Description of Konstantin Korovin’s painting Spring
Konstantin Korovin is a Russian artist who is considered one of the fathers of Impressionism in Russia. He, like Nesterov and Levitan, created vivid, colorful landscapes that easily rivaled mundane everyday scenes and somber portraits. His work is still considered a masterpiece. After all, it is not for nothing that at the Painting School he was Savrasov’s favorite.
His work was always a reminder that the dark streak will end one day. And it’s not just in the perfect selection of colors and shadows, but in the energy of the landscape itself. The painting Spring, painted in 1917, was no exception.
The concept of Impressionism first appeared in France in the late 19th century. It was the French technique, but using the Russian manner, that Korovin wanted to use in his paintings. Only he managed to combine perfectly modernity and tranquility of nature, heat and cold, harmony and riot of emotions. He does not just paint, but narrates, tells a story, as can be seen in the picture. In addition to the birch grove, it depicts people sitting at the table and their home. According to the artist, without these images the landscape would be incomplete, empty, devoid of any meaning.
In the picture "Spring" there are no clear lines or sharp transitions. Thus the artist wanted to convey the invisible and colorless magic of nature, the rebirth of all life after winter hibernation. The colors of objects, as well as their saturation, fully consistent with the emotional tone of the author.
Konstantin Korovin painted only from nature, in the open air. Hence the purity of color and sharpness of understanding of ordinary life, which are deprived of the museum exhibits, painted without soul.
Springtime" is not Korovin’s first work in the Impressionist genre. Prior to that, in 1883, Korovin painted Portrait of a Chorus Girl, which was his first work in this style. It is also considered to be the first worthy work in Russian impressionism.

Perhaps it’s a painting of a picnic table with a white tablecloth on it in the middle of a wooded area with trees and a house in the background.
