A road 1881

"A Road" is a landscape painting by Volodymyr Orlovsky, a Ukrainian artist known for his depictions of his native land. Completed in 1881, this oil painting captures a winding dirt road leading through lush green fields and into a forest. The composition emphasizes the natural beauty of the landscape, using realistic brushstrokes to render the vibrant colors of the grass, the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, and the rolling hills in the distance. The painting exemplifies Orlovsky's mastery of plein air painting, conveying the atmosphere of a tranquil, sun-drenched day in the countryside.
