More about this artwork
"A Scene at Dusk in Late Autumn" vividly captures the serene grace of an Autumn landscape as envisaged by Hugo Darnaut in 1891. This exquisite painting portrays a tranquil setting at twilight, where the remnants of daylight brush gently across a peaceful riverside scene.In Darnaut's composition, mature, leaf-bare trees frame the view, their gnarled branches reaching towards a soft, glowing sky that hints at the day’s end. A placid river meanders through the scene, reflecting the fading light and colors of the sky, while birds subtly animate the heavens, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise still environment.Foreground details include patches of green grass interspersed with vibrant autumnal foliage, suggesting the lingering life amid the advancing season. A lone figure engaged in fishing adds a human element, inviting viewers to ponder the quiet contemplation experienced by the individual in this natural setting.
