The most famous painting by Petrov-Vodkin is «The Bathing of the Red Horse». And of course, this fiery horse could not fail to inspire us in illustrating the fairy tale about another unusual and magical steed — Sivka-Burka.
Note the features of Petrov-Vodkin's style that our illustrator has transferred to the book: the effect of «spherical perspective», where the space in the painting is perceived as if inside a glass sphere; bright colors; faces that seem to be taken from Russian icons.
At the end of the book, you can read about the main stages of the artist's creative development and learn interesting facts about him. We have also included reproductions of the original works that inspired our illustrator. Additionally, use your camera on the QR code to visit our free virtual VoiceBook Museum. In the museum hall, you can approach the paintings, examine them and listen to an audio guide created by an art expert specifically for children!
