Andrei Jegorov 1878–1954 Maastik kahe saaniga. 1920 - 1930

Andrei Jegorov’s classical Russian school of painting has introduced in the Estonian art trails that can rarely be found here. In his works are combined a realistic loyalty to details and romantic general impression. Jegorov achieved master class by the repeated painting of some of his favourite motifs. “Maastik kahe saaniga” continues the works in the Andrei Jegorov-style, but through repetition the author tries to overcome continuous new challenges. So also in this case he has set to himself a number of extremely complicated tasks. How to depict a wintry snow-covered landscape together with silver shadows, sparkling snow and all similar things? How to render bare trees, moving horses, sleighs and human figures, approaching from afar? There exists only one possibility - to paint as well as possible.
