"Demon seated in the garden"

For my art class I had to write a critique on a 2D design, and I've selected one of my favorite paintings: "Demon seated in the garden" by a Russian painter Mikhail Vrubel (XIX century). Here it is in all its glory: 


The palette of emotions radiating from the painting is just amazing. That's why I couldn't resist to post the image. Now, how can modern art even compare to this?

Another very famous painting by Vrubel is "Swan princess". It is quite stunning, I agree.


Vrubel loved the "fairy tale" theme very much, so that's why the demon and the swan princess.
