Koe wevala is a 1889 oil by Vasily Polenov, a Impressionism work, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
This painting shows a room with a large, ornate wall featuring many small pictures. The wall is made up of many rectangular sections, each with its own image. Some of these images appear to be religious figures or scenes. The wall is painted in warm colors, with shades of red, gold, and brown. The overall effect is one of opulence and grandeur. The room itself is not well-defined, but the focus is clearly on the wall and its intricate details. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to explore the technique of glazing, which involves applying multiple thin layers of transparent paint to achieve a deep, rich color.
Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov (Russian: Василий Дмитриевич Поленов; 1 June 1844 – 18 July 1927) was a Russian landscape painter associated with the Peredvizhniki movement of realist artists.
