Springtime. The Last Snow. 1895

"Springtime. The Last Snow" is a landscape painting by renowned Russian artist Isaac Levitan, created in 1895. The painting captures the fleeting moment of transition from winter to spring, depicting a winding river snaking through a forest floor still partially covered in snow. The contrasting colors of the white snow, the vibrant blue-green water, and the russet brown of the earth convey the sense of change and renewal that characterize the season. Levitan's mastery of light and shadow further enhances the painting's evocative mood, highlighting the beauty of nature's subtle transformation.
