Christ at Martha and Mary

Henryk Siemiradzki

Famous artist of the second half of the 19th century Genrikh Ippolitovich Semiradsky.
Having entered the Academy of Arts of St. Petersburg as a volunteer, he immediately attracts attention with a work written on the biblical theme of the tenth execution for the Egyptians - about the beating of all the firstborn in Egypt. A well-deserved reward - the first silver medal of the Academy and transfer from a free listener to a student. The main theme of his work is paintings and sketches on biblical and antique subjects, on historical themes.
