Russian FAIRY-TALES. Palekh Painting.

Palekh - the only place in the world, where still alive a wonderful tale of the time of Russian culture, when her art was of world importance.

Distinctive features of Palekh Miniatures - painting on a black background, processed with clear lacquer finish to a mirror shine, the complexity of multi-image compositions, detailed disclosure of the plot.

Favorite motifs of the painting - the epic, Russian folk tales, stories of rural life, the reasons for the works of great writers.
