EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Marianne von Werefkin's masterpiece, "Styx" painted around 1910-1911. The oil painting on thin card laid down on cardboard depicts a scene filled with agricultural activity and the serene beauty of the coastline. In this early twentieth-century artwork, we are transported to a rural coastal setting where farming meets maritime life. A bustling boat unloads its cargo while a group of men and women engage in various tasks amidst ploughed fields and green landscapes. The presence of a windmill adds charm to the countryside backdrop. The composition beautifully captures the essence of daily life during that era, with individuals actively engaged in physical activities such as carrying goods and tending to their surroundings. Against the receding view, we see four people standing together, adding depth to the perspective. The color palette is dominated by shades of pink and green, creating a harmonious blend with the blue sky and water. The horizon stretches far into the distance, emphasizing both the vastness of nature and human interaction within it. This print allows us to appreciate Werefkin's skillful portrayal of rural existence intertwined with coastal elements. It serves as a timeless reminder of simpler times when agriculture thrived alongside maritime traditions – an exquisite piece capturing both artistry and historical significance.
