"Watercolour on Cardboard: A Glimpse into the Artistic World of Alexander Basilewsky's Parisian Residence in 1870" Step into the enchanting Gallery of Alexander Basilewsky's residence in Paris, circa 1870, and immerse yourself in a world where watercolours on cardboard come to life. Amongst the masterpieces adorning the walls, one cannot help but be captivated by the works of renowned artist Vereshchagin, Vasili Vasilyevich (1842-1904). A striking portrait catches your eye - it is none other than Mehmed V (1844-1918), Sultan and Caliph of the Ottoman Empire. Created by Pietzner, this watercolour on cardboard effortlessly captures his regal presence and commanding gaze. Moving along, you encounter another captivating piece - a mesmerizing portrait of Maximilian de Beauharnais, 3rd Duke of Leuchtenberg (1817-1852). The delicate strokes and vibrant colours bring forth his noble stature and aristocratic charm. As you explore further within these artistic realms, a tender depiction emerges - "Portrait of a Girl" from 1897. The innocence radiating from her eyes evokes an emotional connection that transcends time. In contrast stands an "Old Parisian woman" from 1893; weathered lines etched upon her face tell stories untold. This watercolour on cardboard beautifully portrays resilience amidst adversity. Stepping outside onto "The Sprawling Gardens, " nature unfolds before your eyes with vivid hues dancing across each stroke, and is as if you can feel the gentle breeze rustling through leaves as you stroll through this idyllic scene. Transported back in history to witness Napoleon's tumultuous era, "Napoleon and his staff on a hill before burning Moscow" depicts both grandeur and destruction during those fateful years of 1812-1814.
