Spring

Description

Author: Alexandrov, Nikolay. 1924-2017
A landscape composition depicting early spring. In the foreground, several slender trees with bare branches rise upward, creating a vertical rhythm. The ground is covered with melting snow and water. In the middle ground, there is an open space with thawed patches of earth, while in the distance, softly outlined hills can be seen. The color palette is restrained; the painterly manner is light, with delicate detailing and soft transitions of color.
