Well-known artist Alexander Maksovich Shilov is known to many for his portraits. He portrayed many famous people, but a great place in his work is occupied by pictures of those who survived the war. One of the most striking portraits of this genre is the painting “Invincible”.
Before us will come the slender silhouette of a veteran of the Great Patriotic War. This is a gray-haired grandfather with long eyebrows and a twirled mustache. His face is worn out by the time he has lived and is covered with wrinkles, but he radiates warmth and love. Very kind, but a little sad eyes. He is dressed in a beautiful military overcoat. On the chest hang orders for courage. He went through the whole war, he saw many terrible things, but he could conquer everything and remain in our memory an invincible hero.
Addition of the image is the background of the picture. A beautiful blue sky with, where nowhere floating clouds and a golden wheat field. The author seems to show us what we got thanks to such people. A peaceful sky overhead and sown fields, where free people will soon be working. We must never forget the immense debt we have to these people. How much do we owe them. All that now has each of us is thanks to them. And let such a hard time never happen again.
