This splendid marine scene has been painted by Natalya Gogina. Here she has chosen to create her interpretation of the canvas-on-oil painting called “The Battle of the Brig ‘Mercury' with the Swedish Frigate “Venus' on May 21, 1789” painted by the famous Russian painter of sea-scrapes and a professional sailor, Alexey Bogolyubov (1824-1896). The battle depicted here took place during the North War (1700-1721) between Russia and Sweden.
The scene is framed with a silver scan pattern composed of tiny shapes hand punched from silver metal sheets, and glued to the box manually.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the box while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. The box has a hinge from the top of the scene, and rests on a flat bottom. Breathtaking seascape!
