Composition on the theme “Before the storm”
Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin is a famous Russian artist, one of the most famous landscape painters of the second half of the nineteenth century. He created many wonderful canvases, which unites one common principle – an endless love for the homeland, to a modest northern nature. His works are very popular both in his life and now.
I want to talk about the film “Before the storm”. It was written in 1884. The picture is written in oil. I was struck at the first glance by the surprisingly smooth transition of flowers. The foreground of the picture is greenish-yellow. In the rays of the sun, which have not yet been hidden by storm clouds, the grass does not seem green, but yellow.

The painting “Before the Thunderstorm” strikes with its beauty. It would seem that it draws well-known places. There is nothing unusual. But how beautiful is the native land, what an amazing modesty it combines with grace. Daisies in the right-hand corner of the picture, like teenagers, are slender, charming. The smooth surface of the river is like a mirror, in which coastal thickets were staring. What can be more beautiful than this? The native land is always nice. And recreated by the hand of the master, it becomes even more expensive.
