Carl Rosen. Winter landscape. End of the 19th century.

An inspirational canvas, one of the best from Karl Rosen - Winter Landscape, where the transparent air of the forest, along the diagonal of the river, moves towards the triumphant splendor of the sunset. There, the cold blue of the water converges with the warm chord of light spilled over the tops of the trees. The hymn of life - affirmative joy, delight of the senses of presence - sounds in the work. Signature. K.Rosen - bottom right. Oil on canvas, 56 x 70 cm. Probably the end of the 19th century.
