More about this artwork

The painting "The Taj Mahal, Evening" by Vasily Vereshchagin offers a serene and intimately detailed depiction of one of the world’s most iconic monuments. Painted with a profound appreciation for atmosphere and color, Vereshchagin presents the Taj Mahal bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, highlighting the majestic beauty of its white marble against a soft blue sky.The viewpoint chosen by the artist is from the banks of the Yamuna River, allowing the reflection of the structure to mirror beautifully in the calm waters, adding a dreamlike quality to the scene. The red sandstone of the mosque adjacent to the Taj adds a rich contrast to the creamy white of the mausoleum, with both standing grandly as they capture the last rays of the sun.What is particularly striking is Vereshchagin’s ability to capture not just the architectural splendor of the Taj Mahal and its surroundings but also the tranquil ambiance of the evening. Small figures can be seen near the water’s edge, perhaps locals enjoying the cooling end of the day, adding a touch of life and movement to the peaceful scene.

Vasily Vasilievich Vereshchagin was one of the most famous Russian war artists and one of the first Russian artists to be widely recognized abroad. The graphic nature of his realistic scenes meant that many of them were never printed or exhibited.

Vereshchagin was born in Cherepovets, Novgorod province, Russia, in 1842. the middle of three brothers. His father was a noble landowner, and his mother had Tatar roots. When he was eight years old, he was sent to Tsarskoe Selo to join Alexander's cadet corps. Three years later, he joined the Marine Cadet Corps in St. Petersburg and made his first voyage in 1858. Served in the frigate "Kamchatka", which sailed to Denmark, France and Egypt.
