"ะะตัะฝะฐั ะณะปััั"
Russian artist: Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin (1832โ1898)
Canvas, oil; 209ร161 cm
State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg
The painting depicts a remote, untouched forest. Towering trees stretch skyward, their dense canopy blocking the light. Beneath them, smaller, weaker saplings struggle to grow, unable to break through the shade. The forest floor is scattered with fallen, dry branches.

Still lifes by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour (1836โ1904)
He didnโt just paint flowers in vasesโeach bloom was paired with a carefully chosen vessel: a glass tumbler, a crystal goblet, a woven basket.
The French writer รmile Zola once said of Fantin-Latourโs still lifes:
โMonsieur Fantin-Latourโs canvases donโt shout at you from the walls. They demand time and quiet observation. Look closely, and their quiet truth will reveal itself. And youโll find yourself returning to them, again and again.โ
