Amy Sherald

Portrait artist Amy Sherald was born in 1973 in Columbus, Georgia. Sherald had her first solo exhibition in 2011. She remained relatively obscure, however, until 2016, when she won the National Portrait Gallery's Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. In 2017, Sherald was chosen to paint the official portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama. Sherald won the 2018 Driskell Prize and the 2019 Smithsonian Ingenuity Award. In 2020, one of her paintings, The Bathers, sold for over $4 million. Sherald's work can be found in the collections of several museums, including the the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum.

Ilja Repin (Russian Empire, 1844-1930), Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom, 1876.

Sadko (Russian: Садко, the name of the main character) is an opera in seven scenes by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The libretto was written by the composer, with assistance from Vladimir Belsky, Vladimir Stasov, and others. Rimsky-Korsakov was first inspired by the bylina of Sadko in 1867, when he completed a tone poem on the subject, his Op. 5. After finishing his second revision of this work in 1891, he decided to turn it into a dramatic work. (x)
