Each canvas is stately and monumental, extolling the virtues of discipline and emotion styled by the foremost of his teachers - Rembrandt and Vermeer. The interplay of light and shadow and especially Alexander Sheversky’s inherent understanding of light bring a life to the painting that resonates and lives before the viewer.
