The artwork titled “Odessa. Port,” created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1898, belongs to the Impressionism art movement. Measuring 65 x 45 cm, this marina genre painting is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.
The artwork depicts a serene and atmospheric scene of a port in Odessa. Prominent ships with tall masts are anchored along the pier, casting delicate reflections upon the rippling waters below. The composition is bathed in muted tones, characteristic of the Impressionist style, capturing the tranquil essence of the harbor. The sky, rendered in soft, hazy hues, contributes to the overall calm and subdued ambiance. The use of light and shadow skillfully emphasizes the texture of the wooden docks and the hulls of the ships, immersing the viewer in the quiet stillness of the portside setting.
