With Heart and Eyes. Vincentas Slendzinskis (1838–1909)

Everything yielded to the brush of Vincentas Slendzinskis – he experimented with every possible genre of painting. In his work, like in a kaleidoscope, portraits were replaced by landscapes, genre scenes, and paintings with historical, mythological, and religious subjects. And that is not to mention his literary attempts. His best works testify to an ability to look deeper, surprising with their striking observation and psychological expression. Born from the routine of everyday life, his works reveal Vincentas's nature not only to see life unembellished but also to feel it with his heart – to convey the most sensitive nuances of the soul.
