EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Russian Convent of Russico, captured by the talented artist Georges Kossiakoff in the 19th century. Part of a series of watercolour drawings depicting Mount Athos, this particular image transports us to a serene landscape filled with religious significance. The scene unfolds outdoors against a breathtaking backdrop of rolling hills and an expansive sky. Bathed in warm hues of yellow and orange, the monastery stands proudly on the hillside, its domes and rooftops reaching towards heaven. As dawn breaks or evening descends upon this tranquil country setting, smoke gently rises from chimneys adding an ethereal touch to the atmosphere. The elevated view allows us to fully appreciate the architectural beauty and grandeur of this sacred place. The Russian Convent's distinctive features are highlighted - from its ornate chimney stacks to its majestic dome - all contributing to its unique charm. Dating back to the 19th century, this print is a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. Published in London in 1913 as part of The Studio Volume 59 by Ralph Nevill, it has since become a cherished piece among art enthusiasts and collectors alike. Immerse yourself in this mesmerizing watercolour landscape that captures not only Russia's rich cultural heritage but also offers a glimpse into centuries-old traditions at Mount Athos. Let your imagination wander as you explore every intricate detail lovingly portrayed by Georges Kossiakoff's skilled hand.
