Cold day (A house in the sun) is a 1893 oil by Jan Stanisławski, a Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a house in the sun, set against a backdrop of trees and a cloudy sky. The artist has used oil paint to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, with the sun casting a gentle glow over the scene. In the foreground, the house stands out as the central focus of the painting, surrounded by trees that add depth and texture to the composition. The cloudy sky above adds a sense of movement and energy to the scene, creating a sense of contrast between the calmness of the house and the turbulence of the sky. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of volume and depth, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds a sense of realism to the painting, making it feel like a snapshot of a moment in time.
Jan Grzegorz Stanisławski (24 June 1860 – 6 January 1907) was a Polish modernist painter, art educator, and founder and member of various innovative art groups and literary societies.
