“Landscape with River and Angler” depicts the River Moskva near the village of Arkhangelsk where Savrasov lived and worked in the summer of 1859. It is considered a forebear of the development of Russian Landscape as a genre with its simultaneous authenticity as a depiction of nature and an expression of the artist’s own emotional experience.
