas. Cathedral. 1931

"Kaunas. Cathedral." is a watercolor painting by the prominent Russian artist Mstislav Dobuzhinsky, created in 1931. It depicts a view of a cathedral in Kaunas, Lithuania, as seen from a garden. The red brick walls of the cathedral dominate the composition, while the pale blue sky and a fence in the foreground create a sense of depth. The painting captures the somber atmosphere of the city and showcases Dobuzhinsky's distinctive style, blending elements of realism with expressionism. This work, along with other cityscapes by Dobuzhinsky, highlights his mastery of watercolor and his ability to convey a mood and atmosphere with subtle brushstrokes.
