Painting " Alexander Nevsky, Victory!"

Alexander Nevsky was a very creative leader in the history of Russia, his decisions were striking in their originality and simplicity in achieving success. He was not the first to apply the principles of kung fu, even Princess Olga used the enemy's power to defeat him, so the young Prince on lake Peipus in 1242 allowed the knights to build their favorite "pig" and swallow plenty of Neva water) . We are the descendants of the glorious strategist remember the wit and ingenuity in his stories, often repeating them. No wonder the order of St. Alexander Nevsky is given for the victory of small forces over a superior enemy.
In the picture, I used modern methods and techniques, maximized the terrain to convey the atmosphere of the dynamics of the battle, not only the composition but mainly the color and texture tried to convey the sounds of what is happening, the crackling of breaking ice floes, snoring horses and triumphant shouts of the winners. This picture is an image of the victory of the Russian mind and wit, faith in their own strength and the help of all the nature of their native land in our right cause! The gold background in the process of painting was almost closed and remained only on the ends of the picture, creating the impression of a gold ingot with the image applied. A perfect gift for a man, a defender. Rider on a white horse, the Victory of Russian weapons.
