We invite you to an inspiring online lecture by Professor Olha Shkolna, dedicated to the artistic interpretations of three remarkable Ukrainian parks — Sedniv Park, Kachanivka, and Sofiyivka.

During the lecture, participants will explore how Ukrainian and European artists of different eras depicted these landscapes, which artistic styles and techniques they employed, how the visual image of each park evolved over time, and why these natural masterpieces became enduring sources of inspiration for painters, graphic artists, and watercolorists.
