Landscape with a River

Landscape with a River is a 1900 painting by László Mednyánszky. It is in the collection of the Slovak National Gallery. The painting measures 0.462 meters wide by 0.377 meters high.

The artwork depicts a tranquil landscape dominated by a pale, almost washed-out sky. The sky fills most of the canvas, suggesting a calm, possibly overcast day. Along the bottom of the painting, a river or lake is visible, rendered in muted blues and grays. The far bank of the water features a line of low-lying trees and shrubs, painted in muted browns and yellows, suggesting autumnal foliage. The foreground shows a sandy or gravelly bank, with hints of brushstrokes suggesting texture and possibly some sparse vegetation. The overall palette is subdued and muted, with a predominance of pale pinks, beige, and browns. The style is impressionistic, with loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the atmosphere and light rather than precise detail.
