At the end of last year, the Riga Art Nouveau Center museum added to its collection the painting "Forest Meadow" by Janis Jaunsudrabins. The small-sized painting made in the oil was created in 1910, and in it the author depicts a corner of Latvia's nature - a meadow near a forest. The work belongs to the early period of Janis Jaunsudrabins work. At the time of its creation, the author had already finished art studies in Riga, held his first exhibition, supplemented his art knowledge in studios in Munich and Berlin, returned to Riga and actively turned to writing. Works from this period are relatively rare and are mostly in private collections. The painting "Forest Meadow" will be viewed for the first time by a wider circle of interested people exactly on the author's birthday – 25th of August, reveal will be complemented by a museum specialist's narration about the artist and his work. The painting will be on display at the museum for a month.
