Early Spring 1870

Konstantin Korovin’s “Early Spring” (1870) depicts a rustic, log cabin nestled within a verdant landscape. The soft, pastel hues and loose brushstrokes create a sense of tranquility, capturing the gentle arrival of spring. In the foreground, a meandering path leads the viewer’s eye towards the charming cottage. The sky, painted with delicate shades of blue and pink, suggests a new beginning, while the scattered birds add a touch of movement to the scene. This enchanting portrayal of a rural setting embodies the beauty of nature in its awakening, highlighting Korovin’s mastery of Impressionist techniques.
