Harbor in Norway 1894

Konstantin Korovin's "Harbor in Norway" (1894) is a captivating plein air painting that captures the essence of a Norwegian harbor. The composition, dominated by a tranquil expanse of water, showcases a picturesque harbor town with a single sailboat taking center stage. The artist's signature use of vibrant colors, particularly in the sky and water, conveys a sense of light and movement, while the brushstrokes add a sense of spontaneity and immediacy. This piece, now housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, exemplifies Korovin's mastery of Impressionism, showcasing his keen observation of nature and his ability to translate it into a captivating artwork.
