Western Ukraine, 1950. A Greek Catholic priest was exiled to Siberia. He asked my grandfather to keep a reproduction of the painting Christ at Martha and Mary for him, should he return. He said it was the most valuable thing he owned. He died en route to S ❯❯❯
In churches, they usually sell a reproduction of a different version of the same painting. I think this one is better. At least, it has Semiradskys signature. ❯❯❯
Theres some confusion here. Where did the Rus people come from in the city of Bulgar in the 10th century? And yes, the painting is really excellent. ❯❯❯

This is Bulgaria on the Volga River, not Bulgaria on the Black Sea. The descriptions of such funerals were recorded in the notes of a 10th-century Arab traveler, Ibn Fadlan. No other sources have survived, so he painted this picture purely from his imagina ❯❯❯
I know that this is about the Volga River. Thats why Im surprised. I dont think an Arab traveler could have confused the Rus with the Bulgarians or Finno-Ugrians, so its more likely that the artist relied on a politically informed translation of the Arab t ❯❯❯
This painting was purchased by the Volokolamsk merchant Zinovev, a collector of art. In the 1920s, the Zinovev house was requisitioned and became the building for the OGPU. The Zinovev family moved to live with their relatives, the Surikov merchants. The S ❯❯❯

I learned about O. Semiradsky about 40 years ago, especially after seeing the work Dancer Among Swords. I saw a stunning copy of the work by M. Kuznetsov in Vitebsk. ❯❯❯
My great-grandmother had a painting hanging above her bed! Every morning when you woke up, it was always in your line of sight. Im looking at it now and feeling such nostalgia. ❯❯❯
I loved the paintings by Henryk Semiradzki, but I only knew about 8 of his works. Now, Im delighted to discover the paintings in your collection. I especially like the paintings with distant landscapes and perspective views. ❯❯❯
All the scenes depicted in Heinrich Semiradskys paintings are incredibly beautiful. The faces of the women are divinely lovely. All the group scenes are very emotional, and small groups of people are touching in their friendly and loving interactions. In s ❯❯❯
October 25, 2014. Irina.This painting is probably one of the most striking pieces at the Magic of the Body exhibition. I wasnt familiar with Semiradskys work before. Im now interested in learning more about it. ❯❯❯
So much work! So much life, such subtlety in these paintings – what can one possibly criticize about this genius? One could watch them without looking away for centuries! ❯❯❯
Baltin: What kind of convoluted nonsense is this, trying so hard to sound profound! Equipment... sonic? And a world event!? A major event...? Even though its lowbrow... what exactly is it about? Is life just grass?! Does that justify anything...? ❯❯❯
Hello everyone. The other day I found this painting at my dacha. It has a signature on it and is painted on canvas in a frame thats a bit damaged... Probably not an original, but its very nice. ❯❯❯

Near a water source. I have a painting like this hanging in my country house (probably a copy).
In Tbilisi, a family with six children, including Christ and Mary, is selling a painting. If anyone is interested, please let us know.
Its a shame that it doesnt specify which art galleries these paintings are in.
