From the collection of Tretyakov Gallery
Autumn forest is a 1871 unspecified by Fyodor Vasilyev, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
This painting shows a forest scene with tall trees and dense foliage. The trees are mostly green, with some yellow and brown leaves scattered throughout. The forest floor is covered in a thick layer of leaves and branches. In the foreground, a few trees stand out, their trunks thick and gnarled. The leaves on these trees are a vibrant green, and they seem to be glowing in the light. The background of the painting is a bit darker, with the trees becoming more indistinct as they recede into the distance. The overall effect of the painting is one of serenity and tranquility. The forest seems to be a peaceful, idyllic place, untouched by the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
