Murmansk coast 1894

"Murmansk Coast" is an 1894 painting by Russian artist Konstantin Korovin, currently housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. The work, painted in a style reminiscent of Impressionism, captures a peaceful, almost melancholic scene. The composition focuses on the interplay of light and shadow, the soft, muted tones of the sandy beach contrasted with the dark, looming silhouette of the hillside and the inky black of the water. The lone figure, walking along the shore, adds a sense of solitude to the scene, further enhancing its contemplative mood.
