Pearl (1904) by Mikhail Vrubel

The Pearl Seashell painting - One of Vrubel's last works, painted by him between bouts of mental illness that plagued him towards the end of his life. Beginning in 1902, he was treated for alternating episodes of mania and despondency in a psychiatric hospital, and this painting was created by him in a moment of brief remission.

Legend has it that the inspiration for the painting was a shell of pearl, given to the artist as a gift by Maximilian Voloshin. Vrubel sought a way to convey on canvas the iridescence of mother-of-pearl with paint, and he succeeded only after numerous attempts and sketches.

Fairytale characters appeared in the work after it was almost finished. The artist noted that this happened almost against his will: "After all, I did not intend to write sea princesses in his "Pearl", - he recalled. - I wanted to convey with all reality the drawing that makes up the play of mother-of-pearl shells, and it was only after making several drawings in charcoal and pencil that I saw these princesses when I started painting with paints."
