EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on card painting, titled 'Source of the Katun River Altai,' is a breathtaking masterpiece created by Russian artist Pavel Mikhailovich Kosharov between 1880 and 1897. The painting is part of a larger collection of works that capture the remote corners of Siberia, showcasing the stunning vistas of the Altai Mountains, the diverse cities and villages, and the unique faces and way of life of the indigenous peoples of the region. The painting depicts the source of the Katun River, located in the Altai Republic of Russia. The Katun River is a major tributary that flows into the Ob River, which is the fourth longest river in Russia. In this painting, the river is shown drifting gently through the rocky terrain, surrounded by towering mountains and billowing clouds. The mountains, bathed in the soft, warm light of the sun, appear majestic and awe-inspiring, while the clouds add a sense of movement and energy to the scene. The painting invites us to take a moment to reflect on the vastness and beauty of the natural world. The meeting of the frontiers of land, water, and sky is a reminder of the vast distances and the wonders that can be found in the most remote corners of the world. The painting also serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the geography, culture, and heritage of a time long gone. Pavel Mikhailovich Kosharov was a prolific artist who spent much of his career documenting the Siberian wilderness. His works are now housed in various collections, including the National Research Tomsk State University and the Library of Congress. This painting, in particular, is a testament to his skill as a painter and his deep appreciation for the natural world.
