Fog in the Forest , an autumn landscape by Julius von Klever, 1894. A lyrical and sad cast of late autumn. Foggy morning. Crows are heard. From the broken, almost overturned birch, through the diverging tree trunks, we follow the perspective of the scattering forest. The last brownish-red leaves of the dying autumn escort us to the fog, in which the distance drowns and wraps itself unsteadily. The epic beauty fascinates. A carpet of poetic metaphors is woven in its depths. The maiden pillar of the birch tree has been turned upside down by the autumn storm; she is echoed by a tilted spruce at a distance. Two young trees parting fall before us. And only the mighty spruces, with their inexorable fate, create an immutable order, keeping the vertical structure of the picture. The drama of broken hopes, broken destinies is even sadder at the end of the year, when the plans for winter are so vaguely vague and our distance is so unknown.
