This original work, «Great Empire», was created by the contemporary Austrian artist Walerij Baranow.
The painting by Walerij Baranow, «Great Empire», is a powerful and majestic piece executed in mixed media (plaster, oil, gold leaf/wood), referencing the deep symbols of Russian statehood and history. The work radiates a sense of pride, power, and continuity.
The composition of the painting is built around two key elements: a waving flag and the state emblem, set against a background reminiscent of the sky.
In the background dominates the image of the State Flag of the Russian Federation — the tricolor. The flag is painted dynamically: its cloths flutter in the wind, forming deep picturesque folds. The colors of the flag — red, blue, and white — are bright, rich, and contrasting, giving the image monumentality and solemnity. Part of the flag is hidden behind the relief image, enhancing its role as a powerful background.
In the foreground, over the flag, there is a voluminous relief element, presumably made of plaster and covered with gold leaf. This is a detailed depiction of the double-headed eagle — the state emblem of the Russian Federation. The emblem is executed with historical accuracy: with crowns, orb, and scepter, as well as the image of Saint George the Victorious on the shield in the center. The golden shine of the gold leaf gives the emblem a special solemnity, imperial gloss, and a sense of timeless value.
At the top of the painting, against the sky or the light part of the flag, the words «РОССИЙСКАЯ ИМПЕРИЯ» are inscribed. This inscription directly points to the historical continuity and greatness of the state.
«Great Empire» by Walerij Baranow is not just a painting but an artistic statement about national identity and historical memory. The work impresses with its depth of symbolism, monumentality, and craftsmanship, prompting the viewer to reflect on Russia’s past, present, and future.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
