Twilight 1900

"Twilight" is a landscape painting by Isaac Levitan created in 1900, shortly before his death. The painting depicts a simple rural scene in a muted palette, with a small wooden house, a tall tree, haystacks, and a fence against a cloudy sky. The thin crescent moon adds a sense of tranquility and mystery to the scene, reflecting the artist's fascination with the subtle beauty of nature, a recurring theme in his works. This oil on canvas, now housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia, showcases Levitan's masterful use of light and shadow to create a haunting and evocative atmosphere.
