Spring in Istria

Adolf Kaufmann's "Spring in Istria" presents a quiet, atmospheric view of a small town in the Istrian region. The painting captures the rustic charm of old buildings with their red-tiled roofs, clustered closely together. Smoke rises gently from a chimney, suggesting the warmth of life within these weathered walls. The muted colors and soft light of the scene evoke the early days of spring, with bare trees just beginning to show signs of budding. In the distance, the soft, hazy outline of a landscape suggests a distant sea.
