This original artwork “9th of May. Immortal regiment” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Andrej Vystropov  and is available for sale online.

Andrey Vystropov’s painting “May 9th. The Immortal Regiment” is a mystical and heartfelt canvas in which the artist addresses the themes of memory, gratitude, and the connection between generations within the context of the Victory Day celebration. Using muted, cool tones and a technique combining realism and symbolism, he creates an atmosphere of reverence, sorrow, and hope, characteristic of this important day for Russia. This is not simply a depiction of figures holding burning candles, but rather a visual ode to the heroism of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War, their courage, resilience, and self-sacrifice.

At the center of the painting are three figures, dressed in light robes, holding burning candles in their hands. Their faces, appearing ethereal and transparent, seem to embody the souls of fallen soldiers who have come to honor the memory of their comrades. The figures seem to symbolize the connection between generations, the continuity of memory, and the eternal gratitude of descendants.

A distinctive feature of the painting is the depiction of the Immortal Regiment, processing in the background. Their silhouettes, seemingly merging with the darkness of the night, create a sense of the countless and inexhaustible flow of people coming to pay tribute to the memory of the war heroes. The Immortal Regiment seems to be a symbol of the unity of the people, their strength, and their steadfastness.

The sky, occupying most of the painting, is rendered in dark tones, studded with stars. The stars seem to be symbols of the memory of the fallen heroes, their light not fading even after their death.

Beneath the figures, one can discern dark silhouettes, hinting at human shapes.

The artist employs a technique of realism with elements of symbolism, emphasizing the communication of emotional state and the creation of an overall impression of reverence, sorrow, and hope. The cool color palette, clear lines, and smooth transitions create a sense of an otherworldly realm where the memory of the past lives in people’s hearts and illuminates their path into the future.

Overall, the painting’s narrative conveys a feeling of gratitude, respect, and bright sorrow. The painting seems to invite the viewer to pause for a moment and reflect on the heroism of the Soviet people, on the value of peace, and on how important it is to remember the past in order to prevent the recurrence of tragic events.
