Winter Landscape is a 1902 oil by Jacek Malczewski, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a winter scene with a fence in the foreground and a building in the background. The fence is made of wood and has a gate that is slightly ajar. The building is a light-colored wall with two windows. The scene is depicted in muted colors, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. In the bottom-left corner, a small black shape is visible, which could be an animal or a piece of furniture. The painting's style is reminiscent of Impressionism, with its focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and color. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
