Corner of a Museum 1916

Konstantin Gorbatov's "Corner of a Museum" (1916) is a realist painting that captures the interior of a museum room with a large window overlooking a snow-covered cityscape. The scene is filled with classical sculptures, furniture, and framed artwork, showcasing the richness and history of the museum's collection. The composition is balanced, with the window serving as a focal point, framing the bustling city outside and inviting the viewer to imagine the stories behind the objects within the room.
