Still life 1930

"Still Life" by Nikolay Bogdanov-Belsky, painted in 1930, is a classic example of the still life genre. It showcases a vibrant bouquet of lilac flowers in a yellow-brown vase, set upon a table draped in a red tablecloth with a delicate lace doily. The composition features a brown earthenware jar and a dark object, adding depth to the scene. The soft light illuminating the objects and the rich hues employed by the artist create a sense of warmth and intimacy. The detail and realism in the rendering of the flowers and the tablecloth reflect Bogdanov-Belsky's skilled mastery of the medium.
