The watercolor landscape painting ‘Voznesenye Village on a Gloomy Day’ features one of the streets in the village of Voznesenye in the Primorsky District, Arkhangelsk Oblast. The artist Anastasia Egorova painted this picture in 2020. She depicted village houses: one of them is a two-storey building in the traditional Pomor style. There are trees behind the fence: some trees are yellow, the others already have no leaves. These details evidence that the artist depicted an autumn day in the picture.
It is a plein-air painting done by Anastasia Egorova within the ‘Sukhanov’s Readings’ event, which took place in August 2020. The annual festival is held in Arkhangelsk Oblast in honor of Mikhail Sukhanov, the folk poet of the 19th century. Writers, artists, and actors from all over the region participate in the event.
The village on Andriyanov Island was first mentioned in the 15th-century documents. The Church of the Ascension (“Voznesenye” in Russian) was built there a century later — hence the name of the village.
Anastasia Egorova finished Children’s Art School №1 in Arkhangelsk. She also attended the classes of the famous landscape painter Vladimir Treschev. Egorova’s first solo exhibition was held in Primorye Arts and Crafts Museum from February to March 2021. The exhibition displayed about 40 of her works, some of which thereafter remained in the permanent collection. Most of Anastasia Egorova’s paintings are watercolor landscapes, but she also does portraits and genre sketches from rural life.

The village of Voznesenye is located nine kilometers away from Arkhangelsk, on the Andriyanov Island. From May to October, there is a ferry service connecting the island and the city. In winter the transportation takes place on ice.
