Crimean landscape is a 1916 paint by Alexandre Benois, a Art Nouveau work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows rolling hills and jagged mountains under a pale sky. The colors are soft—blues, browns, and whites—with a few darker shadows in the valleys. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, like the artist worked quickly. The scene looks quiet, with no people or movement. The distant peaks fade into mist, giving a dreamy feel.
