Description: This stunning composition featuring a view of town of Suzdal was painted by Vladimir Kiseleov from the village of Kholui. His works are very easy recognizible. This comes from years of his experience.
The stylized representation presented here is spectacular in its contrasts and linear structure. The city's most noted Monastery is stylized in the icon tradition.
The artist chose to dominate the composition with main colors. Bright gold paint abundantly details the architecture and the surrounding landscape.
This lacquer box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the piece while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. The box is not hinged. The piece comes to rest upon four round feet.
An inscription can be found written upon the lid's interior. It announces this piece as an author's original work, the title of the scene, the village name of Kholui and the year of 2002 of which the piece was finished. The artist also wrote his name, the title, the village name of Kholui at the bottom of the composition. All of this writing is completed with gold paint.
