Composition on the picture Vereshchagin “In the Kremlin – a fire!”
Many who have studied or even heard about the Patriotic War of 1812 know how many calamities and misfortunes the Napoleonic army brought to the Russian people. The largest and most painful was the seizure of the capital and subsequent fires that broke out. All this was accompanied by looting and looting by French soldiers and could demolish the entire city from the face of the earth. This was not part of Napoleon’s plans. It is the moment when Napoleon looks anxiously at the burning city from the Kremlin wall, showed in his film “In the Kremlin – a fire!” Vereshchagin Vasily Vasilyevich.
We clearly see the Kremlin wall, on which come the tongues of flame, smoke and dust. Napoleon is tense, he is not accustomed to retreat, but he can not fight the elements of fire. The fire is already approaching the warehouses with gunpowder. In a few minutes the whole city can fly to the air. Behind the emperor is his retinue. They also observe what is happening in complete confusion.
This author showed himself not only as a battle artist, but also notes of a historian and a psychologist. Expression is visible in the images. The beautiful golden form of the suite, the long cloak of the emperor and the snow-white camisole are completely invisible against the background of the burning city. All the realities of the war and its consequences are shown here.
