This small, yet monumental work demonstrates Arkhip Kuindzhi’s sense of dimension and love of the changing tones of nature. The study contains equal doses of Impressionism and Art Nouveau. The natural forms of the landscape evoke a sense of the hidden energy of life. Kuindzhi’s original quests in painting were an important influence on the general development of Impressionist tendencies in Russian art in the late nineteenth century.
