Victor Orlow - After Sunset

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. The Russian-born painter Orlow specialized precisely in the production of genre scenes inspired by a romantic and nostalgic vision of life in his native country.

Given the spontaneity and freshness of the subject, an anecdotal scene taken from everyday life, Orlow always strives to maintain the same immediacy in his execution. Although the work is, overall, highly figurative in nature, the graphic execution, determined by short, rapid strokes, emphasizes the immediate nature of the episode. Orlow's style possesses the same freshness and vivacity of an illustration, full of curious details, with the executive quality of a work of art.

Orlow is a painter of Russian origin. He is essentially a figurative artist, dedicated to depicting romantic subjects, scenes from everyday life, or more adventurous subjects. Orlow tends to enliven his works with an impressionistic technique that conveys the spontaneity of his subjects in a formal manner imbued with freshness and immediacy.
