Description of the painting by Isaac Levitan “Twilight”
The story of the creation of the picture is quite prosaic. Isaac Ilyich Levitan wrote it specially as a gift to A. P. Chekhov, who was in the Crimean sanatorium and missed his native lands very much. Most likely, this is why Levitan depicted in his picture, as close as possible, everything that was so close and familiar to Chekhov, and that subsequently contributed to his speedy recovery.
The artist surprisingly accurately selected the time for writing this picture, when the working day is already over, as shown by the haystack, near the house, and the fact that there are no people around it, dusk comes and the working day comes to an end. It is quite difficult, because the very transition from day to night, namely twilight, is rather transient, therefore it was necessary to be as concentrated and as fast as possible, and that much is important to do the job well.
In this picture we find nature in some kind of transition
The beauty, which is observed when changing the day dawn, to the evening mist descending on the house, careless strokes with which Levitan seemed to specially emphasize this hand tremor, rather exciting moment of unthinkable and bewitching beauty of nature. It becomes clear that small details are not important, both in the picture and in nature. Important common thought, semantic load.
