BARTHOLOMEW NIGHT - Under such name the mass slaughter of Protestants Catholics at night on August, 24, 1572 in Paris has come in a history. This moment is submitted in the form of mysticism, that on ideas of the artist gives the big intensity to occuring event. The composition is held with a figure of the author laying in crazy dream on pillows and seeing this nightmare. Colour of a picture is disturbing. In weak light of torches ransacking murderers - Catholics in searches of the victims - huguenots are written. It is the subject plan. The art plan is opened by colour of a picture and the plastic decision. In the top right corner - an ominous mystical figure of the Catholic priest blessing this massacre. Below on a balcony - inspirers of slaughter Ekaterina Medichi and her son Charles IX.
