More about this artwork
Ľudovít Čordák's 1920 painting, "Summer Landscape from Košice," captures the serene and natural beauty of eastern Slovakia with an artful blend of intimacy and grandeur. Through meticulous brushwork, Čordák transports the viewer to a lush, open field, bordered by gentle mountains. The foreground features a tranquil river, reflecting patches of sky and flanked by rich vegetation. This scene, shaded by dynamic cloud formations, offers a glimpse of rural tranquility, unmarred by the onset of modernity.In true plein air spirit, the landscape reveals subtle color variations—from the earthy tones of the riverbanks to the fresh greens of summer foliage and the distant blues of mountain silhouettes. Čordák’s composition manages to convey both the vastness of the horizon and the intimate details of the water’s flow, creating a dynamic yet peaceful tableau that invites contemplation.
