The artwork entitled “Corner of overgrown garden. Goutweed-grass” was created by Ivan Shishkin in 1884. It is a landscape painting belonging to the Realism art movement.
The artwork depicts a verdant, overgrown garden corner, illustrating Shishkin’s characteristic attention to detail and natural beauty. The scene is filled with tall, leafy plants and clusters of goutweed, bathed in sunlight that filters through the foliage. In the background, there is a weathered wooden fence, partially obscured by the lush greenery. The careful rendering of the flora captures the raw, unmanicured charm of nature, demonstrating the artist’s skill in portraying the organic intricacies of the landscape. The composition, with its interplay of light and shadow, evokes a serene yet vibrant atmosphere.
