“Wind Fallen Trees” is an artwork by Ivan Shishkin, created in the year 1890. This piece belongs to the Realism art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study. The artwork depicts a detailed and realistic representation of fallen trees, presumably due to strong wind.
The artwork showcases Shishkin’s meticulous attention to detail and his masterful use of shading to create depth and texture. The foreground features several uprooted and broken trees, their branches intertwining and creating a chaotic yet harmonious composition. The background subtly captures the remnants of a forest, partially obscured but hinting at the force of nature that led to this scene. The use of pencil or charcoal enhances the raw and unpolished quality of the work, emphasizing the ruggedness of the natural elements depicted.
