Description of the artwork «Emperor Nicholas II on a winter hunt»
Margarita Baranova, ICHF Gold Medal Winner. "Emperor Nicholas II on a Winter Hunt," 90x110 cm, canvas, oil, 2012.
Margarita Baranova was born in Leningrad in 1983. Graduated from the St. Petersburg State Academic Art Lyceum. B. Johansson. Graduated from St. Petersburg State Academic Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture named after IE Repin. Since 2011 is a member of the St. Petersburg Union of Artists. Winner of the Golden Badge of the international fund "Cultural Heritage".
Like the World of Art artists who had a predilection for depicting 18th-century imperial Russia, contemporary artists often romanticize late 19th- and early 20th-century Russia, echoes of a bygone Empire. One of Nicholas II's strongest hobbies was hunting. The hunting on Baranova's canvas is shown from a celebratory, entertaining side. However, it is impossible not to note some of the symbolism laid down by the artist. We see lively stylized figures in colorful clothing, contrasting with the blindingly white snow, hunter trumpeting the horn, frisking elegant greyhounds. Only the face of Nicholas attracts attention with its tension and concentration amidst the reigning merriment.
