Winter 1919

"Winter" (1919) by Konstantin Gorbatov depicts a serene Russian village blanketed in snow. The composition features a cluster of houses and a church in the background, framed by bare trees and a frozen pond in the foreground. The artist utilizes a vibrant palette, with the snow rendered in cool blues and the houses painted in warm reds and yellows, creating a striking contrast. This painting is a hallmark of Gorbatov's signature style, characterized by detailed realism and a captivating representation of the Russian countryside.
