The artwork, titled “Landscape with kurgan stelae,” was created by the artist Taras Shevchenko in 1845. This piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and falls under the genre of landscape painting.
The artwork depicts a serene natural scene, characterized by a vast expanse of land with gently undulating hills and a river or lake flowing through it. In the foreground, there are two kurgan stelae, ancient stone statues, situated prominently amidst the natural landscape. The composition is rendered with a delicate touch, capturing the tranquility and timelessness of the setting. Trees and sparse vegetation dot the landscape, contributing to the overall sense of calm and harmony in the scene. The artist’s skillful use of light and shading adds depth and dimension to the drawing, further enhancing its visual appeal.
