Composition based on the painting by A. A. Rylov “Green Noise”
The outstanding Russian artist Arkady Aleksandrovich Rylov was born in 1870. The artist spent his childhood and youth in the north, in Vyatka. A wide river carried its waters here, there were many forests and lakes. The beauty and harmony of nature delighted the young man. He wandered through the forest for a long time, observing the beauty and splendor of the surrounding world. Rylov studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, studied in the workshop of the famous landscape painter Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi.
It was Kuindzhi who had a significant influence on the formation of the personality and worldview of the young artist. In the works that were written by Rylov after graduation, there was a charm of the northern forest nature. These were “mood landscapes” characteristic of the work of many artists.
The talented Russian artist Mikhail Vasilyevich Nesterov described Rylov as follows: “The beauty of Rylov’s paintings lay in their inner and outer beauty, in their “musicality”, in quiet, caressing, or spontaneous, stormy experiences of nature. Its mysterious forests with the noises of their forest dwellers breathe, live a special, enchanting life. Its seas, rivers, lakes, a clear sky promising a “bucket” for tomorrow, or a sky with clouds rushing somewhere - promises trouble - everything, everything is in action with Rylov, everything is dynamic - the joy of life replaces its drama. The dark forest is full of anxiety, the stormy banks of the Kama, perhaps, bring death to someone. We experience the autumn flight of birds over distant seas as a personal loss of clear days. Everything with Rylov is full of meaning, and he is nowhere, in any way, indifferent to the meaning, to the ongoing mysteries of nature and its inhabitants. He sings, glorifies and magnifies the Motherland ... Rylov is not just a "landscape painter", he, like Vasiliev, like Levitan, is a deep soulful poet. He is dear to us, he is dear to us, because nature releases Rylovs very, very sparingly ... "
During his life, Arkady Alexandrovich Rylov created many amazing paintings. But the most famous of them are the landscapes "Green Noise" and "In the Blue Space".
The painting "Green Noise" was painted in 1904. A. A. Rylov worked on this work for two years. While working, the artist used the experience of observing nature, as well as sketches that he made in the vicinity of St. Petersburg and Vyatka. Three copies of this painting were created. The first is in the Russian Museum, the second - in Moscow, in the Tretyakov Gallery. The third copy is in the Museum of Russian Art in Kyiv.
The picture attracted the attention of the audience with a riot of fresh bright colors. The artist depicted the forest in all its splendor. The artist himself wrote in his memoirs: “I worked very hard on this motive, recomposing and rewriting everything several times, trying to convey the feeling of the cheerful noise of birches, of the wide expanse of the river. I lived in the summer on the steep, high bank of the Vyatka, under the windows the birches rustled all day long, dying down only in the evening; a wide river flowed; one could see distances with lakes and forests. From there I went to the estate to the student. There, the alley of old birches, going from the house to the field, was also always noisy. I loved to walk on it and write and draw these birches. When I arrived in St. Petersburg, I had this “green noise” in my ears ... "
The story of how the title was given to the painting is very interesting. When the work was ready, Rylov showed it to the famous artists Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi and Konstantin Fedorovich Bogaevsky.
And when Bogaevsky first saw the picture, he began to recite Nekrasov's poem "Green Noise". So the picture was given the name "Green Noise". In fact, Nekrasov's lines fit this canvas in the best possible way.
The Green Noise is coming,
Green Noise, spring noise!
Effortlessly disperses Suddenly the wind is riding:
Shakes alder bushes,
Raise flower dust
Like a cloud, everything is green
Both air and water!
The Green Noise is coming,
Green Noise, spring noise!
Once the artist K. F. Bogaevsky jokingly said about the work: “The picture was painted by Arkady Aleksandrovich Rylov, and “Green Noise” is my invention.”
When we look at Rylov's painting, we get the impression that we are standing on a hill, and a river opens before us, on which boats with sails. There are many trees near the river. The day is clear and windy. The sky is clear, pale blue, with multi-colored clouds on it. They are illuminated by the sun's rays, so the clouds become white, pink, purple.
The foliage of the trees is also illuminated by the sun's rays. She shines and shimmers. It seems that the foliage moves, lives, trembles under the gusts of wind. Nature in the picture looks strong, alive and very harmonious. Strong winds make trees bend. It seems as if we hear the howling of the wind. Young birches look so fragile and defenseless. They are about to fly wherever the wind takes them. Mature trees look stronger. They have been standing for more than a dozen years, they are strong and powerful. The wind is not afraid of them.
Small boats rush along the wide dark blue river. The wind inflates the sails, and the boats rush somewhere into the distance. They seem so light and weightless.
The undoubted merit of the artist is that he was able to show the poetry and beauty of the most ordinary pictures of nature. You need to have a real talent as a painter in order to see and realize the harmony and splendor of landscapes. Impressions that go unnoticed by most people are of great importance for a true artist.
Composition based on the painting by Rylov “Green Noise”
1. Artist.
3. Boat with people.
4. Background.
5. My impression.
The artist N.Romandin is a famous Russian landscape painter, who is characterized by a gentle, lyrical image of his native northern nature. Small forests, rivers and lakes, modest copses - all this resembles a quiet, drawn-out folk song.
The painting "Kerzhenets" depicts a river overgrown with willows. Bent over the water, the willows seem to be admiring the yellow spring fluffs on their branches. The river, apparently, has overflowed, and many trees are now standing, immersed in water “up to their waists”.
Looking at the picture, at first you notice modest colors, like small splashes of yellow, greenish, blue, purple colors, and only then you realize that there are people in the picture. They are fishermen on a boat. One person sits, dismantling tackle, and the other rows, standing on the stern. The surface of the river shimmers with different fuzzy colors, reflecting the dim sky and dark banks. The boat glides, almost without disturbing the water, a slightly noticeable lighter trail stretches behind it.
In the background of the picture we see the other shore, covered with forest. Weak, thin and crooked Christmas trees and birches stand there, also partly in the water. Birch branches are cast in purple, creating a feeling of something extraordinary, magical, like in an old fairy tale.
The magical coloring of the picture in pale tones of blue, purple, brownish and yellow sparks of willow flowers that seem to have splashed from the brush create an indistinct feeling of peace and slight sadness with an admixture of quiet joy from the expectation of the coming spring.
I liked this picture because I love spring very much, and the feelings that the artist wants to convey are close to me. It even seems to me that I once saw something similar, just like that, sailing on a boat along a flooded river surrounded by undergrowth.
Each painter, having left his contribution to art, taught his admirers to love and understand beauty. An important role in this is assigned to A.A. Rylov. His brush belongs to a wonderful canvas - "Green Noise". The title of this work alone says that what we have before us is not a frozen landscape, but a living nature filled with meaning. You can plunge into it to feel very real emotions. How to do it? It is enough just to carefully consider the picture.
Someone might ask: “Can the noise be green? Then why is it not red, not blue? And why does it have to be colored? Should not! Of course, the noise should not be multi-colored! But he is exactly like that in the picture of A.A. Rylov. Take a closer look and you will "see" it! You will see how the wind rustles in the trees, like birch trees, waving their branches like wings, trying to take off and fly away into the distance. Trees beg their roots to let them go, they ask, and even sing songs to them. But tenacious rhizomes stubbornly prevent the giants from fluttering. And the sky is calling! Each cloud that flies like a fragile feather over the trees waves them and beckons them to forget everything and take flight.
In Rylov's painting, not only trees and fluffy clouds are inspired, but also the background, in which blue fields and blue distance, are also full of expressiveness. This painter conveys in colorful colors. Expression is immediately felt, excitement and vivid emotions immediately awaken. The canvas will not leave anyone indifferent, it is ready to give everyone the depth with which the artist felt nature. And the viewer involuntarily adopts it. He, hearing the noise of green branches, becomes a participant in the action.
Composition based on the painting "Green Noise" by A.A. Rylov
Arkady Rylov - an outstanding Russian landscape painter was born in 1870. His canvases surprise with their mood and beauty, thereby delighting not only the audience, but also the performer himself. Rylov was born on the road (his parents were heading to Vyatka) and lived most of his life in the North and lovingly put all the beauty of those places into his paintings, and the painting “Green Noise”, on which he worked for two whole years, glorified the artist. He conveyed not only the incredible beauty of his native places, but also the sound, character, harmony and thoughts. In 1904, three copies were already created, and all of them are in Russian museums.
The first thing that catches your eye when looking at this masterpiece is the brightness, brilliance, saturation. The clear blue sky, adorned with snow-white clouds, gives contrast to the dark green trees and the blue of the water. The picture with all its appearance conveys life and youth, despite the trees depicted, which are not a single dozen years old.
The author painted a wonderful landscape of a sunny day. The view opens from above, from the mountain, on which large mighty trees grow, and below a wide winding river flows, and white sailboats float along it. Due to the indistinct images of grass and tree crowns, it is clear that a strong wind is blowing with all its might bending the branches, creating noise.
Looking at the picture, one gets the impression that I am in that clearing and look at the real, and not at the painted beauty of nature. I inhale the fresh air, I smell fresh grass, the aromas of small but fragrant flowers, and I hear the song of rustling leaves. The name of this canvas was given by Bogaevsky, who was one of the first invited, together with Kuindzhi, to evaluate the picture. Looking at it for the first time, he began to quote Nekrasov's poem "Green Noise" words, which are ideally suited to the landscape, and the assigned name remained.
"Green Noise"
Painting by Arkady Rylov
... There is no nature separate from us,
every slightest movement of air
is the movement of our own life.
I.A. Bunin
A.A. Rylov. In blue space. 1918. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow
In 1862 N.A. Nekrasov created his poetic masterpiece "Green Noise". What does "green noise" mean? As if anticipating this question, the poet made a note: “this is how people call the awakening of nature in spring.” And today, almost a century and a half later, "green noise" sounds like a song about the awakening of nature and all the best that for the time being sleeps or lurks in the human soul.
Green Noise is coming,
Green Noise, spring noise!
Playfully disperse
Suddenly the wind is riding:
Shakes alder bushes,
Raise flower dust
Like a cloud everything is green
Both air and water!
Green Noise is coming,
Green Noise, spring noise!
Like drenched in milk
There are cherry orchards,
Quietly noisy;
Warmed by the warm sun
The merry ones make noise
Pine forests;
And next to the new greenery
Babbling a new song
And the pale-leaved linden,
And white birch
With a green braid!
A small reed makes noise,
Noisy high maple ...
They make new noise
In a new way, spring.
Green Noise is coming,
Green Noise, spring noise!
In Russia, these Nekrasov poems were not only loved, many knew them by heart. Years passed, and in 1904 the artist Arkady Rylov completed the painting, which put him in the ranks of the best landscape painters in the country. In his “Memoirs” he wrote: “... I lived in the summer on the steep, high bank of the Vyatka, under the windows the birches rustled all day long, calming down only in the evening; a wide river flowed; I could see distances with lakes and forests... When I arrived in St. Petersburg, I still had this "Green Noise" in my ears... I worked very hard on this motif... trying to convey my feeling from the spring noise of birches... »
What a Russian, what a sweet heart tree - a birch! No other tree contains so many national concepts, does not give rise to so many images and comparisons. Birch is truly a peasant tree. It has everything: a whitewashed hut, and a Russian stove, and a motley homespun rug, and a woman's cotton shawl, and a linen shirt, and a ryaba hen, and even milk. The knotted birch trunks look like callused peasant hands that can do any job. And the thin and slender green-slanted birch trees, as if on tiptoe rising to the blue spring sky, resemble a girl's round dance.
Rylov showed his painting to his friends. And there: the green crowns of birches easily shot up over the river, which flows through the emerald kingdom slowly and, it seems, completely inaudibly. Playful waves subsided. Fluffy spruce paws, casting shaggy shadows, look into the mirror of the waters. A free breeze flies over a wide distance. So he picked up thin flexible branches - and the leaves fluttered, spoke, rustled, swept in a bizarre scattering in the azure sky. Above, the white lace of a gentle cloud is melting, clouds-lambs are floating ... Everything moves, lives, rejoices in freedom and light, enjoys boundless space. The bright spring greenery of the high bank, the river in the sunshine - how nice and free it is here in the spring!
Here, Nekrasov's lines are the best fit, which sound like a declaration of love:
... But I love the golden spring,
Your continuous, wonderfully mixed noise;
You rejoice, not ceasing for a moment,
Like a child, without care or thought,
In the charm of happiness and glory,
You are all devoted to the feeling of life, -
Green herbs whisper something
The wave is flowing...
Over the hills, over the forests, over the valley
The birds of the north curl, scream,
Heard at once - nightingale chant
And discordant squeaks of galchat ...
The cry of frogs, the buzzing of autumn ...
Everything merged into the harmony of life ...
N. Nekrasov . Heart breaks with pain...
Seeing the picture, Rylov's friend, the artist Bogaevsky, recited Nekrasov's poem "Green Noise". A better name for the picture could not have been thought of. So Nekrasov's poems forever became related to one of Rylov's best paintings, which marks the heyday of his talent. Now one of the versions of Arkady Rylov's painting "Green Noise" adorns the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, and the other - the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. I prefer the one in the Tretyakov Gallery.
Let's turn over a few pages of the book of the artist's life. Arkady Alexandrovich Rylov was born on January 29, 1870. His childhood and youth were spent in the north. The family lived in Vyatka, located on the banks of a wide river with the same name. The land of forests, lakes and rivers captivated the artist with its beauty and majesty. Rylov fell in love with nature passionately and for life. He could wander through forests and meadows for days on end, sit by the water for hours, watching some water hen slap his paws on the coastal silt, follow a fluffy bustling squirrel for a long time ...
Much can be said about Rylov's love for nature. But I will only remind you of just one fact that will allow everyone to draw their own conclusions. The artist had a desktop zoo at home, where its inhabitants walked - monkeys, squirrels, birds. The animals of Arkady Alexandrovich were not afraid. This touching trust of "our smaller brothers" was captured by the artist in "Self-Portrait with a Squirrel". The fluffy guest calmly and comfortably settled down on a kind, affectionate hand!
Rylov was educated at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. He was lucky to study in the workshop of the famous landscape painter Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi. He experienced the strongest influence not only of creativity, but also of the personality of his mentor. Kuindzhi was a born enthusiastic teacher, selflessly loved young people and his work. He constantly took care of his pupils, financially helped poor students, took them to the Crimea for summer practice and even abroad at his own expense.
Kuindzhi paid much attention to work in nature, which he considered the very first and serious teacher of the painter. He taught the art of seeing, feeling, understanding nature.
Artistic life in the late XIX - early XX century. was difficult. Various associations of artists arranged their exhibitions. Their participants often differed in their views on the tasks and role of art, on the goals of creativity. But Rylov's sincere, poetic, fanned with a tender love for nature, Rylov's art was accepted everywhere: his paintings could be seen in the "Union of Russian Artists", and at exhibitions of the "World of Art" association, and at the "Spring" exhibitions organized by his teacher A. AND. Kuindzhi.
In the paintings, painted after graduating from the academy, Rylov sought to convey the charm of the thoughtful deep silence of the northern forest nature. These were original “landscapes-moods” characteristic of the work of many artists of those years.

Having chosen the path of a landscape painter, Arkady Rylov kept in his memory the bright image of his teacher for the rest of his life and used his techniques in his own pedagogical work. As a professor at the Academy of Arts, teaching at the drawing school of the Society for the Encouragement of Artists almost all his life, he lovingly nurtured young talents. The students remembered him fondly. They forever remembered his testament: truth and beauty are sisters. The artist only needs to learn to see the eternal harmony of nature and work, with great work, to achieve the expression of this beauty. The talented Russian landscape painter was also recognized by noisy Paris, which was considered a trendsetter in art. Rylov was elected a member of the honorary jury of the Paris Salon (exhibition). And not just, but with the right to exhibit their paintings there without prior discussion of the jury. At international exhibitions, his work has been awarded gold medals more than once.
"Our Russian Grieg" - so called Arkady Rylov, his friend artist Mikhail Nesterov. And this is fair. For just as in the music of the Norwegian composer, who embodied the images of northern nature, a sensitive ear will catch the noise of mountain streams, the crystal sound of ice floes, the rumble of wind in the gorges, so in Rylov’s paintings, deep, sonorous, saturated color gives rise to images of Russian nature.
Rylov knew how to somehow especially poetically look at the most ordinary pictures of nature, past which hundreds of people passed without noticing them: white parachutes of dandelions in a green meadow; blue rivers where reflections of clouds floating across the sky bathe; a nimble redbone squirrel jumping along fluffy spruce branches; spring migration of birds; birches fluttering in the wind with their branches; a sunbeam deftly jumping in the corolla of kupava ... The artist was overwhelmed with impressions from what he saw. Hands reached out to the brush, the brush to the canvas, and paintings were born about native nature, and therefore, about native land.
Probably, the artist Rylov, with his paintings, wanted not only to “witness” and sing the beauty and originality of his native nature, his native land, but also to remind that a person is responsible for its safety and prosperity. I will name only a few paintings by Arkady Rylov: “Sunset” (1917), “Thundering River” (1917), “Swans” (1920), “Green Lace”, “Seagulls. Quiet Evening" (1918), "Hot Day" (1922), "Forest River", "Self-Portrait with a Squirrel" (1934), "Green Noise" (1904), "In the Blue Space" (1918)...
Once, for the first time in his life, the artist saw white swans in freedom - beautiful proud birds made a spring migration. Nature endowed swans with an indomitable desire for light and warmth, gave these graceful creatures great strength. The free flight of mighty white birds over the boundless northern sea captured the artist's imagination for a long time. There was something epic about this spectacle. And in 1918, in one breath, he painted the painting “In the Blue Space”. It was a repetition of the painting “The Flight of the Swans over the Kama”, painted by him in 1914, but this time in a major key. In the new picture, the master achieved not only the expressive laconicism of the artistic language, but also the symbolic sound of the image. Now the canvas "In the Blue Space" is in the State Tretyakov Gallery.
Blue-green waves crash against the reddish rocks of a distant island. Sparkling snow glitters on the tops of the rocks. A light sailboat sways on the waves. And over the horizon in a gentle azure, light clouds slowly float by. The majestic and severe northern nature meets the morning of a new day. White swans, as if bathing in the crystal air, soar above the water, now descending, then rising to the lilac curly clouds. With each stroke of mighty wings, gentle colored shadows fall on the snow-white plumage - and in the general joyful range of golden-lilac and bluish-green tones, more and more new shades appear. There is so much air in the picture that the viewer seems to feel the fresh breath of the wind himself. The smooth rhythm of movement and major coloring, which the talented artist managed to convey, formed a poetic song. Even today, white swans over the northern sea evoke a feeling of joy, a feeling of vast expanse and light.
There are artists whose paintings are immediately recognized at exhibitions and are not forgotten for a long time. One of these artists is Arkady Alexandrovich Rylov.
Homework(one of the students' choice).
I. Make a plan for a story on the topic “A word about the artist Arkady Rylov” (in writing).
II. Give reasoned answers to the following questions:
1. What, in your opinion, is evidence of the desire of a landscape painter to sing the beauty of his native nature?
(About love for one's Motherland, because nature is one of its components.)
2. It is easy to love the starry sky, the mirror-like surface of a forest lake, the trees lit by the sun, because they are beautiful in themselves. Is it possible to admire, love a small river or a tree with gnarled branches? ..
(Nekrasov in the poem "Railway" wrote:
There is no ugliness in nature! And kochi
And moss swamps, and stumps -
All is well under the moonlight
Everywhere I recognize my dear Rus' ...
To love, for example, the roads washed out by the thaw, as Fyodor Vasiliev loved them, can only be a person who loves any span of his native land. After all, it is no coincidence that people say: “Not good for good, but good for good”.)
3. What means are there in the artist's arsenal to convey the meaning of the picture and mood?
(Plan - front or rear, dimensions, contrast, color, art of rapprochement of tones, rhythm, reception of the scenes...)
4. Is it possible, from your point of view, in relation to man to nature - plants and animals - to judge his spiritual qualities and attitude towards people?
(It has long been noted that those who love and protect nature, plant flowers, shrubs and trees, take care of animals, as a rule, treat people sympathetically. There is a moral and aesthetic pattern: a lover of nature is at the same time a philanthropist. On the contrary, the one who senselessly destroys trees, birds, animals is also cruel in relation to people..)
5. How would you comment on the statement of Bernard Shaw: “We have learned to swim in the water like fish. Fly in the sky like birds. It remains only to learn how to live on earth like people?
6. Why do you think nature can be an eternal source of inspiration for landscape painters?
(Nature is “forever young”, cosmically boundless, changeable and diverse, it has many unsolved mysteries, touching which helps a person to know himself.)

Our daughter is in the 3rd grade, and she was asked to write an essay based on Arkady Rylov's painting "Green Noise". Here is the picture:
And here is Katino's essay:
"The painting by Arkady Rylov "Green Noise" depicts a windy summer day. Trees standing on a steep bank bend under gusts of strong wind. Their foliage rustles and trembles. Thin young birch trees seem to want to break away from the ground and fly away with the wind, but they are not allowed mature trees.The clouds ask the mother birch to let the children go, but she does not agree.The trees are noisy and arguing louder and louder.
In the background, small boats under sails rush along a wide river. A strong wind carries them easily, like feathers. Not even the clouds can overtake them.
This painting evokes in me a feeling of admiration for nature, its beauty and power."
I must say that this picture causes completely opposite feelings in me. For me, a strong wind is fear, anxiety, danger! I would say that this picture is catastrophic, that the artist captured the beginning of the storm. In the distance, the sky is still pale turquoise, but heavy clouds creeping in from behind the edge of the picture portend a close hurricane. The raging river carries uncontrolled boats swiftly. They do not manage to moor to the shore, and they will certainly break! Young birch trees bowed with a helpless plea, but this will not help - they will still be uprooted. The big trees feel like they will be mercilessly broken, but for now they have the strength to resist the oncoming wind. This picture makes me feel doomed and powerless before the rampant elements.
After we expressed our impressions, we decided to read what they write about this picture in the literature. And it turned out that Katya's daughter turned out to be closer to the artist's intention than her mother: Rylov himself writes in his memoirs that he "tried to convey the feeling of the Merry noise of birches." And the advanced public of that time (the picture was painted in the pre-revolutionary year of 1904) generally saw in it a hint of the approaching "thunder peals of a social storm" and "a symbol of the coming social renewal."

Katya received “five” for the composition. The teacher even wrote her “Well done!” in a notebook. But we missed the Russian Language Olympiad. While we were going to “start preparing for it”, it had already passed (((
Katya’s essay is excellent, it’s immediately obvious that the child reads a lot. All essays are given to us with difficulty, we write according to the proposal.
A copy from the painting “Green Noise” turned out to be sinister. The river and the sky are inky. The youngest granddaughter has heard enough of your reasoning about the picture, and now, she calls the golden autumn in the yard “yellow noise”! After all, the wind carries yellow leaves from the trees with noise! Yellow leaves crunch underfoot.
And immediately in my head the recitation of the poem “Green noise is coming, green noise, spring noise!”
The colors on the copy are really abnormal. It doesn't make me feel at all, to be honest.
young birch trees of the same age, but apparently they grew in different places, judging by the curvature of the trunks, and Rylov does not catch up with fear, rather the expectation of a cold snap without rain.

it seems to me that the essay is good, it’s not in vain that the teacher praised
In the history of Russian art, Arkady Rylov is mentioned primarily as the author of the Green Noise landscape, despite the fact that he left behind a huge number of masterfully painted works. So what is it about this canvas that sent everyone else into the background?
The painting was painted by the author in 1904. At that moment, the Russian Empire was already fighting in the vast Russian-Japanese war, a revolutionary coup was brewing nearby, and the mentality of the Russian people was radically changing. A storm of contradictions was ready to seize and turn the whole country upside down.
And Rylov in these terrible moments begins to write his future masterpiece. It depicts a landscape sketch of Vyatka, the city on the way to which Arkady was born. Rylov dedicated his work to this place, where the future artist grew up and got stronger, dear to the heart of nature, carefree days.
The artist came up with the idea of creating such a canvas in 1902. From that moment on, he began to make sketches during trips to his native city, spent a lot of time in the workshop, recalling the first years of his life, provocative games with friends and walks along the river with his parents. As a result, two years later, a painting came out from under the brush of Rylov, called by the author “Green Noise”.
In the foreground of the work, slender birches and an old oak are depicted. A strong wind is blowing, which bends the trunks of birches, forcing them to bow low to mother earth. Even an oak that has lived for many years cannot cope with gusts of strong wind and directs its crown downwind, slightly lowering the branches.
A dark blue river is visible in the background. Several sailboats rush along its surface. They are probably trying to reach the shore as soon as possible and hide from the approaching hurricane.
Bulky clouds appeared in the sky, which are ready to rain over the endless green fields. Although the distance is still pristine. There is no sign of an approaching storm in it.
Nature in motion, in resistance and at the same moment of humility, is unique and majestic. It seems that everyone looking at the canvas will not only admire the beauty of Russian nature, but also feel the streams of a powerful wind and drops of an incipient downpour, hear the sound of a howling wind and the trembling of tree leaves. It becomes clear why the picture is named that way.
An important role in the emotional perception of the picture was played by a very approximate green foreground, which is opposed to the azure distance. Thanks to the strong active brush strokes of the author, when writing the canvas, a real feeling of wind is created.
Arkady Rylov managed to do the impossible. On his canvas, he was able to convey all the beauty of the vast Russian nature, everything that was combined in it: good and evil, peace and movement, different tones and colors. It can rightfully be called a masterpiece.
