Lake Como 1894

Isaac Levitan’s 1894 painting, “Lake Como,” showcases the artist's signature style of capturing the beauty of nature. The artwork depicts a serene scene of Lake Como in Italy with a cluster of buildings on the left, while the water stretches out towards the distant mountains. The muted palette of blues, greens, and yellows evokes a sense of tranquility and the calming effects of nature. The loose brushstrokes and visible marks of the artist's hand add a sense of intimacy and immediacy to the scene, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
