Forest landscape

Forest landscape, a painting by Ivan Shishkin (1900-2000), from the Narva Museum's art collection. The artwork measures 0.41 meters in width and 0.55 meters in height.

The painting depicts a sun-dappled forest scene. Tall, slender pine trees dominate the composition, their trunks rising from a carpet of lush green moss and low-lying vegetation. A small stream or creek meanders through the forest floor, its path marked by brown earth and scattered rocks. The light suggests it is daytime, with sunlight filtering through the trees, creating dappled shadows on the ground. The overall color palette is predominantly greens and browns, with touches of lighter greens and yellows in the sunlit areas. The style is realistic, capturing the details of the forest environment with a focus on light and shadow.
