Leningrad. Neva. 1931

"Leningrad. Neva." (1931) by Pyotr Konchalovsky is a watercolor depicting a cityscape of Leningrad (St. Petersburg) with a focus on the Neva River. The artist captures a hazy, atmospheric day with subtle washes of color and a focus on the architecture of the city, particularly the iconic dome of the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood. The bridge in the foreground adds a sense of depth and perspective, with the river stretching out towards the viewer. This work showcases Konchalovsky's style, where he utilized vibrant colors and loose brushstrokes to create expressive scenes of urban life.
