🎨 #OTD, on October 23, 1904, 120 years ago, Svetoslav Roerich, an outstanding Russian painter, thinker and continuator of a great dynasty, was born in St Petersburg.

🤔 The talented artist from childhood expressed interest in natural sciences, ornithology, mineralogy, which was later reflected in a unique perception of nature through his paintings.

🖼 Portrait mastery became a special page in the master's creative path — his works featured the ability to reveal the inner world of a person, convey the spiritual and emotional appearance of the model.

🇮🇳 India became his second homeland, where he created many wonderful paintings that captured the richness of local culture and philosophy. Svetoslav Roerich's artistic legacy manifests itself in a harmonious synthesis of Western and Eastern traditions, embodied in exquisite technique and deep symbolic content of paintings.

The most picturesque places for walks in St. Petersburg in the fall!

Fall is made for rustling leaves in the Tauride Garden and wandering along the Fontanka Embankment with a tea in hand. Don't believe it? Then grab an umbrella and a warm scarf and go for a walk in Russia's most romantic city!
