Image of the Bronze Horseman
The painting depicts the very moment in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, Op. 35: IV Festival of Bagdad, as Sinbad's ship is being smashed up against the rocks, the crew are screaming for their lives, as they look up to the top of the cliffs they see a 'vision of a bronze horseman', this is the part of this music that inspired me to paint this portrait, it is a homage to the conductor Lief Segerstam
