Russian artist Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin – one of the greatest masters of landscape painting. In his paintings he strove to convey the infinite diversity of the plant world as objectively as possible, accurately and completely. The artist created magnificent images of Russian nature. He tried to discover in all possible ways the greatness, beauty and originality of the Russian land.
The wonderful, vast expanses of the rich Russian nature appear before us in such works of Shishkin as “Forest Distances,” “On the River after the Rain,” “Rye,” and many others. At the same time, the author was able to emphasize the smallest details of the landscape: a felled tree, a lop-sided house on an apiary, a pine growing lonely on the northern expanses.
The main theme of his work was the image of the Russian forest. You can judge how vividly the artist’s works can be produced, according to the well-known painting “Morning in the Pine
Forest.” In the picture, in front of us, the morning forest appears in minute detail: the impenetrable pines are guarded by a thick wall, so that an uninvited guest does not penetrated into this amazing forest country, did not disturb her peace. There are trees stretching the branches of their magnificent crown to meet the first rays of the sun. As if brothers and sisters holding hands interlaid their branches with pine trees. This one of them slightly tilted its top, as if she did not want to wake up from a pleasant dream, in the center – a fallen tree, maybe it could not stand the mighty wind, or maybe the barrel just dried up from the age. She took her children out for a morning walk. And the cubs joyfully frolic on the fallen tree. Something caught their attention, and two kids are trying to figure out what exactly. But their brother is more interested in sunrise. Raising himself up on his hind legs, he tries to see where this wonderful light comes from, gradually filling the entire forest thicket. And the sun’s rays in the meantime have already flooded the entire forest in the background and make their
way to the bear family. And the whole picture, filled with this light, creates a feeling of joyful awakening of nature. And this feeling is intensified by a combination of light and shadow, masterfully transmitted by the author, through which he seeks to convey to us his feelings, his admiration for this beauty. what exactly.
