{"product_id":"prophet-mikhail-vrubel","title":"Prophet - Mikhail Vrubel","description":"\u003cp\u003eA powerful Symbolist work by Mikhail Vrubel, depicting the spiritual awakening of a prophet through a unique, mosaic-like application of paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMikhail Vrubel painted this work in 1898, drawing inspiration from the poetry of Alexander Pushkin. The composition depicts the moment of spiritual transformation described in Pushkin's poem, The Prophet, where a six-winged seraph touches the lips and eyes of a mortal to grant him the gift of divine vision. Vrubel employs a distinct technique, using short, mosaic-like brushstrokes that create a faceted surface. This approach gives the figures a crystalline quality, as if they are constructed from shards of coloured glass or precious stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour palette is intense, featuring deep blues, ochres, and earthy browns that shift under the light. The seraph appears as a powerful, otherworldly entity, while the prophet is rendered with a sense of vulnerability and awe. Vrubel avoids smooth transitions, preferring instead to build form through the accumulation of these small, deliberate marks. This method reflects his interest in the decorative arts and his experience with stained glass and ceramic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a central figure in Russian Symbolism, Vrubel often explored themes of the supernatural, the demonic, and the spiritual. This work captures the tension between the human and the divine. The arched top of the canvas suggests a connection to religious iconography, yet the treatment of the subject remains firmly within the realm of personal, subjective expression. The figures seem to emerge from a turbulent, atmospheric space, their forms partially dissolving into the background. This print captures the texture and the specific light-reflecting quality of Vrubel's original application of paint, allowing for a close examination of his unique method of construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/symbolic-head-odilon-redon\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSymbolic Head - Odilon Redon — Odilon Redon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-lamentations-of-mary-magdalene-on-the-body-of-christ-arnold-bocklin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Lamentations of Mary Magdalene on the body of Christ - Arnold Böcklin — Arnold Böcklin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mikhail Vrubel","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58724282728783,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58724422746447,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58724422779215,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58724422811983,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58724422844751,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58724422877519,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58724422910287,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58724422943055,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58724422975823,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58724423008591,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58724423041359,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58724423074127,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Prophet_Poster_CompositorV1_1788955753382.jpg?v=1788957204","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/prophet-mikhail-vrubel","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
