On October 26, 1842, the Russian artist Vasily Vereshchagin was born.
Vereshchagin became famous as a battle painter during his lifetime. However, he also dedicated many of his works to the countries of the East - he depicted oriental patterns, landscapes, types of architecture and local residents. In his works, the artist was strict and truthful, showing the viewer the contrasts of luxury and poverty of the eastern countries.
In 1874–1876 and 1882–1883, Vasily Vereshchagin made two trips to India to study the life, nature, and everyday life of the country.
The result of his observations was more than 150 sketches depicting the grandeur of white-stone Indian architecture, the blue of the southern sky, and bright national clothing. The largest painting by Vereshchagin 'The Jaipur Procession' is housed at the Victoria Memorial Museum, Kolkata.
On Vasily Vereshchagin's birthday, we share his "Indian Series".

26 октября 1842 года родился художник Василий Верещагин.
Верещагин еще при жизни стал известен как художник-баталист. Однако многие свои произведения Василий Васильевич также посвятил странам Востока – он изображал ориентальные узоры, пейзажи, виды архитектуры и местных жителей. В своих работах художник был строг и правдив, показывая зрителю контрасты роскоши и нищеты восточных стран.
В 1874–1876 и 1882–1883 годах Василий Васильевич Верещагин совершил две поездки в Индию для изучения жизни, природы и быта страны.
Результатом наблюдений стало более ста пятидесяти этюдов, изображающих величие белокаменной индийской архитектуры, синеву южного неба, яркие национальные одежды Самая крупная картина Верещагина «Шествие слонов» хранится в Мемориале Виктории в Калькутте.
В день рождения Василия Верещагина делимся его «Индийской серией».
