The new book «”Annunciation” by Oleksandr Murashko: plot and image» is already on sale!
The book about one of the most famous works of the NAMU collection, “Annunciation” (1909), is dedicated to two memorable dates – the 125th anniversary of the National Art Museum of Ukraine and the 150th anniversary of the birth of its author, artist Oleksandr Murashko.
Art historian Daria Dobryan devoted almost ten years to the study of the “Annunciation”. The painting was studied on the basis of archival materials, a large number of sketches and sketches. The monograph also tells about the history of the creation of the work, its stylistic features and artistic parallels with works of world heritage.
The choice of this painting and the author was not accidental. “Annunciation” is considered one of the most famous works of Oleksandr Murashko, a prominent Ukrainian artist, one of the founders of the Ukrainian Academy of Arts. Long creative searches led to the creation of one of the most original versions of the Gospel story.
