Golden Autumn 1895

"Golden Autumn," painted in 1895 by Isaac Levitan, is a stunning example of Russian landscape painting. The artwork depicts a tranquil autumnal scene featuring a winding river, a field of golden grass, and trees adorned with vibrant foliage. The gentle brushstrokes and muted color palette create a sense of serenity and melancholy, evoking the bittersweet beauty of the changing seasons. Levitan's mastery of light and atmosphere is evident in the way he captures the subtle interplay of sunlight and shadow, bringing the scene to life. This work is considered a masterpiece of Russian Impressionism and is currently housed at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
