On the Outskirts of Kostroma - Konstantin Bauer

A tranquil landscape by Konstantin Bauer, 'On the Outskirts of Kostroma' captures the quiet beauty of the Russian countryside in muted tones and expressive brushwork. A timeless piece perfect for adding a touch of historical charm to your home.

Konstantin Konstantinovich Bauer (1865-1929) was a Russian painter known for his landscapes and genre scenes, often depicting rural life and the changing seasons. His work captures the essence of the Russian countryside with a delicate touch and a keen eye for detail. 'On the Outskirts of Kostroma' exemplifies Bauer's ability to evoke a sense of place and atmosphere. The painting presents a view of a village edge, likely near Kostroma, a historic city northeast of Moscow. The composition features a dirt road leading into the village, flanked by weathered wooden fences and simple buildings. The colour palette is muted, with soft browns, greys, and blues creating a tranquil, almost melancholic mood. The sky is overcast, adding to the sense of quiet isolation. The brushwork is loose and expressive, capturing the textures of the landscape and the rustic character of the buildings. As a fine art print, this piece brings a touch of understated elegance and historical charm to any interior. Its subtle colours and evocative subject matter make it a versatile addition to a living room, study, or hallway, offering a glimpse into the Russian countryside of the early 20th century.
