description

Mediums: fiberboard, oil.
Location: The collection of P. Dmokhovsky (France).

Briefly about the painting:

The author hesitated when the organizer proposed to include this work in a major exhibition. He explained that other paintings were “serious”, and this work, in his opinion, was a joke. Both characters, the horseman and his horse, are exaggeratedly exhausted, in fact they are skeletons. In addition, the great romantic knight is extremely shaggy. The master generally believed that viewers usually do not notice his humor and take the plots of his paintings too seriously. However, the contrast of the palette and the general emotion conveyed by the artist are really not conducive to a smile.
