About the piece

Painted in 1904, this early work by Wassily Kandinsky captures the grounds of Nymphenburg Palace in Munich. The piece demonstrates Kandinsky's early transition toward expressionism, utilizing a heavy impasto technique and a vibrant palette to emphasize the rhythmic interplay between the solid architecture and the fluid reflections in the water.
