Extraordinary.

The second one has the building on the right removed. The joy and flexibility of art.

Alexei Savrasov was only 24 years old when he produced the extraordinary master work that can be seen below. Indeed a great achievement.

This one was painted in 1869, 15 years later! As can be seen, while the contrast is huge in both style and composition, the extraordinary quality is maintained.

A few years later, Savrasov's style would firmly establish in sober landscapes where snow is a key element and awesome beauty a constant.

Another landscape radiating peace and beauty and love of nature in this very early painting of 1852.
