Annotation

Although based on real impressions, Nikolai Krymov’s landscapes are semi-fictitious. Their most interesting features are their sonorous tones, wellplanned compositions and ability to subtly convey the various states of nature. The artist descried the romantic poetry in the simplest of motifs.
