01 Work, The Art of War, Nikolai Kolupaev's Victory Banner, with footnotes

Nikolai Kolupaev, 1941
 Victory Banner

I have no further description, at this time

This painting was dedicated to the heroes of 1941. To those who thwarted the German blitzkrieg plan. To those who died a brave death for their Motherland, fighting to the last bullet. And he cherished our battle banner like a shrine, like the hero of this picture. They did not see the Victory, but without them the Berlin operation of 1945 would have been simply impossible... 

Nikolai Kolupaev is not only a battle painter. He, a representative of the post-war generation, feels the trench truth of war like no one else. The truth of our fathers and grandfathers. And this picture - part of the diptych - is the most tragic and bright. Because the valor and feat of the soldiers and commanders of the Red Army are immortal. More on this painting
