Harvest

Brief description

The Harvest is one of the few preserved works of the iconic Ukrainian monumental artist, persecuted and destroyed by Soviet power in 1937, the founder of the Boychukist or Neo-Byzantine school. The work dates back to the Lviv period and clearly represents M. Boychuk's interest in Ukrainian medieval painting, including icon painting. The work reveals a household theme - the harvest, but due to the strict composition, laconic color and certain conditionality of the central figures, the work acquire monumental iconic character.
