Rural Landscape, Nikolay A. Klodt
In his “Rural Landscape” the artist effectively conveys the unhurried nature and steady rhythm of rural life. It is a traditional countryside scene: a horse grazes as hens wander by in the foreground, drawing the viewer into the space of the image. To the side, a log house and a hay barn with folded bales underneath reflect the hard labor of the peasants. Fir trees rise above the buildings and slender birches grow nearby. The roads scatter to different directions, one of them leads the spectator down the hill and further to distant horizons.
