Monument to Heinrich Semiradsky unveiled in Kharkiv

‘We always unveil monuments on anniversaries, lay new squares and parks, and install plaques to immortalise prominent people and events that played a significant role in the development of our city. And even now, during the war, Kharkiv artists are organising exhibitions and various art events. This is a testament to the strength of the spirit of our people and the indomitable nature of Kharkiv,’ said Igor Terekhov.

Heinrich Semiradsky was a famous painter who worked in the genre of academic art. Born in Ukraine, he studied at Kharkiv University, where he graduated from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. His paintings adorn art galleries in Ukraine, Poland and other European countries.
