"PROFESSOR" (2024)Oil painting by Yurii Novikov

"PROFESSOR" - 2024
Venetian doctor.
At the center of the painting stands a mysterious figure of the Plague Doctor, embodying a mix of mysticism and history. His austere black attire and signature beaked mask evoke an aura of majesty. The golden glow surrounding the staff in his hand adds a mystical element, hinting at hidden knowledge or magical power. The suitcase, bearing the inscription "Il Medico della Peste" ("The Plague Doctor"), emphasizes his role—not just as a physician but as a symbol of the fight against darkness and the unknown.
In the background, a city shrouded in mist emerges. The doctor seems to guard it, serving as the keeper of secrets.
The painting conveys a blend of historical tragedy and allegorical strength, where the character becomes not only a healer but a guide between the old and the new world.
This artwork bring the light of knowledge, hope, and healing.
