Annotation
In the painting "Sunset over a Marsh", a romantic image is created where, just by painting, the artist is able to convey the anxious anticipation that rules in nature and in the soul of man when slowly, behind accumulating clouds, the last patch of sunlight is extinguished, the light of which spreads over a somber stripe of the horizon, and all of nature is embraced by twilight.
