About the piece
Painted in 1914 by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, this masterpiece of Russian Symbolism reimagines traditional iconography through a modernist lens. The artist's signature 'spherical perspective' and bold use of red and blue create a sense of profound spiritual presence and movement, making it a powerful statement piece for elevated interiors.
