In Autumn 1890

"In Autumn" (1890) by Polish artist Jacek Malczewski depicts a solitary figure lying face down in a field of golden hay. The figure, seemingly lost in contemplation, is partially shrouded in a blue coat, suggesting an atmosphere of melancholy and introspection. The landscape, with its muted colors and subtle brushstrokes, evokes a sense of quiet solitude and the transition from summer to fall. Malczewski's work is often associated with Symbolism, a late 19th-century art movement that emphasized the symbolic and evocative nature of art.
