Tertia vigilia 2020

"Tertia vigilia" (2020) by Andrey Remnev is a striking example of contemporary realism. The painting features a figure dressed in a fantastical outfit, likely from a historical period, with a red rooster held in one hand. The use of rich colors and detailed brushwork creates a sense of realism, while the combination of historical and fantastical elements adds a layer of symbolism and intrigue. The title "Tertia vigilia" (meaning "third watch") further suggests an allegorical theme related to time, awareness, or the passage of night. The work is a compelling example of Remnev's ability to blend elements of realism, fantasy, and historical reference in a way that is both visually captivating and thought-provoking.
