Moonlit Landscape with Castle Slanec

Ľudovít Čordák was born in Košice, but he lived in Munich and later in Prague, where he was following the traditional realism and romanticism trends of contemporary landscape painting. After returning to Eastern Slovakia and settling in Slanec, his art started to lighten up and incorporate more personal expression.

The new luministic attitude of Ľudovít Čordák's Slovak period is exemplified by the Moonlit Landscape with Castle Slanec, which despite being a traditional plen-air painting, feels somewhat enigmatic and out of time.
