Imam Shamil, who is the author?
 

Dear forum users !
My friend has a picture which he had inherited from his grandfather. He really wants to know the author's work. Historians and critics say that shows the Imam Shamil, the time of Alexander 1, during the war in the Caucasus. Sfotkat . Praised the " academic art " as they called it Pyshta MJ and museum staff , but essentially nothing to say they could not. Should I invest in the expertise and who is the author ? Tell me, please !

And this is where Imam Shamil rides ? What is the landscape around that for architecture ?
At the village Gunib , for example, it bears little resemblance .

And in the days of Alexander - a " no Imam Shamil has been, vostanie Chechens led by Ghazi Muhammad raised in 1831, already under the Emperor Nicholas .

Cyril Syzran,

Thank you for the info!
Of course, with Nicholas.

Maybe it's not Shamil - I just passed on the information received from local critics.
However, the question of authorship, unfortunately, it does not solve, and it remains an open question.

levkor, in my opinion, the painting depicts a Harun al-Rashid, a scene from "1001 Nights".

Once again thank you for your participation.

When I saw the picture on the monitor, noticed some characters ...

Maybe they mean something?
Or maybe just struck me.

Just do not Gunib :)>

And I do not Caucasus

Of course.

Some fantasy landscapes and architectural aspects.

Bridge or aqueduct there gave some antique.

This means that local experts were wrong.
It happens in every one.

Maybe they were wrong, and yet another picture with the caption Shishkin?
They said that such a picture it does not have a fake, most likely, although there have similar stories.

It makes sense to show it here?

And sorry for the trouble.

That's how you want.


And what is anxiety?

In what way?
Who?

Well, since you are wasting your time ...

My wife - a historian.
It shamed me for my opus and was impressed with your knowledge and learning.

And about Shishkin - you want to show, and suddenly - a miracle and something worthwhile?

This is probably a branch of the examination or may be in the same?
