The artist has used a range of colors to capture the play of light on the building's surfaces. The overall effect is one of grandeur and beauty. The artist who painted this scene was Vasily Polenov.
Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov (Russian: Василий Дмитриевич Поленов; 1 June 1844 – 18 July 1927) was a Russian landscape painter associated with the Peredvizhniki movement of realist artists.
