45000 zł

Description:

An atmospheric landscape with a romantic aura, showing a vast mountain valley with a winding river, sheep grazing in the meadows, and rural buildings at the foot of monumental rock massifs. The composition is based on the classic, panoramic layout, characteristic of 19th-century landscape painting. In the left part of the painting, on a winding path, the artist placed a small figure of a woman carrying a basket on her head – a motif typical of idyllic shots, introducing an element of everyday life and emphasizing the scale of the surrounding nature. In the background, a solitary tower or small defensive structure is visible on a hill, introducing a historicizing accent.

The work is distinguished by its soft modeling of light, a subtle color palette based on greens, browns, and blues, and attention to detail in the vegetation. Subsequent planes are constructed with a sense of space and aerial perspective, giving the composition depth and a romantic mood of contemplation of nature. The way of shaping the landscape, the harmonious construction, the lyricism of the representation and the provenance (USA) allow us to associate the painting with the circle of Robert Scott Duncanson - a leading representative of the 19th-century American landscape painting, associated with the Hudson River School and the tradition of Romantic Luminism.
