Vasnetsov wrote The Northern Region based on trips to the Urals in 1899 . This picture is the end of a cycle of monumental and epic paintings on the themes of the Urals and Siberia , which include the canvases "Kama", "Taiga", "Lake". The panorama of Siberian open spaces with a full-flowing and majestic river extending beyond the horizon opens from a great height in the picture. In its calm waters, both the light blue sky and the crimson-pink sunset clouds are reflected. The endless forest landscape appears mysterious and mysterious. The artist used intense colors that convey the thrill of nature in anticipation of the night. Dark green, gray, blue and bright pink tones of the "Northern Territory" create a harmony that captivates and captivates the viewer. In this work, Vasnetsov appears as a completely mature master with a distinctly developed personality.
