Oh wow, I love so much about these! The scenes and compositions seem so honest and real that you could walk right into them. You can almost feel the elements due to the use of light and color themes.
And I’ve never heard of the artist either.
Wow, thank you for sharing. Those are such powerful paintings! The “Victim of Fanaticism” was so intense, I had to look up the story:
>Pymonenko had read a newspaper account of an attack by members of the Jewish community on a girl who fell in love with a Ukrainian blacksmith and decided to convert to Christianity in order to marry him. Pymonenko visited the town of Kremenets in Volhynia, where he made many sketches from nature.
Those paintings are beautiful. Almost photograph-like. :O
Simply beautiful.
What a fabulous talent!
What a great painter, will be researching.
I found the painting with the little baby reaching out to the mother on the harvest field particularly touching.
