End of the century – 31 December 1899, landscape with a coffin 1899

"End of the century – 31 December 1899, landscape with a coffin" is an 1899 painting by Jacek Malczewski. The painting features a rural landscape with a small, thatched-roof house. A woman stands in front of the house in a long, red dress. Behind her, a man can be seen sitting on a stool. In the background, a fence and a field of crops stand in front of a large tree with yellowing leaves. This work is a testament to Malczewski's fascination with symbolism and the power of the natural world. The scene evokes a sense of melancholy and introspection, suggesting a symbolic end to the 19th century and the dawn of a new era. The painting's loose brushstrokes and impressionistic style further add to its evocative nature.
