I stood where this piece was painted not that long ago there at Red Square. It’s a busy street and the spires of St Basil’s cathedral in the background are a different color now. I always admire painters that capture so much activity in such detail on canvas. It’s spectacular and captures the moment of that period so well.

I don’t know how you found this one, but it’s an amazing example of Russian art.

I was so thrilled to see Surikov’s Taking A Snow Fortress when the Guggenheim hosted the show of Russian art. A shame that the iron curtain has kept so many fine Russian painters from becoming more known in the west.
