Academician / Inspirational prints / Paintings (Reproductions) / Russian - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of Stanislas Lepine’s “The Shepherd’s Concert” of 1862. This is an intimate rendition of country life in Poland. This masterpiece was in the Kroneberg Collection but was lost in World War II. It was found in a sale on January 21, 2004 and restored to the Polish nation. The artist was born in 1831 Warsaw. He graduated from St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, returned to Warsaw and left for Paris in 1850 for further studies. He established a school in Warsaw in 1858 and was made a professor of the St. Petersburg Academy in 1878. He died in Warsaw at the age of seventy, never seeing the resurrection of his native land into an independent country. This is a fine example of his work and it is in the Royal Castle, Warsaw, Poland.
