In Agnus by Konstantin Korobov, the artist uses symbolism and contrast to explore themes of innocence, sacrifice, and evil. The painting shows a calm white lamb surrounded by aggressive wolves, creating a strong contrast between purity and violence. The lamb, which represents innocence and possibly religious faith, stands out because of its bright color and peaceful expression, while the dark wolves symbolize corruption, greed, or danger. Korobov’s use of lighting and composition draws the viewer’s attention directly to the lamb, making it the emotional focus of the painting. Overall, the artwork creates a tense but meaningful atmosphere that encourages viewers to think about morality, suffering, and the struggle between good and evil.
