Thaw Yuly Klever (1850-1924)

Description of Julius Clover’s painting "Thaw"

The author painted his painting Thaw at a mature age. At this time the artist had already formed his own style, not unlike other academic landscapes. The works of this author enjoyed great popularity during his lifetime and do not cease to be popular today. They always leave a pleasant impression, delighting the viewer with their colors and technique. Looking at them, the public always understands how talented was their creator.

All his works are still a huge success in art markets.

In his painting, the author was able to depict all the colors of a winter dawn. Although this painting depicts a hard and cold time of year for people, but at the same time, a person does not have any unpleasant emotions. It seems as if he himself is on this snow-covered road and feels the winter frost.

The main subject depicted in the picture is a huge tree, slowly coming to life after the end of a harsh winter. In the background of this tree is a very small old woman, dragging a sack on her shoulders. She seems to be moving along a slightly thawed road along the small houses arranged around her.

Compared to the big tall tree the old lady looks quite tiny. The white blanket of snow is still on the ground, but you can see that in some places the snow is not so wintery anymore. Spring is coming, and the thaw is beginning. Soon nature will come alive and blossom in exuberant colors. It is as if the painting gives the viewer hope that all bad things will soon be over, just like this winter.
