Wet Meadow by Fedor Vasilyev, 1872

This is a reproduction of “Wet Meadow” by Fedor Vasilyev of 1872.  This wonderful landscape shows a masterful contrast between  the silent meadow with its tiny lake and the swirling clouds of a sky in powerful transition.  Vasilyev was born in Gatchina, south of St. Petersburg, and was a self-taught painter.  He contracted tuberculosis in 1871 and moved to Yalta in the Crimea in an attempt to recover his health.  He died there in 1873.  This masterpiece is in the State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.
