Vespers by Karl Bryullov

In 1925 Karl Bryullov wrote tightly “Vespers”. At that time the young artist was in search of his genre and style. A great influence on him at that time was the art of Ancient Rome. The artist’s trip to Italy inspired him to write bright storyboards.

In the picture “Vespers” we see an evening service in the temple, Christians kneeling. A poorly dressed woman, sitting on the lower steps of the temple, tries to hold the child out of her hands. A gray-haired man in white robes, a rich woman dressed in a red and blue dress, a man dressed in red and black, sat on the steps above.

The temple is almost hammered, Bryullov did not describe in detail the crowd that filled him. He paid much attention to architecture. The column at the entrance and the wall of the building were carefully written out.
