Peredvhizniki show at National Museum in Stockholm Part 2.

I have decided to just upload the whole show with a few choice closeups, and then return to them later with posts on single paintings.

































"Give me a dirty puddle!"




Impossible to capture this. I will  have to go back and try again. (No arm twisting necessary I can assure you) 
Apparently when the artist (Arkhip Kuindzhi) painted this he used Bitumen, and it is considerably darker now than when it was made.
