The last rays of the sun 1899

"The last rays of the sun" (1899), by Russian painter Isaac Levitan, depicts a tranquil countryside scene at dusk. The painting, now housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, features a winding path leading towards a cluster of wooden houses. The warm, golden hues of the setting sun bathe the scene in a soft, ethereal light, creating a sense of peace and serenity. Levitan's mastery of capturing the mood and atmosphere of nature is evident in this poignant portrayal of rural life in the waning light of day.
