Original artwork description
Ⅶ. Nude. A study in the style of the old masters. The figure is still alive, she’s still trying to swim up from the bottom.
Preparatory sketch, made for the main painting - The River of the Dead. To avoid the photo effect in the painting, I collected material from live models. I could not allow such a large painting, which I painted for 3 years, to have a hint of a copied photo. Thus, a whole series of sketches with drowning souls was born. This is a large study of anatomy, complex angles and built-in soft light, a study that laid the foundation for my style for the years to come. This is a study of mythology, which changed all the themes of compositions and graduation works at the Academy of Arts for the next few years. This study, which is very dear to the Museum of the Academy of Arts and presents the main painting The River of the Dead in the largest national museums of many countries. In the last photo in the gallery you can see a fragment of The River of the Dead with a similar figure from this sketch. This canvas is a small price to pay for the opportunity to have a great story.
