The painting “Dandelions” was painted by the artist in 1889. She is one of the most famous works of Levitan, considered a true master of still lifes. The picture appeared at a time when the author was in a small town on the Volga. This is his hometown, so all the love and tenderness was invested in the work, and also it was filled with simplicity of style and unusual transfer of the image.
Bright dandelions cause a contrast with an inexpressive gray background. It seems that the author specifically used this technique. In relation to the background, dandelions look very tender, clear and airy. Due to the fact that not all dandelions are yellow – the white color is also present, the picture becomes even fresher.
The artist pays attention to every detail of the canvas. Looking at these beautiful dandelions, immediately recall the warm and clear summer days, the enticing smell of meadows and wild flowers. These memories bring each person different emotions.
Tender and fragile dandelions make another trick – they are in a clay pot. At first, it seems that it is quite simple, but in reality, it evokes memories of its native land, traditions and local residents. Thin stalks of field plants are very graceful.
Yellow dandelions look interesting along with white flowers that are ready to fly already. They are associated with the transience of life, which also quickly disappears.
