The artwork, titled “Winter,” was created by Ivan Bilibin in 1917 and belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. It is categorized under the genre of landscape art.
The artwork depicts a serene winter scene within a forest. Snow blankets the ground, creating a sense of quiet stillness. Tall trees, some adorned with patches of snow, dominate the composition, their dark trunks providing a stark contrast against the lighter snow and sky. The soft, muted colors and delicate brushwork evoke a peaceful, almost magical atmosphere characteristic of winter’s tranquility. The artist’s attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow effectively capture the essence of a winter landscape, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the quiet beauty of the natural world.
