Alexei Savrasov - artist great gifts and tragic fate. In the history of Russian art, he entered as a creator of Russian lyrical landscape, full of sadness and love for Russia. Of course, even before Savrasov in Russia was a landscape painter. But their work is more akin to a copy of Italian and French landscapes, and had nothing to do with the home, the Russian spirit. That Savrasov first to show how beautiful gray spring day. In 1871 he exhibited at the traveling exhibition a small painting "The Rooks Have Arrived". Now this picture is here to stay along with the poems of Pushkin and Tchaikovsky's music. Ivan Kramskoi then wrote: "The Rooks Have Arrived" is the best, and he did fine, although he and Bogolyubov, and Baron Klodt and Shishkin. But all the trees, water, and even the air, and the soul is only in the "rook" ...

Very interesting puzzle gave Branka. Slavic Perun, Elijah, Zeus ... As it was for real?

Lydia, I've seen this pics on many different places, and it is mostly introduced as Zeus. If Georgios could be here, he'd be of great help.

Passing hugs to Moscow :)

This is a Zeus picture from a Game site. I don't know who the painter is, however I can say that Zeus, Perun, Thor, Oden have many things in common, i.e the thunderbolt. The are characterized as Pagan gods, meanwhile Elijah, is not a god but a abrahamic prophet common in Judaism. Christianity and Islam.

Zeus >Dias > Diaus>Deus>Theos is the Living God
also ZEUS>JOVE>JHVE is also same. Now for what is Pagan and what is not Pagan I will not express my opinion.

I dedicate you ZEUS in Exile
