Entrance to the Genoese fortress 1962

"Entrance to the Genoese fortress" is a 1962 painting by Ukrainian artist Yuriy Khymych. The painting depicts a simplified, almost abstract view of a fortified entrance to a Genoese fortress, likely in the Crimea region, where Khymych spent his youth and drew inspiration from. Using bold, flat colors and thick, defined lines, the artist captures the architectural features of the structure, emphasizing the towering towers and strong lines of the entrance. This work reflects a distinct style characteristic of Khymych's artistic expression, which is often described as a blend of Expressionism and Abstraction.
