Russian Art
Surikov, V. I.
"Taking a Snow Town". 1891
Notes: Taking a Snow Town
While its subject is not as celebrated as those of either "Yermak Conquering Siberia" (1895, see ImageBase) or "Stepan Razin" (1906, see ImageBase), "Taking a Snow Town" is alive with heart-pounding action, the product of both the artist's imagination and his ability to capture an exciting or poetic moment.
