[Ilya.S]

Very intresting, thanks!

[Tabiti]

I like the gamma he used. He managed to express the light of the desert sun quite well.

[Svipdag]

I am very impressed. Vereschagin's work in Turkestan is reminiscent in many ways of the work of Frederick Remington and Charles Schreyvogel in the American west.

I am grateful for this post. I would never have known of this fine artist otherwise.
