Oak 1880

"Oak" is an 1880 oil painting by Russian artist Isaac Levitan, known for his landscapes. The painting, now in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, portrays a solitary oak tree in a lush forest, bathed in the warm light of a summer day. The oak, with its thick trunk and spreading branches, stands as a symbol of strength and longevity, while the surrounding greenery evokes a sense of tranquility and peace. Levitan's precise detail and masterful use of light and shadow create a captivating and realistic depiction of the forest environment.
