Autumn park Yuly Klever (1850-1924)

Description of Julius Clover’s painting "Autumn Park"

Believe it or not, but for a long time it seemed like a photograph. I couldn’t believe it was the work of the talented artist Julius Clover. In fact, all of his work shines with his genius, his amazing talent. And on this canvas we are presented with an autumn park.

And here is the piercing sadness of this time of year, some kind of grayness suddenly makes itself felt. How did he do it? How did he achieve this effect on the audience? In front of us is not a swamp, but clearly swampy rivulet, which may be in the spring and become a fast river, but now it is slightly shallow and looks like something swampy and dingy.

The landscape itself, the same is not particularly inspiring: dried up trees, dried grass, a lonely abandoned or forgotten boat. But in the distance you can see a white bridge, which is just in a fairly comfortable frame of trees, which have not lost their summer lushness, but only changed the color of leaves. And there, in the distance is just as beautiful and impeccably lyrical, but here in front is somehow ugly and sad. But why exactly what is ahead is interesting.

Drawing the details, the water surface, the unmistakable composition - all this is a true mastery of the master.

By the way, Clover’s works were not so well known, only now they have acquired the popularity they deserve. There are not many works of this artist, but they are worth admiring and writing about, because few people today use the technique the artist wrote.

And yet autumn... It is probably the favorite time of the year for many famous painters because there are many canvases where autumn is the main character. Let the sad or even gloomy, but nevertheless every now and then there is a glimmer of hope, as the artist has on his canvas. After all, in the distance, where the bridge is, the sun is still shining brightly. And this means that everything is not so bad.
