We love the Russian landscape! We love Russian landscape paintings!

The Russian landscape as a genre was formed at the end of the 18th century. It took decades and the efforts of many masters for this genre of painting to become as significant as a historical painting or portrait. The pioneers of the landscape genre were artists who studied in Europe - Semyon Shchedrin, Fyodor Matveev, Fyodor Alekseev.

In the romantic art of the first half of the 19th century, the role of the landscape becomes more prominent. The so-called "Russian Italians" - pensioners of the Russian Academy of Arts - Sylvester Shchedrin, Mikhail Lebedev, Alexander Ivanov picked up the pan-European artistic principles of depicting nature.

In the second half of the 19th century, in the works of the Wanderers, the image of nature reaches the highest skill. Diverse and rich landscape painting has become a reflection of the deep love of painters for their native land. At the same time, some were fascinated by lyrical motifs, others by epic motifs, and still others by the search for a generalized image, the colorfulness and decorativeness of the landscape. Winter in Russian painting is so closely connected with the “holy sixties” that the 70s that begin with Savrasov’s “Rooks” seem to be a short spring, the Repin-impressionist 80s seem like an unexpected summer, and the farewell 90s, symbolist Vrubel-Levitan, seem like a long autumn Russian landscape.

In the 60s of the nineteenth century, a period of formation of realistic landscape painting began in Russia. The main role for landscape painters was acquired by the question of the content of art. Motivated by high patriotic feelings, they sought to show the mighty and fertile Russian nature as a source of possible wealth and happiness. At this time, individual works of landscape painters could already boldly stand in line with the paintings of genre painting, which at that time was the most advanced art. A serious contribution to the development of the Russian landscape was made by such famous artists as Alexei Savrasov, Ivan Shishkin, Fyodor Vasiliev, Arkhip Kuindzhi, Vasily Polenov, Isaac Levitan.

An important step in the Russian landscape of the second half of the 19th century was the resurrection in it of the ideals of romantic painting in the general mainstream of realistic tendencies. Vasiliev and Kuindzhi, each in their own way, turned to nature as the ideal of romantic painting, in the opportunity to pour out their feelings.

In the evolution of the domestic landscape, the most important role was played by impressionism, through which almost all serious painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries went through.

In the artistic life of Russia at the beginning of the 20th century, the artistic group "Union of Russian Artists" also played a significant role. It included artists Konstantin Korovin, Abram Arkhipov, Sergei Vinogradov, Konstantin Yuon and others. The main genre in the work of these artists was the landscape. They were the successors of landscape painting in the second half of the 19th century.

Nikolai Krymov and Viktor Borisov-Musatov created their landscapes in the spirit of symbolist art.

In the 1920s and 1930s, neo-academic trends began to develop in art. These views were held by Nikolai Dormidontov, Semyon Pavlov.

Some artists stubbornly continued to develop the traditions laid down in the 19th century. Among them - Alexander Dreven, Morozov. Others have offered a new look at the artistic heritage of the last century. Boris Kustodiev, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin developed their own vision of their native nature.

The first decade of the twentieth century passed under the motto of the most daring search for new expressive means in painting. Kazimir Malevich, Natalya Goncharova found new forms, new colors, new expressive means for conveying the landscape.

Soviet realism continued the traditions of the classical Russian landscape. Arkady Plastov, Vyacheslav Zagonek, the Tkachev brothers looked at their native nature attentively and with optimism.

The Russian landscape has evolved throughout its life from classicism to symbolism, including a romantic and expressive landscape. The exhibition showed all the main stages in the development of this genre.

Landscape is one of the genres of painting. Russian landscape is a very important genre for both Russian art and Russian culture in general. The landscape depicts nature. Natural landscapes, natural spaces. The landscape reflects the perception of nature by man.

Russian landscape in the 17th century

Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness

The first building blocks for the development of landscape painting were laid by icons, the background of which was, in fact, landscapes. In the 17th century, the masters began to move away from icon-painting canons and try something new. It was from this time that painting ceased to "stand still" and began to develop.

Russian landscape in the 18th century

M.I. Maheev

In the 18th century, when Russian art joins the European art system, the landscape in Russian art becomes an independent genre. But at this time it is aimed at fixing the reality that surrounded the person. There were no cameras yet, but the desire to capture significant events or works of architecture was already strong. The first landscapes, as an independent genre in art, were topographical views of St. Petersburg, Moscow, palaces and parks.

F.M. Matveev. Italian landscape

At the beginning of the 19th century, Russian artists painted mainly Italy. Italy was considered the birthplace of art and creativity. Artists study abroad, imitate the manner of foreign masters. Russian nature is considered inexpressive, boring, therefore even native Russian artists paint foreign nature, preferring it as more interesting and artistic. Foreigners are warmly welcomed in Russia: painters, dance and fencing teachers. Russian high society speaks French. Russian young ladies are trained by French governesses. Everything foreign is considered a sign of high society, a sign of education and upbringing, and manifestations of Russian national culture are a sign of bad taste and rudeness. In the famous opera P.I. Tchaikovsky, based on the immortal story by A.S. Pushkin's "The Queen of Spades", the French governess scolds Princess Lisa for dancing "in Russian", it was a shame for a lady from high society.

Russian landscape in the middle of the 19th century

In the middle of the 19th century, the Russian intelligentsia and artists in particular began to think about the underestimation of Russian culture. Two opposite directions appear in Russian society: Westernizers and Slavophiles. The Westerners believed that Russia was part of the global history and excluded its national identity, while the Slavophiles believed that Russia was a special country, rich in culture and history. The Slavophiles believed that the path of development of Russia should be fundamentally different from the European one, that Russian culture and Russian nature were worthy of being described in literature, portrayed on canvases, and captured in musical works.

Below will be presented paintings, which will depict the landscapes of the Russian land. For ease of perception, the paintings will be listed not in chronological order and not by authors, but by the seasons to which the paintings can be attributed.

Spring in the Russian landscape

Savrasov. The Rooks Have Arrived

Russian landscape. Savrasov "The Rooks Have Arrived"

Usually, spiritual uplift, expectation of joy, sun and warmth are associated with spring. But, in Savrasov’s painting “The Rooks Have Arrived”, we do not see the sun or heat, and even the temple domes are painted in gray, as if still unawakened colors.

Spring in Russia often begins with timid steps. The snow is melting, and the sky and trees are reflected in the puddles. Rooks are busy with their rook business - they build nests. The gnarled and bare trunks of birch trees become thinner, rising to the sky, as if reaching for it, gradually coming to life. The sky, at first glance gray, is filled with shades of blue, and the edges of the clouds are slightly lightened, as if the rays of the sun are peeping through.

At first glance, the picture can make a gloomy impression, and not everyone can feel the joy and triumph that the artist put into it. This painting was first presented at the first exhibition of the association of the Wanderers in 1871. And in the catalog of this exhibition it was called "The Rooks Have Arrived!" there was an exclamation point at the end of the name. And this joy, which is only expected, which is not yet in the picture, was expressed precisely by this exclamation point. Savrasov, even in the title itself, tried to convey the elusive joy of waiting for spring. Over time, the exclamation mark was lost and the picture became simply called "The Rooks Have Arrived."

It is this picture that begins the assertion of landscape painting as an equal, and in some periods the leading genre of Russian painting.

I. Levitan. March

Russian landscape. I. Levitan. March

March is a very dangerous month - on the one hand, the sun seems to be shining, but on the other, it can be very cold and dank.

This spring of air filled with light. Here, the joy of the arrival of spring is already more clearly felt. It is still as if it is not visible, it is only in the title of the picture. But, if you look closely, you can feel the warmth of the wall, warmed by the sun.

Blue, saturated, sonorous shadows not only from trees and their trunks, but also shadows in the snow ruts along which a person walked

M. Claude. On arable land

Russian landscape. M. Claude. On arable land

In the painting by Mikhail Claude, a person (unlike a modern urban dweller) lives in the same rhythm with nature. Nature sets the rhythm of life for a person who lives on earth. In the spring, a person plows this land, in the fall, he harvests. The foal in the picture is like a continuation of life.

Russian nature is characterized by flatness - you rarely see mountains or hills here. And this lack of tension and pathos Gogol amazingly accurately characterized as "the indissolubility of Russian nature." It was this “continuity” that Russian landscape painters of the 19th century sought to convey in their paintings.

Summer in the Russian landscape

Palenov. Moscow courtyard

Russian landscape. Palenov "Moscow courtyard"

One of the most charming pictures in Russian painting. Business card of Polenov. This is an urban landscape in which we see the ordinary life of Moscow boys and girls. Even the artist himself does not always understand the significance of his work. Here is depicted both a city estate and an already collapsed barn and children, a horse, and above all this we see a church. Here and the peasantry and the nobility and children and work and the Temple - all the signs of Russian life. The whole picture is permeated with air, sun and light - that's why it is so attractive and so pleasant to look at. The painting "Moscow Yard" warms the soul with its warmth and simplicity.

US Ambassador's Spass House

Today, on Spaso-Peskovsky Lane, on the site of the courtyard depicted by Palenov, there is the residence of the American ambassador Spass House.

I. Shishkin. Rye

Russian landscape. I. Shishkin. Rye

The life of a Russian person in the 19th century was closely connected with the rhythms of the life of nature: sowing grain, cultivating, harvesting. In Russian nature there is breadth and space. Artists try to convey this in their paintings.

Shishkin is called the "king of the forest", because he has most of all forest landscapes. And here we see a flat landscape with a sown rye field. At the very edge of the picture, the road begins, and, winding, runs among the fields. In the depths of the road, among the tall rye, we see peasant heads in red scarves. In the background, mighty pine trees are depicted, which, like giants, are striding through this field, on some we see signs of wilting. This is the life of nature - old trees wither, new ones appear. Overhead, the sky is very clear, and closer to the horizon, clouds begin to gather. A few minutes will pass and the clouds will move closer to the leading edge and it will rain. We are also reminded of this by birds that fly low above the ground - they are nailed there by air and atmosphere.

Initially, Shishkin wanted to call this painting "Motherland". While writing this picture, Shishkin thought about the image of the Russian land. But then he left this name so that there would be no unnecessary pathos. Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin loved simplicity and naturalness, believing that it was in simplicity that the truth of life was.

Autumn in the Russian landscape

Efimov-Volkov. October

Russian landscape. Efimov-Volkov. "October"

"There is in the autumn of the original ..."

Fedor Tyutchev

Is in the autumn of the original
Short but wonderful time -
The whole day stands as if crystal,
And radiant evenings ...

Where a peppy sickle walked and an ear fell,
Now everything is empty - space is everywhere -
Only cobwebs of thin hair
Shines on an idle furrow.

The air is empty, the birds are no longer heard,
But far from the first winter storms -
And pure and warm azure pours
On the resting field…

Efimov-Volkov's painting "October" conveys the lyrics of autumn. In the foreground of the picture is a young birch grove painted with great love. Fragile birch trunks and brown earth covered with autumn leaves.

L. Kamenev. Winter road

Russian landscape. L. Kamenev . "Winter road"

In the picture, the artist depicted an endless expanse of snow, a winter road along which a horse drags firewood with difficulty. A village and a forest can be seen in the distance. No sun, no moon, just a dull twilight. In the image of L. Kamenev, the road is covered with snow, few people drive along it, it leads to a village covered with snow, where there is no light in any window. The picture creates a dreary and sad mood.

I. Shishkin. In the wild north

M.Yu.Lermontov
"In the Wild North"
Stands alone in the wild north
On the bare top of a pine tree,
And dozing, swaying, and loose snow
She is dressed like a robe.

And she dreams of everything that is in the distant desert,
In the region where the sun rises
Alone and sad on a rock with fuel
A beautiful palm tree is growing.

I. Shishkin. "In the Wild North"

Shishkin's painting is an artistic embodiment of the motive of loneliness, sung by Lermontov in the poetic work "Pine".

I took a lesson on this article in high school. The children guessed the authors of the poems and the names of the paintings. Judging by their answers, schoolchildren know literature much better than art)))

Landscape occupies a special place in the fine arts of Russia. The name appeared thanks to the French word pays - locality. Oil landscapes are images of nature in its natural or slightly modified state.

For the first time, landscape motifs appeared in ancient Russian icon painting. Independent landscapes of nature, which are types of palace parks, begin to appear in Russia in the 18th century. During the reign of Elizabeth Petrovna, the art of painting was actively developing, the first collection of engravings with views of St. Petersburg was published, where landscape images were also found.

The heyday of the landscape begins with the appearance of Semyon Fedorovich Shchedrin, who is rightfully called the founder of Russian landscape painting. The artist's biography includes several years of study abroad, where Shchedrin studied the basics of classicism, which were later reflected in his work.

Subsequently, other Russian landscape painters appeared: Fedor Alekseev - the founder of the urban landscape, Fedor Matveev - a master of landscapes in the best traditions of classicism.

The genres of fine arts in the second half of the 19th century were enriched with new directions. Landscape paintings created in different directions were presented by famous artists: Ivan Aivazovsky (romanticism), Ivan Shishkin (realism), Viktor Vasnetsov (fabulous-epic direction), Mikhail Klodt (epic landscapes) and other recognized masters of painting.

By the middle of the 19th century, Russian painting “asserts” the plein air as an artistic technique that allows you to create beautiful landscapes. In its subsequent formation, a significant role was played by the development of impressionism, which significantly influenced the work of landscape painters. At the same time, a separate idea of ​​"natural" perception is being formed - a lyrical landscape. In this direction, landscapes were made by artists: Alexei Savrasov, Arkhip Kuindzhi, Mikhail Nesterov.

Landscape oil painting of the 19th century reached its true heyday in the works of Isaac Levitan. The artist's painting is filled with a calm, piercingly poignant mood. The exhibition of the artist has always been a significant event in the art world, gathering a lot of visitors in all cities of Russia.

By the beginning of the 20th century, the "Union of Russian Artists" was formed, founded on the initiative of Konstantin Yuon, Abram Arkhipov and Igor Grabar. The main areas of creativity and many paintings of artists are characterized by love for the Russian landscape, both natural and urban.

Other types of fine arts are also developing - an active search is underway for alternative expressive means for landscape painting. Vivid representatives of the new trends are: Kazimir Malevich (avant-garde, autumn landscape "Red Cavalry Galloping"), Nikolai Krymov (symbolism, winter landscape "Winter Evening"), Nikolai Dormidontov (neo-academism).

In the 1930s, the fine arts in the USSR were enriched with landscape socialist realism. One of its main representatives is George Nyssa and the work "Boys running out of the water." The onset of the “thaw” in the second half of the 1950s led to the restoration of the diversity of the “picturesque” language, which has been preserved in modern schools.

The majestic and diverse Russian painting always pleases the audience with its inconstancy and perfection of art forms. This is the peculiarity of the works of famous masters of art. They always surprised with their unusual approach to work, reverent attitude to the feelings and sensations of each person. Perhaps that is why Russian artists so often depicted portrait compositions that vividly combined emotional images and epicly calm motifs. No wonder Maxim Gorky once said that an artist is the heart of his country, the voice of the entire era. Indeed, the majestic and elegant paintings of Russian artists vividly convey the inspiration of their time. Like the aspirations of the famous author Anton Chekhov, many sought to bring into Russian paintings the unique flavor of their people, as well as the unquenchable dream of beauty. It is difficult to underestimate the extraordinary canvases of these masters of majestic art, because truly extraordinary works of various genres were born under their brush. Academic painting, portrait, historical painting, landscape, works of romanticism, modernism or symbolism - all of them still bring joy and inspiration to their viewers. Everyone finds in them something more than colorful colors, graceful lines and inimitable genres of world art. Perhaps such an abundance of forms and images that Russian painting surprises with is connected with the huge potential of the surrounding world of artists. Levitan also said that in every note of lush nature there is a majestic and unusual palette of colors. With such a beginning, a magnificent expanse appears for the artist's brush. Therefore, all Russian paintings are distinguished by their exquisite severity and attractive beauty, from which it is so difficult to break away.

Russian painting is rightly distinguished from world art. The fact is that until the seventeenth century, domestic painting was associated exclusively with a religious theme. The situation changed with the coming to power of the tsar-reformer - Peter the Great. Thanks to his reforms, Russian masters began to engage in secular painting, and icon painting separated as a separate direction. The seventeenth century is the time of such artists as Simon Ushakov and Iosif Vladimirov. Then, in the Russian art world, the portrait was born and quickly became popular. In the eighteenth century, the first artists appeared who switched from portraiture to landscape painting. The pronounced sympathy of the masters for winter panoramas is noticeable. The eighteenth century was also remembered for the birth of everyday painting. In the nineteenth century, three trends gained popularity in Russia: romanticism, realism and classicism. As before, Russian artists continued to turn to the portrait genre. It was then that world-famous portraits and self-portraits of O. Kiprensky and V. Tropinin appeared. In the second half of the nineteenth century, artists more and more often depict the simple Russian people in their oppressed state. Realism becomes the central trend of painting of this period. It was then that the Wanderers appeared, depicting only real, real life. Well, the twentieth century is, of course, the avant-garde. The artists of that time significantly influenced both their followers in Russia and around the world. Their paintings became the forerunners of abstractionism. Russian painting is a huge wonderful world of talented artists who glorified Russia with their creations
