Landscape with rainbow
Stefan Filipkiewicz (1879-1944)
The Polish Museum in Rapperswil
Rapperswil, Switzerland
Obraz przedstawia ulotny, rozedrgany pejzaż. Zaledwie szkicowo, plamą przedstawiony został złotawy horyzont, poniżej którego rozpościera się zielona łąka. Z prawej strony kompozycji zaznaczone zostały ciemne drzewa. Z lewej strony złotym kolorem artysta zasugerował fragment łuku tęczy. Na niebie przedstawione zostały brązowo-szare chmury. Całość jest przedstawiona wrażeniowo, oddając moment, chwilę, w której powstawał obraz. Dominującymi kolorami są szarości, brązy ugry, ale występują również zielenie, błękity i czerwienie.
W dolnym prawym rogu obrazu znajduje się podpis artysty.
