The Herbalist’s Hut by Full Moon Julius Sergius von Klever

Julius Sergius von Klever is regarded as one of the most significant masters of Russian and German-Baltic landscape painting of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works are characterised by an unmistakable, often melancholic and mysterious atmosphere. In ‘The Herbalist’s Hut under the Full Moon’, Klever depicts a wintry forest landscape at dusk. A narrow path, streaked with deep shadows, guides the viewer’s gaze past gnarled, bare tree trunks towards a small, solitary hut on the edge of the forest, from whose window a warm, golden light shines. A solitary figure struggles through the snow towards the refuge. The scene is dominated by the deep blue of the evening sky, against which the full moon rises behind the treetops, bathing the snow-covered landscape in a cold, mystical light. | 1850 Dorpat - St. Petersburg 1924 | 19.
