Isaac Levitan’s artwork, created in 1898, is entitled “Twilight. A castle.” This piece, crafted with oil on canvas, belongs to the Realism art movement and falls within the landscape genre. The dimensions of the artwork are 61 by 76 cm, and it is presently housed in the Lviv National Art Gallery in Lviv, Ukraine.
The artwork portrays a somber and mysterious scene of a castle at twilight. The sky is painted with varying shades of deep blues and greens, evoking an atmospheric and almost haunting feeling. The castle stands prominently in the center, its dark silhouette contrasting starkly against the subtle illumination of the dusk sky. The surrounding environment is shrouded in darkness, with a faint crescent moon visible in the upper left corner, adding to the enigmatic aura. The painting exemplifies Levitan’s mastery in creating mood through his use of light and color, reflecting the characteristic precision and emotional depth of Realism.
