In the shadow 1908

"In the Shadow" (1908) by Martiros Sarian is a painting that showcases his distinctive style and is an example of the artist's interest in Armenian landscapes and culture. The painting depicts a serene scene, bathed in warm light, with a group of animals gathered in the shade of a grove of trees. The landscape is rendered with expressive brushstrokes, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow, a key element of Sarian's artistic approach. While Sarian is often known for his vibrant and colorful depictions of Armenian life, this painting suggests a sense of quiet observation and contemplation, capturing the tranquility of the natural world.
