EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Source of the River Ob'. Altai, 1850-1899," is a breathtaking oil painting by the renowned Russian artist Pavel Mikhailovich Kosharov. The painting, which dates back to the 1880s, is part of a larger collection of works that capture the beauty and vastness of Siberia's remote corners, including the spectacular Altai Mountains, the bustling Siberian cities and villages, and the indigenous peoples' unique way of life. The painting depicts a lone figure, a man, standing on the banks of the Ob River as the sun sets over the mountains in the distance. The source of the river, a small but significant geographical feature, is visible in the foreground, with the water gently flowing over the rocks. The painting's rich colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, capturing the meeting of the wild, untamed natural beauty of the Altai Mountains and the tranquility of the river's source. Pavel Mikhailovich Kosharov's work is a testament to the scientific and educational pursuits of the 19th century. His paintings were not just works of art but also valuable records of the geography, astronomy, and culture of Siberia during that time. This painting, in particular, offers a glimpse into the vast and diverse landscape of the Altai region, which was still largely unexplored and unknown to many Russians during that era. The painting's setting sun and twilight colors add a sense of mystery and wonder to the scene, making it a timeless and captivating work of art. Today, it is part of the National Research Tomsk State University's collection, a fitting home for a painting that captures the spirit of exploration and discovery that has long defined Russia's relationship with Siberia.
