Description of Alexei Savrasov’s painting "Evening".
Incredible in its beauty and technique of execution, a painting, by the great artist Savrasov, entitled "Evening". The painting is done in oil on canvas and strikes the viewer’s eye with its poetic execution and transmission of the energetic mood of the painting.
The artist chooses the perfect moment to paint the sunset, as you can observe, nature and all life around is already preparing for sleep, while the sky is shimmering with magnificent, almost all the colors of the rainbow colors. The canvas is conventionally divided into three parts, the lower one being completely given over to dark brown and dark green tones, which perfectly show the soil and grass.
You can also see a kind of trail that goes deep into the canvas. As for the middle, the painting, only the tops of the trees slightly disturb the viewer to fully enjoy the magnificent iridescence of tones and subtle transitions of colors, thanks to which the master was able to perfectly convey the state of nature, colors and colors exactly as they were at the time of painting.
The excellent elaboration of light and shade allowed the artist to make a small emphasis on the fact that the leaves play in relation to the sunset, so it becomes clear why for his painting, the master has chosen this particular angle and place of view. The upper part of the canvas is entirely given to the untroubled sky which complements his entire image in an exceptional contrast, the sky with its clouds is a perfect counterbalance to the earth in this painting.
If with the bottom of the painting it is clear, this is the undoubted basis, which is immovable, the sky, on the contrary, is made so dynamically that sometimes it seems that you can see how the clouds move across the sky. Thus, it is very difficult to take your eyes away from the painting, it completely captivates by its unobtrusive nature.

The picture has something of this: tree, sunset, dawn, landscape, evening, silhouette, fog, sky, dusk, backlit, light, outdoors, silhouetted, nature, sun, weather, mist, fall, wood.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a sunset with trees in the foreground and a body of water in the distance.
