«Defeated demon»

Mikhail Vrubel

The boy suddenly became ill and died. And "Demon Defeated" had a disastrous effect on the psyche and on the health of Vrubel himself,

The artist could not detach himself from the painting, he continued to paint his face Spirit defeated and even change the color. "Demon defeated" was already hanging on the exhibition,

and Vrubel entered the hall, ignoring the visitors, he sat in front of the image and continued to work, as if it were possessed.

The painter has been examined by the famous Russian psychiatrist Bekhterev. The diagnosis was terrible: dry spinal cord, close to insanity and death. Vrubel was taken to the hospital, but treatment did not help, and soon he died.

One of the most brilliant and extraordinary genes of Russian painting, Mikhail Vrubel, he has works with which also the personal tragedies of the artist himself are connected. Thus, a portrait of his beloved son Savva was painted just before the child's death.

Probably the most famous and ugly story in the Internet space is as follows: a certain schoolgirl (often referred to as Japanese) before cutting her veins (throwing himself out of the window, swallowing pills, hanging himself, drowning in the bathroom) she designed this picture.

If you look at it for 5 minutes in a row, the girl will change (his eyes will turn red, his hair will blacken, his canines will appear). In fact, it is clear that the image is clearly drawn not by hand,

as many love to say. As this image appeared, nobody gives clear answers.

Portrait Of "The Japanese"

Some, they say, cry looking at the original "Ivan the Terrible kills his son". This image is very powerful.
