The classic description of Roerich's painting overseas guests. Composition based on the painting by Roerich “Overseas guests

01.07.2020

It is impossible to imagine the native Russian land without expanses of water. These are rivers, and lakes, and seas, and oceans. This theme occupies a large place for many artists in their work. For a long time, merchants transported their goods along the numerous rivers of Russia, people traveled. The painting "Overseas guests" shows one of the waterways of Russia. I read that this path leads to the Nizhny Novgorod lands.

The author in his picture showed overseas guests who arrived in our region. Two large boats cut through the water surface. Merchants carefully peer towards distant, unfamiliar shores. The artist very accurately and colorfully depicted all the details, all the decorations on the boats. He showed both the shields on the stern and the ornate carvings. Above the stern rises the head of a dragon.

The river surface is cut by oars. Only the movement of the boat disturbs the water peace. The water in the picture is very clear, azure blue. It is so crystal clear that you can see the stones at the bottom. White seagulls fly over the water. Perhaps the movement of the ships has frightened them, and they circle around them screaming. It seems that the clear, blue sky is reflected in the river, creating an even more vivid impression of the picture.

No one is visible on the beach. Only in the distance we see a small settlement. It is already difficult to surprise Russian people with something, because they are used to different guests, including warlike ones. Our compatriots have always been able to repulse ill-wishers and defend their independence. If the guests come in peace, they will receive a warm welcome. I think that the guests depicted in the picture arrived for peaceful purposes, not for enmity. The picture turned out to be very bright, the artist used saturated colors, showing both the beauty of nature and ships. The rook stands out as a bright spot against the background of emerald-colored water and attracts attention, forcing you to admire.

There are artists whose life bears the stamp of their unusual nature, original and original attitude to the world. Even a brief biography of Nicholas Konstantinovich Roerich resembles not just a fascinating story, but a whole novel. The Soviet art historian I. Petrov notes that he was "a wonderful painter, tireless traveler, passionate researcher, philosopher and poet. He lived in France and Switzerland, Belgium and Holland, England and Germany, Finland and the USA, China and Japan; traveled to Ceylon, the Philippines and Hong Kong, in recent years he lived in India."

Not only creativity, but also the bright personality of N. Roerich attracted people to him, even during his lifetime his fame became almost legendary. Roerich's paintings, numbering over 5,000, can be found in leading museums and art collections around the world. In Russia, perhaps, there is no museum or gallery that would not have several of his works. In some museums, entire halls are devoted exclusively to his paintings, and in his honor a 29-story building was erected in New York City in 1929. It seems that for the first time in history a whole museum was built for the masterpieces of one artist during his lifetime. One of the features of N. Roerich's art, which determined all the directions of his creative searches, was the desire to embody images of the distant, heroic past in painting, to penetrate the meaning of ancient legends, to convey all the poetic charm of folk life.

Kievan Rus, Viking raids, legends of the Ancient East attracted Roerich at the very beginning of his creative activity. Speaking in 1898-1899 at the St. Petersburg Archaeological Institute with a series of lectures "Artistic Technique as Applied to Archeology", he said: "In order for a historical picture to make an impression, it is necessary that it takes the viewer to a past era. For this, the artist must not invent and to fantasize, hoping for the unpreparedness of the audience, but in fact one must study ancient life as much as possible, imbue it, soak through and through.

The best example of such penetration into the past was the historical paintings of the great V. Surikov. But he dedicated his work to the events of the Muscovite kingdom of the 16th-17th centuries. And the historical layer that fascinated N. Roerich went back to the time of Kievan Rus and even further - right up to the Stone Age. History becomes for the artist a living part of folk life, the source of the national beginning in Russian art is for him the Russian people, who created amazingly beautiful poetic tales, songs, and artistic products. “When you look at ancient paintings, old tiles or ornaments, you think: “What a beautiful life it was! What strong people lived it! How vital and close to everyone was art ... "- exclaimed N. Roerich.

N. Roerich entered Russian art immediately as a mature master. He graduated from the Academy of Arts with a diploma painting "Messenger. Rise of clan against clan", which was warmly received by I. Repin and V. Surikov and acquired by P.M. Tretyakov. After the "Messenger", on the advice of I. Repin, N. Roerich leaves for Paris to the studio of the famous historical painter F. Korman.

The French artist immediately saw that in front of him was an already established master, and carefully treated his bright, original talent. When N. Roerich left France, his soul was already full of images of Ancient Rus'. Soon he creates a cycle of paintings called "The Beginning of Rus'. Slavs".

"Overseas guests" is one of the paintings of this cycle, written in 1901. She immediately received universal recognition, and the artist made several repetitions of her. The picture also has its own literary version in the short story written by N. Roerich in 1900. With apt, artistically accurate words, he describes floating boats, the prows of which are completed with painted carved dragons. On their sides, colorful shields sparkling in the sun, sails filled with wind, instill fear in enemies. Boats are sailing along the Neva and Volkhov, the Dnieper and Ilmen Lake - to Tsargrad itself. The Vikings go to bargain or to serve ...

Also in the picture, along the blue surface of the serene sea, painted Varangian boats are slowly moving towards the viewer. The patterned heads of griffin-dragons rise proudly, the steep sides of the ships are decorated with multi-colored shields, the scarlet sails glow against the background of the azure sky. With curiosity, the Vikings crowded at the stern peer into the distance opening before them.

The picture attracts with its colorful festivity. Open, intense tones create a feeling of joyful chime of bright colors. Red and blue, light blue and golden-brown colors in the decoration of ships, in nature and people's clothes resonate especially next to the whiteness of light clouds and the wings of seagulls flying over the sea. The picturesqueness of this picture opens before the viewer (as well as before the Varangians) a new, hitherto unknown country. And now we already recognize the pattern of folk ornaments and the festivity of ancient Russian art. In the memory of the audience, stories beloved from childhood come to life about people of bygone times, about a glorious life fanned by so many poetic legends. Beyond the brink of centuries, where true history merges with myth, and the fabulous turns into reality, these guests live, who came from a foreign country to look at Great Rus'.

Not only the boats and the Vikings in helmets sitting in them are historical, but also the landscape of nature itself. The wavy lines of green hills with rounded boulders remaining in some places are the result of the movement of glaciers, which smoothed out, softened the sharp reliefs of the northern landscape. Three mounds are visible on the top of one hill - these are the burial places of leaders. On the other, there is a Slavic town fortified with a tyn and towers, from where, perhaps, the inhabitants look at the flotilla not only with anxiety and excitement, but also with curiosity.

The skill of N. Roerich is amazing, with which he painted multi-colored plows illuminated by sunset rays and burning in the sun. The dense blue of the waves cut by ships laden with goods; green hills and walls of a hail rising in the distance; the pure blue of the sky, the joyful radiance of the morning sun - everything makes you believe in a wonderful fairy tale.

The picture is full of movement - slow and heavy in the smooth movement of the rooks, then noisy and light in the hubbub of seagulls and the swing of the oars. Motionless, as if sleeping hills only enhance the impression of the solemn arrival of guests.

But, peering into the picture, we will not find in it brightly and vividly painted faces, separate characters, peculiar individualities. The faces of the Vikings are barely visible, and the inhabitants of Russian cities are not visible at all. The Russian artist S. Makovsky noted: "People on Roerich's canvases have almost no faces. They are faceless ghosts of centuries. Like trees and animals, like quiet stones of dead villages, like monsters of antiquity, they are merged with the elements of life in the mists of the past. They - without a name... They do not exist separately and as if they never existed: as if before, long ago, in a clear life, they lived by a common thought and a common feeling, together with the trees, stones and monsters of antiquity.

On these canvases, shimmering with the dark luxury of ancient mosaics or flooded with pale waves of light, a person sometimes only imagines ... But semi-visible, invisible - he is everywhere.

Indeed, the image created in the painting "Overseas Guests" is not abstract. The sun shines uniquely in the waves and in the sails. The elegant Varangian ships have their own originality, the green coastal hills, houses and walls of a distant city have their own "face". In its silent buildings, in the sleepy slowness of the valleys and mountains, the dormant power of the country is felt.

The artist takes the viewer deep into the centuries, and he becomes an eyewitness to the vibrant pagan life of Ancient Rus'. And it is not individual heroes that stand before him, not an entertaining historical episode, but, as it were, re-read pages of annals

One of the most mysterious artists Nicholas Roerich was born on October 9th. During his life he created about seven thousand paintings. Roerich is called one of the brightest figures of Russian symbolism and modernism. Even a brief biography of the artist is like an amazing novel. He managed to travel almost the whole world. Roerich lived in France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, England, Finland, USA, China, traveled to Ceylon, the Philippines, and spent his last years in India. In the Russian period, the artist created the famous series of paintings “The Beginning of Rus'. Slavs". One of the most striking works of the series is the painting "Overseas guests".

Nicholas Roerich was interested in history and painting since childhood. His parents did not support his passion for art. His father was a notary and prepared his son for a legal career. Nevertheless, Nicholas Roerich simultaneously entered the law faculty of St. Petersburg University and the Imperial Academy of Arts. He studied in the studio of the artist Arkhip Kuindzhi. Roerich's graduation painting "Messenger (Rise of the People)" was immediately acquired by the collector Pavel Tretyakov.

Nicholas Roerich "Messenger (Clan Resurrected), 1897

After graduating from the Academy, Roerich worked a lot in the historical genre, he went on a big trip around Russia, visiting more than 40 cities. The artist studied the roots of Russian culture, historical monuments. During the trip, he created about 90 sketches and took photographs, which were included in the book of the artist Igor Grabar "History of Russian Art". Based on the impressions of this trip, Nicholas Roerich created the cycle “The Beginning of Rus'. Slavs". For a year he went to Paris to study painting in the studio of the artist F. Cormon. In France, the artist created the painting "Overseas guests" (oil on canvas 85x112.5).

Nicholas Roerich "Overseas guests", 1901

The painting "Overseas guests" immediately received universal recognition, the artist made several repetitions from it. Roerich said: “In order for a historical picture to make an impression, it is necessary that it takes the viewer to a past era. To do this, the artist must not invent and fantasize, hoping for the unpreparedness of the audience, but in fact it is necessary to study ancient life, as soon as possible, to be imbued with it, to be saturated through and through. At the exhibition at the Imperial Academy of Arts "Overseas guests" in 1902, Nicholas II acquired for the Tsarskoye Selo Palace. Now she is in the Tretyakov Gallery.

The picture has the author's title "Folk Painting", which recalls the motifs and colors of folk painting. The painting “Visitors from Overseas” contains symbols and elements that can be seen in icons or in the works of masters of applied art – boats, a combination of red, blue, and white. And at the same time, there is a certain decorative effect in the work, which reflects the Art Nouveau style. Not only the boats and the Vikings in helmets sitting in them are historical, but also the landscape of nature itself. Three mounds are visible on the top of one hill - these are the burial places of leaders. On the other - a fortified Slavic town. Nicholas Roerich admired the history of Ancient Rus', he said: “When you look at ancient paintings, old tiles or ornaments, you think: “What a beautiful life it was! What strong people lived it! How vital and close to everyone was art…”.

Roerich was not only a master of painting, but also of words. The painting “Visitors Overseas” has a very poetic description given by the artist: “Midnight guests are floating. A light stripe stretches the gentle coast of the Gulf of Finland. The water seemed to be saturated with the blue of a clear spring sky; the wind ripples along it, driving off dull purple stripes and circles. A flock of seagulls landed on the waves, carelessly swayed on them, and only under the very keel of the front boat flashed their wings.<…>. The rooks go in a long row! Bright coloring burns in the sun. The bow sides famously wrapped up, culminating in a high, slender nose.

The picture has one more feature - the artist did not depict a clear face in any of the characters. This characteristic feature is also found in many other works of Nicholas Roerich. About this feature, the artist Sergei Makovsky said the following: “People on Roerich's canvases have almost no faces. They are the faceless ghosts of centuries. Like trees and animals, like quiet stones of dead villages, like monsters of antiquity, they are merged with the elements of life in the mists of the past. They are without a name ... They are not separate, and as if they never existed: as if before, long ago, in a clear life, they lived by a common thought and a common feeling, together with the trees, stones and monsters of antiquity.

Sonorous, contrasting colors add up to a bright mosaic that takes viewers to the distant world of Ancient Rus'. The picture "Overseas guests" is considered by art historians to be one of the most powerful works of the artist.

Five interesting facts about Nicholas Roerich

1 . Until 1917 Nicholas Roerich lived in Russia. During this period, he was engaged in archeology, collecting, designing and painting churches, participated in projects for the revival of Russian antiquity. The artist also actively worked as a set designer. He created scenery and costumes for theatrical performances, several productions of Sergei Diaghilev's Russian Seasons. One of his most famous theatrical works is the ballet The Rite of Spring to the music of Igor Stravinsky.

2. During the February Revolution, the Roerich family was in Finland, which closed the borders with Russia. So in 1917, Nicholas Roerich with his wife Elena and two sons was cut off from their homeland. Some of the paintings he managed to take out. In Finland, Roerich creates paintings dedicated to Karelia, writes part of the future poetry collection "Flowers of Moria". In 1918, the artist moved to Sweden, then to London, hoping to fulfill his old dream - a trip to India. However, due to financial difficulties, the trip had to be postponed.

3. Nicholas Roerich was the first Russian artist who was offered an exhibition in 30 US cities at once. This large-scale three-year tour was organized by the Art Institute of Chicago. Nicholas Roerich and his family moved to New York in 1920, where his first solo exhibition opened. Further, his exhibitions were held in Chicago, San Francisco, Boston and other cities and were a great success. In the USA, Roerich finds both new students and financial support. The artist's undertakings were sponsored by broker Louis Horch. He also found money for Roerich's trip to India, where the artist and his family went in 1923. With the assistance of Horsch, the Roerich Museum was opened in New York in 1929. Why was built a 29-storey skyscraper Master Building in Art Deco style. In addition to the museum, the building housed the Institute of United Arts Masters and the Apparatus Hotel. True, in 1938, Horsch, after scandals with the artist, completely took over the building.

4 . From the 1920s to the 1940s, the main theme in the work of Nicholas Roerich was the East. He created the series "Teachers of the East", a series about the images of women "Mother of the World", painted pictures consecrated to nature, mountains. His art was dominated by philosophical searches. Together with his wife Helena Roerich, the artist promoted the spiritual teachings of Agni Yogi or "Living Ethics". The idea of ​​the teaching is that the meaning of human evolution is spiritual perfection. And the most important factor in the manifestation of the human spirit on Earth is culture, therefore, according to Roerich, the preservation and promotion of the spiritual values ​​of culture is the main task of society.

Nicholas Roerich "Teacher's Testament", 1947

Nicholas Roerich died in Kulu on December 13, 1947. The artist bequeathed to bury himself according to Indian custom. Roerich's philosophical undertakings were continued by his sons, the orientalist Yuri Roerich and the artist Svyatoslav Roerich.

5. In the collection of the Voronezh Museum. I. N. Kramskoy has two monumental expositions by Nicholas Roerich “Morning of the Princes of Hunting” (oil on canvas, 1901). The plot motif in this work is merged with the landscape, which sets a special, "historical" mood.

Nicholas Roerich "Morning of the princes of hunting", 1901

The material uses data from the book "One Hundred Great Pictures" by N. A. Ionin.

On his canvas "Overseas guests", the artist depicted a caravan of ships. These are boats that sailed to Russian lands on some business of their own. The viewer can only guess whether the merchants brought the goods or the ambassadors arrived.

But it can be determined that the mission of overseas guests is peaceful, because there are no weapons in the hands of people. And the Russian wooden fortress on the hill looks quite friendly. However, in those distant times, the world could very quickly change into war, but the rooks are adapted for battle. We see shields on their sides and a military helmet on the head of one of the guests. Just like on the walls of the fortress, its defenders can rise at any moment.

Judging by the modest vegetation on the banks, it can be assumed that ships pass along one of the northern rivers. And the way to another place among the Normans (and it is their ships that the viewer sees in the picture) would take too much time. From the course of history, we know that this northern people did not go on too long journeys, due to the fact that their ships were small in size.

Nikolai Konstantinovich did not spare colors to depict the ship in detail. Multi-colored sails give it even some kind of festive look. As well as the numerous carvings on the sides, and the skillfully executed dragon's head. All this tells the audience that the boat in front of them is not ordinary warriors.

A fair wind blows, filling the sails. Large breakers at the bow of the boat indicate that the ship is moving quite quickly.

Roerich also depicted nature masterfully. Green grass on the hills, unusually clear water in which the ship is reflected, seagulls flying low ahead of the first boat. Despite the military appearance of the ship, the whole atmosphere is imbued with peace. Here are the people talking peacefully on board, and the city, on the walls of which you can not see restlessly fussing people. And even seagulls behave calmly. They just escort the ship. Maybe from curiosity, or maybe from an excess of hospitality.

The Russian land has always been famous for its good, peaceful relations with its neighbors. Of course, if overseas guests came in peace.

Addition

This is what the viewer sees, who admires this picture for the first time. The viewer who has not yet delved into the history of its creation. But Roerich himself told a lot about this work of his. The artist, in one of the articles he wrote, claimed that he depicted the famous path "from the Varangians to the Greeks." That the painting depicts Viking ships.

The viewer will also be interested to know the fact that while painting the picture, the artist studied the folk popular print technique. This was reflected in the color palette that Roerich chose for his canvas, in the manner of painting.

The painting was painted in 1901, and Tsar Nicholas II acquired it at the exhibition. Today, everyone can see this work in the State Tretyakov Gallery.

The plot of this work was born by the artist during a trip to Novgorod on the way "from the Varangians to the Greeks" (The trade route "from the Varangians to the Greeks"). This ancient trade route existed about 1000 years ago and passed along the main roads of that time through the Dvina Dnieper River, connecting the Varangian Sea (Baltic) with the Russian Sea (Black). The route passed through our Slavic lands, which they called White Russia, on this way foreigners met such ancient Russian cities as Veliky Novgorod and Kyiv. This important trade branch was mastered by the Scandinavian Vikings. (vikings) whose purpose was to get to Constantinople, the capital of Byzantium,

the world's largest shopping center.
