Gallery Edition – Landscape at sunset by Aleksander Swieszewski – 61×44 Interior Architectural Study

Curatorial Narrative Aleksander Swieszewski’s “Landscape at sunset” (1880) is an exemplary work of Impressionist landscape painting that exemplifies the era’s fascination with capturing ephemeral atmospheric effects.
