Rose Azalia

Sender: oksana_raz

MIKHAIL VRUBEL (March 17, 1856 - April 14, 1910) Rose azalia. 1886-1887. Watercolour, lead pencil on paper. Kiev Museum of Russian Art.

oksana_raz sent this pretty Rose Azalia card with lovely stamps for the Art RR. I read on the net that Mikhail Vrubel was a natural artist who succeeded in every medium he worked in. Although he is most known for his work as a painter, he also experimented in costume design, pottery, stained glass and architecture. His greatest achievement was his Demon series of oil paintings based on a poem by Mikhail Lermontov.
