The Cultural Heritage Museum hosts an exhibition of paintings by a Yalta artist Stepan Yarovy (1913-1988).
Stepan Yarovy was a famous landscape painter or, more specifically, a painter of seascapes. His works give one the impression that he was truly in love with Yalta, where he lived almost all his life, and the sea, which he painted countless times, and needed nothing else. However, the present exhibition shows him as a talented portraitist (Daughter’s Portrait) and still- life painter (Roses on the Window Sill), and, most importantly, an indefatigable traveler mesmerized by the spring in the transpolar regions, famous landscapes of St. Petersburg, nooks and crannies of Sednev, and the serene Baltic shore. Yet, most works on show feature Crimean landscapes (Old Bakhchysarai, The Fortress of Genoa). Meanwhile, the Crimea and the sea are inseparable.
