Chersonese. Afternoon heat 1970

"Chersonese. Afternoon Heat" is a watercolor painting by Ukrainian artist Yuriy Khymych, created in 1970. The painting depicts a seascape with the ruins of an ancient structure. The ruins are rendered in white and are juxtaposed against the warm, ochre tones of the rocky landscape and the cool blue of the sea. The painting captures the serenity of the afternoon heat and the tranquility of the sea, while the ruins suggest a sense of history and the passage of time. The work is characteristic of Khymych's style, which often featured landscapes and historical scenes.
