This work captures the play of light on flowers and white clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eKonstantin Korovin painted Nasturtium in 1888 during a period when he was exploring the effects of light and air. This work is a significant example of early Russian Impressionism. It depicts a scene at a country house, likely the Abramtsevo estate or a similar dacha. A man leans over a wooden balcony railing while a woman in a white dress stands on the path below. The composition is dominated by the flowering nasturtiums that spill over the terrace and grow along the ground.\n\nKorovin used loose, visible brushstrokes to capture the play of sunlight through the trees. The palette consists of warm ochres, greens, and the oranges and reds of the flowers. The white of the woman's dress acts as a bright spot that catches the direct light. This painting demonstrates Korovin's interest in the plein air technique, where the artist works outdoors to record immediate visual impressions.\n\nThe figures are integrated into the environment rather than being the sole focus. Their presence adds a narrative element to the scene, suggesting a quiet moment of conversation in a garden. The wooden architecture of the veranda provides a geometric structure that contrasts with the organic forms of the climbing plants and foliage. This work reflects the shift in Russian art towards a more atmospheric and painterly style at the end of the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Konstantin Korovin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57843869155663,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57850232734031,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57850232766799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57850232799567,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57850232832335,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Nasturtium_Poster_CompositorV1_1780444205111.jpg?v=1780449421","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/nasturtium-konstantin-korovin","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
