Dear Planeteers!
Again (unfortunately!) a nice project has come to an end ...:
Title: Artjom the Cossack
Scale: 1:10
Resin
Sculptor: Bust Pavol Ovecka ("Offo") - with a few changes / additions in the face by me
Cossack banner: Myself
Painting: Also by myself (oils, Acrylics and gold-/silver inks)
The bust is unique - you can not buy it!
The purpose of the project was not the most accurate reproduction of the role model from the Repin painting!
Rather, I wanted - based on the many hints that are hidden in the painting by Repin and can only be seen at extreme neckline enlargements - research as completely as possible the original clothing from the 17th century and paint these picturesquely as true to the original.
Our friend wears one
- Russian lambskin cap ("Papacha") with afabric wing ..:
- around the neck a silver cross (russian-orthodox) of Russian origin ...:
- a Ukrainian peasant shirt ("Vyshywanka") with embroidery, which was common in the 17th century only in a very specific region ...:
- a caftan of Ottoman origin with floral embroidery ...:
- a gold-embroidered sash made in one of the - in the 17th century - most famous factories of the city of Slutsk ...:
- a polish - inside fur-lined - coat of polish origin (called "Kontusz") ...:
As a Gimmik for the pedestal, I made "Artjom" a scaled-down banner of the Russian Orthodox Church, which is also based on - well implemented - historical templates from the 17th century ...:
I have not had much fun as of this project for a long time, because - as I like it! - the search for historical models and their painted representation kept the balance!
I hope you like "Artjom"!
Cheers
