“Go to the Autumn” is a landscape artwork created by Ivan Shishkin in 1880. It belongs to the Realism art movement and magnificently captures the serene beauty of an autumn scene.
The artwork depicts a lush forest setting transitioning into the autumn season. Dominated by towering trees, the scene displays a spectrum of green foliage intermingled with hints of yellow and orange, indicating the gradual change in seasons. The forest appears dense and textured, with an undergrowth rich in various shades of green and brown. A tranquil water body occupies the foreground, reflecting the dense vegetation above. Shishkin’s meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow render the forest scene lifelike, embodying the essence of Realism. The elements of the forest are depicted with precision, evoking the calm and serene atmosphere typical of a woodland setting in autumn.
