This original artwork “In Kolomenskoye” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Ekaterina Kebal  and is available for sale online

Ekaterina Kebal’s painting “In Kolomenskoye” is a picturesque landscape capturing a view of the architectural ensemble of the former royal estate Kolomenskoye. The artist chooses a soft color palette and an expressive painting style to convey the atmosphere of silence, tranquility, and historical significance of this place.

At the center of attention of the painting is the architectural ensemble, towering on a hill. The composition represents a fragment of the overall panorama and includes several churches, a bell tower, and other buildings. The artist does not detail each element but rather conveys the overall impression of what is seen, focusing on shape, color, and light.

The tallest building is the bell tower, topped with a dome. Its light walls contrast with the darker elements of the ensemble, creating a sense of volume and perspective. The golden dome, shimmering in the sun, is a bright accent of the painting and symbolizes spiritual height and majesty.

On the sides of the bell tower are other churches, executed in more restrained tones. Their strict lines and geometric shapes emphasize the historical significance of these buildings. The artist uses various shades of beige, gray, and brown to convey the texture of the walls and the play of light and shadow.

The hill on which the architectural structures are located is overgrown with green grass and trees. The greenery of the hill creates a feeling of naturalness and harmony and also contrasts with the more rigid forms of the buildings.

The sky occupies the upper part of the painting. It is depicted in muted blue and gray tones, which conveys the feeling of a cloudy day. The clouds, barely discernible in the sky, create a sense of movement and liveliness.

The artist uses the technique of Impressionism, focusing on conveying the overall impression of what is seen, rather than on the detailed rendering of each object. Broad, free strokes create a sense of movement and liveliness, as if the wind is rustling the grass on the hill, and the clouds are floating across the sky.

The composition of the landscape is slightly tilted, which adds dynamics and focuses attention on the upward movement towards the domes of the churches.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of silence, tranquility, and unity with history. The painting seems to invite the viewer to feel themselves in this ancient place, admire the beauty of the architectural ensemble, and reflect on the past. This canvas is about Russian history, culture, and spirituality, as well as about the beauty of nature that surrounds us everywhere.

Kolomenskoye is a former royal estate, known for its historical monuments and picturesque landscapes. The painting seems to say that in every corner of Russia there are unique places filled with beauty, history, and spirituality.
