Free copy of the painting "The Abduction of Europa"

After visiting the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, the painting "The Abduction of Europa" did not leave my mind. Valentin Serov traveled to Greece in 1907 and received a powerful charge of inspiration from the Cretan-Mycenaean culture. The Temple of Perthenon, according to him, was a perfect creation, the Athenian Acropolis, the island of Crete - all this prompted him to paint the painting "The Abduction of Europa". The artist decided to feel the emotions that Valentin Serov tried to convey in this painting. Serov made changes to his masterpiece until the end of his life and never showed it to his friends, and in vain! The artist Antogera tried to reproduce the technique of brushstrokes and the color palette as accurately as possible. Blue shades of the sea, the color of ochre in the bull's skin and the refined divine pallor of the skin of Europa herself.
