The landscape with a river is one of the representative works of Václav Radimský from the period after 1910, ie from his very valued period. His main inspiration was the water surface in all its forms. At first she had the river Seine, especially at Giverna near Vernon, where Radimský lived. Later, when he returned to his homeland, he painted the turbulent water levels in the Elbe. The impressive composition and impressive color composition in scales of green, blue and brown valeurs and bright orange tones proves that this is an extraordinarily mature work with a beautiful atmosphere. The reflection of the clear blue sky of the summer day on the water is complemented by willow and alder crowns with a touch of impression and rippling grass in the meadow in the background. Expert opinion of PhDr. N.
