The Boxer - Konstantin Andreevic Somov Framed Canvas
Description
Somov's "The Boxer" jabs at the canvas with the precision of a seasoned pugilist, each brushstroke a calculated blow against artistic convention. Boris Snezhkovsky, muse-turned-masterpiece, stands caught in the crossfire between Rococo refinement and raw physicality. Light caresses his form like an admiring opponent, revealing a body honed by countless rounds in life's ring.
The mirror, a silent referee, reflects truths the boxer himself can't see, while the chest of drawers stands as a corner man, holding secrets of past bouts. Boxing gloves, discarded yet prominent, whisper of violence barely contained by civility. Somov's palette, a bruise-inspired symphony of flesh tones and shadowy hues, captures the duality of a fighter's existence - beauty born from brutality.
This canvas doesn't merely depict a boxer; it becomes the arena itself, where art history and modernity trade blows in a match that echoes through Christie's auction halls. In Snezhkovsky's pensive gaze, we glimpse the eternal struggle of man against canvas, artist against expectation, each viewer a judge scoring this timeless bout between classical technique and contemporary vision.
Information
• Patience is... boring: Produced locally in the USA, EU, UK and AUS. Meaning your new treasure arrives in a flash, not a sigh.
• Transform any room into a gallery: The artist-grade canvas is a finely textured, 38mm, 400gsm cotton that captures the subtlest nuances of light and color.
• Do good, look good, feel good: Sitting approx 5mm from the edge of the canvas — creating a floating border — the FSC® certified frame is made of sustainably sourced wood, meaning your new treasure's 100% forest friendly.
• Natural beauty preserves natural beauty: Vivid, water-based eco-inks as lush and enduring as traditional inks… minus the chemical junk.
