About Patio

The artwork titled “Patio,” created by Ivan Shishkin in 1878, is a distinguished example of the Realism art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.

The artwork presents a detailed and realistic depiction of a rustic patio scene. Crafted with meticulous attention to architectural details, the sketch features the wooden framework and rough textures of the structures with a refined precision. The composition highlights the interplay of natural light filtering through the gaps in the roofing, illuminating the steps and pathways leading into the inner courtyard. Each element, from the beams to the wooden planks and ladders, is rendered with a focus on texture and form, exemplifying Shishkin’s mastery in capturing everyday scenes with a profound sense of realism. The use of shading and line work adds depth and dimension, creating an immersive and authentic representation of a humble patio.
