Heinrich was a shepherd’s son and almost all of his paintings reflect his childhood as being one. He drew many paintings about domestic animals plowing or just wandering in green farms. Due to his fascination towards animals in farms, he drew paintings based on the theme for more than 40 years, which are called the ‘heavy works’. This painting is another heavy work of him, plainly displaying two cows in a farm near a narrow water-stream. To me, this oil-on-canvas painting exemplifies the sheer beauty of animals in natural environment, Fearless and harmless. Not a thing in the scene is man-made. The cows, he wide-spread meadow and the little stream besides all the elements are natural and in their pure conditions. They are not manipulated […]

The warm and realistic portrayal of a tribe is illustrated by the famous Russian artist Richard Karlovich Zommer. It is genre painting of wanderers. They have pitched their tents in an open field. The trees are giving them comfort under their shadows and every living object of the tribe is having rest after a long journey. Watching the scene, it feels very calm and restful.

It feels much more adventurous things to keep wandering from place to place and exploring the new areas of the Mother Nature. This could be the most perfect life for anyone who […]

As if the artist tried to give us the glimpse of the place without adding any artistic flavours. It is just a plain view of a day in which one of the working peasants is bent over the ground. It could be represented as a resemblance to the daily life of a peasant in the country or any labour around the world. The deliberate realistic angel gives the subject its originality. You can’t depict a hard-working labour with calorific and decorative way to describe his hardship or his daily work. The description should be […]
Modern time filled with high-budget movies with special effects, we often forget that imagination and fantasy was not invented in modern time. It was sprouted in a human mind as soon as a human started ‘rational thinking’. Fantasy is a state where everything is possible and everything is allowed. When an artist mixes his fantasy and reality, he conjures up something which is totally unprecedented. Here, I see such combination of reality and fantasy by the Welsh painter Richard Wilson. Here, as the title says, is a capriccio painting bringing two different places at one. In art, capriccio means a painting which consist the combination of fictional or real architecture and buildings. Thus, they are partly real but don’t exist in real world as a […]
