The work on the painting āGolden Autumnā can be started with the argument that a rare artist, especially the Russian school of painting, did not capture this graceful time of the year sung by A. Pushkin in his canvases. It is impossible to find words that more accurately and beautifully speak of Russian autumn.
The uniqueness of Russian nature
Itās Russian, because on the territory of only our country, deciduous trees with conifers are so harmoniously combined, which makes the palette so diverse, in which there are crimson, and gold, and greens.
Canada is also at the same latitude as Russia, and there are many maples in it, especially beautiful maples in the fall, but, as another poet testifies, āitās still not Russia.ā In our country, probably, there is not a single person who would not write an essay in the school painting āGolden Autumnā at school. Perhaps only the names of the artists differed - in some years it could be I. Levitan or I. Shishkin, in some - V. Polenov or I. Brodsky.
One of many
All the canvases of famous Russian artists singing this season are recognizable. They differ from similar works of world painting, probably in the fact that in each of them, whether it is a view of a river from a mountain or a small forest pond, the vast expanses of our country are felt. It is unfortunate that the essay on the painting āGolden Autumnā is not written on the canvas by Efim Volkov (1844-1920), which depicts a quiet forest river with swampy shores and a lot of yellowed birches, which, bending from both banks, joined by crowns. Wonderful picture.
"It's a great time ..."
Russian autumn landscapes are characterized by the fact that they do not make you sad - the wilting nature is magnificent on them, as A. Pushkin said, and when late autumn is depicted in the picture, nothing more can be said about it than ācharm eyesā.
Golden autumn in the paintings of domestic artists can only be compared with the beautiful poems of Russian poets dedicated to this time, and the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky from The Seasons. If you look at a retrospective of autumn landscapes to this music, then the viewer feels a pinching happiness.
Singer of Russian nature
The pictures are endless, itās hard to choose the best, you can only dwell on the individual. The painting āGolden Autumnā by Polenov (1844-1927) was painted in 1893. The canvas depicts a specific place - the vicinity of the village of Bekhovo, which the artist bought in 1890. It is located on the high bank of the Oka. The city dweller V. Polenov enjoyed the beauty of Russian nature here. Once, in September, a landscape of extraordinary beauty opened before him. September, immortalized on this canvas, is generally a beautiful season. The sweltering heat was asleep, the time for rains was still far away, all the leaves on the trees are whole, only on the birches that turn yellow early, they changed color. In an almost standing river, banks are clearly reflected, leaving in the direction of the spectacle mountains. Often the air in such paintings is called crystal. And what else to call him? The horizon is infinitely far. On the left you can see the bend of the river, the sand on which is a soft yellow color against a background of darker trees. Silence and grace - the moment of absolute happiness is captured on the canvas. The painting āGolden Autumnā by Polenov, 77x124 cm in size, is stored in the museum-reserve of his name.
Pride for Russia needs to be instilled in childhood
The composition of the painting āGolden Autumnā makes students not only get acquainted with the masterpieces of Russian painting, but also feel their involvement in this incomparable beauty.
Preparing for an essay, looking through landscapes, the child learns not only to love Russian nature, but also to feel pride in its only in the world and unique beauty, learns to admire the geniuses of painting, poetry, music, which were able to convey the perfection of the environment, and express their love to motherland.
