Alexei Korzukhin Paintings!

Alexey Ivanovich Korzukhin (Russian: Алексей Иванович Корзухин; 23 March 1835, Perm Governorate — 30 October 1894, Saint Petersburg) was a Russian genre painter.
He was born into a family of gold prospectors near Yekaterinburg. As a young man, he worked in a local railway factory and the mint. He had started painting when he was still a child so, in 1858, he entered the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts where he studied under Pyotr Basin and Fyodor Bruni. In 1861, he was awarded a gold medal and a stipend for travelling expenses. However, in 1863, he became a member of the Revolt of the Fourteen, a group of students who favored Realism and were protesting the Academy's insistence on painting in the Classical style. He and the others withdrew from the Academy, accepting the designation of Artist Second-Class. Shortly thereafter, he joined the Artel of Artists, an artistic commune, and remained with them until they disbanded in 1871. He also became a member of the Association of Travelling Art Exhibitions (Peredvizhniki) and taught drawing at the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts.
In 1865, his painting Wake in the Village Cemetery earned him the rank of Artist First-Class and, three years later, he was named an Academician. In addition to his paintings of daily life, he did portraits and religious works. These include icons and depictions of the Four Fathers of the Church at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour; wall paintings at the Ascension Cathedral in Yelets; and thirteen images for the narthex of Nativity Cathedral, Riga. He also exhibited widely, including the Second Annual International Exhibition in London (1872), the Weltausstellung in Vienna (1873) and the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia (1876).
He was a witness to the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881. This resulted in severe nervous shock and he never fully recovered his health.

Alexeï Ivanovitch Korzoukhine (en russe : Алексей Иванович Корзухин), né le 23 mars 1835 à Iekaterinbourg, mort le 30 octobre 1894 à Saint-Pétersbourg, est un peintre russe.
En 1858 il commence ses études à l'Académie impériale des beaux-arts de Saint-Pétersbourg. En 1860, il remporte le premier prix pour son tableau Le Père ivre. En 1864, il participe à la fondation de l'artel des artistes, après la Révolte des Quatorze.
Korzoukhine reçoit le grade d'artiste du premier degré pour sa toile Commémoration dans un cimetière de campagne (1865) et celui d'académicien pour Le Père de retour de la foire. En 1870, il est membre fondateur du groupe artistique des Ambulants. En 1891, il peint La Cène du Seigneur pour une cathédrale de Riga.
Il doit sans doute sa célébrité à ses nombreux portraits, tous remarquables pour leur subtile profondeur psychologique.

Trip to Moscow, ID Part 2

Well I had to respect my sisters wishes to not be filmed on the trip but I am tired lol anyway here is part 2 of the trip hope you enjoy it

Red Square

Red Square (Russian: Красная площадь, tr. Krásnaya Plóshchaď; IPA: [ˈkrasnəjə ˈploɕːətʲ]) is a city square in Moscow, Russia. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitai-gorod. Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow, because Moscow's major streets—which connect to Russia's major highways—originate from the square.

Sergei Bulgakov | Wikipedia audio article

This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
