Landscape with Storm Clouds

The skilfully captured and harmonious sight of a turbulent sky as if before a storm, painted from nature in the Plos or Tver province, is distinguished by its nuanced and fluid expression. These were places where Levitan, absorbed in the life and the spirit of nature, painted forests, the vast expanses of Volga riversides, and the banks of streams. A small landscape with a simple theme, perhaps one of the 300 sketches he left after his death, reveals a special mood of philosophical contemplation.
