Art

There are often classic artists that Westerners still haven't been truly exposed to. One such painter is Mikhail Nesterov [М. Нестеровой] [1862-1942], a famous Symbolist Russian painter. This painting "The girl in the headdress" [Девушка в кокошнике] is from 1885. He has many, many incredible pieces. His work makes you want to watch the incredible 2002 time travel, mostly 1800s-focused art film Russian Ark [Русский ковчег, said 'Russkij Kovcheg'] again--it was done in one take! It's truly unique and interesting. It's shot all at the Winter Palace at the Russian Hermitage Museum by famous director Alexander Sokurov.
