Deposit of the bayerische landesbank at the städtische galerie im lenbachhaus, munich. In this canvas full of nostalgia painted in sèvres (he notably represents his cat vaska), kandinski uses aerial perspective in order to be able to cram all his characters together. It evokes the distant past where figures from old russia rub shoulders: from the babushka to the little child passing by the beggar, from the pilgrim to the monk, from the loving couple in the grass to the rower, holy figures (mother carrying her child, model of umilenia, virgin of tenderness, saints boris and gleb, horseman representing saint george, wooden church) or taken from tales, kremlin citadel dominating the hill which has an isba on its side. Object Type: painting. Date: 1907. Dimensions: height: 130 cm (51.1 in) ; width: 162.5 cm (63.9 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Kandinsky, La vie mélangée
