In the Country 1910

Konstantin Gorbatov's "In the Country," painted in 1910, depicts a serene landscape of a birch forest. The artist captures the delicate beauty of these trees with their distinctive white bark and slender trunks, standing tall against a backdrop of blue sky. The long shadows cast by the trees across the grassy ground suggest a peaceful afternoon in the countryside. Gorbatov's painting embodies the style of Russian Impressionism, a movement that emerged at the end of the 19th century and emphasized the capturing of light and atmosphere in nature.
