About this work

This painting depicts a view of the Kremlin from Krimsky Bridge on a stormy day. The sky is filled with large, dark clouds, and the sun shines through the gaps, casting a warm glow on the buildings and the river below. In the foreground, a figure in a white dress walks along the riverbank, while another figure stands on the bridge, looking out at the viewer. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the mood of the scene, from the deep blues and grays of the sky to the warm browns and golds of the buildings. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. The painting is held at the Tretyakov Gallery, where it is part of a collection of works by Russian artists.
