|
A beautiful, with lots of details painting is a cheerful landscape inspired by a country splendor of Central Russia.
The story is the following: Baba Yaga has kidnapped Ibvanushka, Anyonushka's younger brother. Swan-Geese took him away to Baba Yaga's log cabin on chicken legs deep in the woods. . Alynushka followed the geese to find out where her brother was confined. Later with the help of all her friends she rescued Ivanushka.
Unfortunately a digital imge cannot fully reflect the smoothnes of colors of his work. This lacquer box is much more gentle "in person".
This box is made of high quality papier mache and is signed on the flush base with the title, artist's name, village, and a statement that it is an original work. A beautiful and very unique piece!
The jewellery lacquer box is handmade by the Kholui Association that specializes in producing painted boxes of papier-mache. This material is more lasting than the wood, which can crack because of time or moisture. Papier-mache is an art which has deep roots in the Russian history. Producing of every lacquer miniature item is a very long and labour-consuming process. The beautiful miniature painting which covers the boxes is very detailed and originates from the Russian icon painting. The main aspects in producing of the Russian miniatures are right preparation and blending of paints (all paints are handmade), several stages of lacquering and polishing, and of course the mastery of the Kholui artists. The principal topics of the Russian miniatures are the landscapes and architectual monuments of Russia, the plots and protagonists of Russian fairy tales, fables and legends.
