Description :
Yermak's Conquest of Siberia, a painting by Vasily Surikov 51” wide x 25” tall Vasily Surikov was the foremost Russian painter of large-scale historical subjects. He was a true realist, and his pictures are genuine representation of history without stylisation or idealisation typical of official hystoriography. They are remarkable for the original way in which they represent space and movements of people. Surikov’s major pieces are among the best-known paintings in Russia. It is this battle in West Siberia that Surikov depicted on his canvas. He had been collecting the material for several years travelling and studying the life, customs and traditions of the local people, making sketches of folk types, of old garments and weapons. The general impression of the picture is the grandness of the battle, enormity of the people’s collision. “Two storms meet”, are the author’s words about the action. Surikov rendered the intensity of the violent clash of masses as well as the mood and state of every warrior. The painter found original colours for representation both the brave faces and bright coats of the cossacks and the mongoloid faces with high cheekbones and the fur garments of the Tartar tribes. Surikov was sure that every nationality has a beauty of its own.
