Stanislav Zhukovsky. Night landscape. Starry sky.
Stanislav Yulievich Zhukovsky. Night landscape. Starry sky. Apparently, it represents a philosophical panorama of reflections on God, with the opposition of the starry sky embracing eternity and the vanity of life dear to the heart on Easter night. The sharpness of the drama is given by the absence of crosses on the temple, a deadly and tragic trace of the first years of Soviet power. The cold swell of the boundless skies, the planetary bending of the earth are opposite to the truthful, situational warmth of the lights of human presence. Its earthly warmth at the temple, the solemn and cozy light inside it, the light of the windows nearby are a sign of human attachment to life and hope. After all, it`s Easter. Although the painting is signed in Latin, it was probably completed in the early 1920s, before the artist left for Poland, or based on Vyatka memoirs already in exile.
