Z brzegów Wilejki 1900

"Z brzegów Wilejki" (From the Banks of the Vileika River) was painted in 1900 by Ferdynand Ruszczyc, a prominent Polish artist known for his landscapes. The painting depicts a dramatic scene of a rushing river, likely the Vileika River, with a wooden bridge and snow-covered banks. Ruszczyc's use of dark and light contrasts, particularly the deep shadows of the river and the snowy banks, creates a sense of depth and drama, characteristic of his style. The work is a testament to the power of nature and its captivating beauty.
