2022
Anni Mets (b 1992) is an Estonian painter and visual artist who graduated from the Department of Painting at the Pallas University of Applied Sciences. This work is part of a triptych and depicts a view of the open sea, as seen from the very embrace of the Russalka monument. The Russalka is a memorial located in Tallinn, erected in 1902 and created by the sculptor Amandus Adamson. It commemorates the Russian Imperial Navy ironclad Russalka, which sank in the Gulf of Finland while en route from Tallinn to Helsinki, resulting in the loss of its entire 177-member crew.
