Volga. A Calm Day 1895

"Volga. A Calm Day" (1895) by Isaac Levitan is a landscape painting depicting a tranquil scene on the Volga River. The painting captures the serene beauty of the river, with its calm waters reflecting the soft light of the sky. In the foreground, two ships are anchored near the shore, their presence adding a sense of scale and human activity to the otherwise serene scene. The lush green foliage on the riverbank adds a touch of color to the composition, while the muted tones of the sky and water create a sense of tranquility. Levitan, a prominent Russian painter known for his landscapes, captures the essence of the Russian countryside in this beautiful painting.
