Description of the fresco by Daniil Black “Lono Avrahamovo”
This fresco has become one of the most famous works of Daniel Black. The history of a work of art is:
“The old man lived with his beloved wife Sarah. The name of the old man was translated as” my father is tall. “Once the Lord brought a man from the city of Ur, giving him a new name – Abraham. This name means” the father of many nations. ” . “
The bosom of Abraham symbolizes the protection, the patronage of this sage. The canvas depicts paradise – a place where human souls have found their peace and tranquility. The theme of paradise, implying concealment from evil and evil, is relevant at all times.
The mural is made in bright colors, so the background is white, personifying a clear sky. In the center of the fresco is sitting Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Their faces express seriousness and thoughtfulness, and the position of the hands indicates that there is a conversation between the saints. The heads of the heroes are shrouded in golden halos denoting holiness. Below the nimbus we can hardly see inscriptions reflecting the names of the saints.
In the lower right corner is a group of people in white robes, whose heads are also surrounded by halos. They are depicted as absolutely peaceful and calm, they probably deserved their life under the protection of Abraham with good deeds and intentions. With his right hand, Abraham holds on to the belly, in which the silhouettes of people are traced. The mural is made in bright, soothing colors. Thus, the background together with a clear sky adorn green plants, giving the image lightness and holiness. At the first glance at the fresco there is a feeling of joy and tranquility.
