1 The most famous artists of Belarus
2 2016 was declared the Year of Culture in Belarus, and this great opportunity to get acquainted with the artistic culture of our country. This presentation is dedicated to the artists who were born on the Belarusian land, who are connected with Belarus by their fate and creativity. They received their professional education mainly in St. Petersburg and Moscow, which led to the development of their work in line with Russian art of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, they artistic heritage it is a cultural heritage not only of Russia and Belarus, but of the whole world.
3 Ivan Khrutsky is the most famous and at the same time the most unknown Belarusian artist. Everyone knows his paintings. Still - we hold a fragment of one of Khrutsky's still lifes in our hands many times every day. After all, it is he who is located on the thousandth bill. At the same time, rarely anyone can remember the name of the painter. "Beloved Stranger" - this is what art historians call the artist, although for them there are still many mysteries and white spots in Khrutsky's biography and work. From the late self-portrait of Khrutsky (1884), a person looking at us is the least resembling an artist; rather, this picture evokes the image of a merchant of the 19th century. But through the beauty and "ceremoniality" of the appearance, another calm confidence, far from complacency, strictness, life wisdom breaks through.
4 You can be incredibly talented, persistent and even recognized, crowned with many awards and be forgotten during your lifetime. Moreover, forgotten for almost a century. This is exactly the story of Ivan Fomich Khrutsky - the most famous artist of Belarus, who worked in the nineteenth century. ()
5 Even years ago, even experts discovered Ivan Khrutsky. The most curious thing is that the works of this artist have never been forgotten, because it is no coincidence that Khrutsky is considered the founder of Russian still life. This genre was loved in the nineteenth century and in the twentieth. It was in the twentieth century that I. Khrutsky's still lifes were in almost every home. Of course, the Soviet people could not afford to have original canvases, but reproductions with such luxurious colors and delicious fruits decorated the apartments of many Soviet people.
6 INSTEAD OF SANA - THE ACADEMY OF ARTS Khrutsky's biography itself is still full of mysteries. But even what we know allows us to imagine a brave person, ready to overcome any obstacles for the sake of his goal. That was exactly what the 17-year-old son of a Uniate priest, a student of a religious lyceum, went to St. Petersburg alone to take up drawing.
7 INSTEAD OF SANA - ACADEMY OF ARTS Three years later, I. Khrutsky begins to receive the first serious awards for still lifes - a genre that was in decline at that time. Small silver medal, small gold Khrutsky went to his goal to get a big gold medal in order to qualify for a six-year internship in Italy at public expense.
8 In 1836 I. Khrutsky was awarded a large silver medal for the painting “Flowers and Fruits”. In 1838, for the paintings "Flowers and Fruits" and "The Old Woman Knitting a Stocking", the artist was awarded a small gold medal, and in 1839, "for excellent work in portraiture, landscape, and especially in painting fruits and vegetables," Ivan Khrutsky was awarded the title of academician .
9 What kind of world fame the artist could achieve, one can only guess, because no Italy, despite receiving a large gold medal, never happened in his life.
10 FOR THE SAKE OF THE FAMILY, I REJECTED A DREAM In 1839, Khrutsky's father died. Remains a mother and five younger brothers and sisters who simply have nothing to live on and nowhere to live. The artist, in addition to still lifes and landscapes, which are in great demand in St. Petersburg, paints 23 portraits in two years. the mighty of the world this." This made it possible in 1844 to buy the Zakharnichi estate near Polotsk for his relatives and himself. There is no mention of Italy any more. Since 1845, Ivan Fomich has been living permanently in his own estate.
11 From 1845 to 1855 the artist executed a large number of works commissioned by his patron, the Lithuanian Metropolitan Joseph Semashko. Khrutsky painted icons, portraits of clergy, many paintings based on works of religious themes by great masters of painting, as well as city views.
12 Ivan Khrutsky spent the last 20 years of his life in complete oblivion, almost without exhibitions and without commissions - after the appearance of cheap daguerreotypes, portraits were ordered less. He painted his own children in interiors. The last works that we know of are two self-portraits that the artist painted for his son and daughter a year before his death. Ivan Fomich Khrutsky died in 1885 and was buried in the family vault on the Zakharnichi estate. Family portrait
13 I.F. Khrutsky, perhaps, did not even know that his still life was acquired by Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov for his famous gallery- for those times a serious recognition of the talent of the artist. Today, Khrutsky's works are available in various museums, and in 2009, an expanded exposition of Ivan Khrutsky's works was opened at the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus.
14 Who was to be one of the eight children born at the end of the nineteenth century in a small town near Vitebsk in the family of a poor Jew - a herring peddler? Probably a global celebrity. This is what happened to Marc Chagall. We can say that Marc Chagall is one of the most phantasmagoric lyrical painters of the 20th century.
15 Childhood and youth future artist July 6, 1887 (June 24, old style) in the village of Liozno. Chagall studied at the Jewish primary school, and then went to the state, where the lessons were held in Russian. At the age of 19, despite the categorical protests of his father, but with the support of his mother, Chagall entered the private School of Painting and Drawing of the Artist Pan. Peng was so impressed with the rookie's daring color work that he allowed him to attend his school for free. "Portrait of Marc Chagall" by his teacher Yudel Pan
16 Households, neighbors, merchants and ordinary peasants became Chagall's models. Wooden houses, onion churches, a grocery store, Jewish customs and holidays - this simple and difficult, but such a "thorough" life has forever merged into the heart of a young man. The images of his beloved Vitebsk will be constantly repeated in the artist's work.
17 St. Petersburg "Self-portrait" In 1907, with 27 rubles in his pocket, Chagall went to the Russian capital, where he sometimes lived on the verge of poverty. But all these hardships were of little importance for the young artist, who got into the maelstrom of the artistic life of the capital at the junction of two revolutions. Knowing and absorbing everything new, Chagall keeps aloof from various associations and groups, he begins to form his own unique style in which fabulousness and metaphorical images are manifested.
18 Marriage In the summer of 1909 in Vitebsk, the artist met Bella Rosenfeld, the daughter of a Vitebsk jeweler, who will forever remain his lover, wife and muse. Marriage introduced the theme of love and motherhood into the artist's work. "Wedding" "Bella in White Collar"
19 "Bathing a Child" "Pink Lovers" "Blue Lovers" "Lovers. Walk" "Above the city"
20 Paris In 1910, Chagall went to Paris, where he got acquainted with world culture and the work of avant-garde masters - G. Apollinaire, M. Jacob, A. Modigliani and others. Chagall's painting of those years is imbued with a rebellious spirit, painted in eccentric and burlesque tones, and at the same time invariably carries a sense of the mystery of being. "Me and the Village" "Birthday" "Cattle Dealer"
21 France After October revolution in years, Chagall served as a commissar of the provincial department of public education in Vitebsk, decorated the city for revolutionary holidays. After moving to Moscow, Chagall painted a number of large wall paintings for the Jewish Chamber Theater. In 1922, Marc Chagall leaves for Europe. Since 1923, he has lived permanently in France, discovering the beauty of the south of this country. Colorful bouquets and flowering trees, most directly conveying the artist's admiration for the beauty of the world, from now on become an integral part of his painting.
22 New York On the eve of the Second World War and in the forties, social motives, the theme of war and destruction, embodied in tragic images suffering people and animals, depicting burning villages and symbolic scenes of crucifixion. The management of the Museum of Modern Art in New York invites Chagall to the USA, and in the summer of 1941 the Chagall family comes to New York. After the liberation of Paris, Chagall aspires to France, but on September 2, 1944, Bella dies of sepsis. Chagall is devastated by grief, and only after 9 months he picks up brushes to paint two paintings in memory of his beloved. "Wedding lights" "Next to her."
23 In the 1920s, Chagall's field of activity expanded. He receives numerous orders for monumental painting, illustrations for books, sculptures, ceramics, stained glass, tapestries and mosaics and acquires world fame. Bible illustrations and stained glass
24 Until the last days, Chagall continued his creative activity. March 28, 1985, at the age of 98, Marc Chagall died in an elevator, rising after a day of work in the studio. He died "in flight", as a gypsy once predicted to him and how he depicted himself flying in his paintings.
25 Few people know what the logo is based on international festival "Slavic Marketplace in Vitebsk" the famous Chagall cornflower was laid, which became recognizable brand and a symbol not only of the artist's hometown, but of the whole country.
26 Man of art Mikhail Andreevich Savitsky is an artist whose name is inextricably linked with the main tragedies Belarusian land 20th century: World War II and the Chernobyl tragedy. In the phenomenon of Savitsky, it is impossible to separate the biography and work of the artist. He truly created the image of his time, the image of the being of his era, precisely because this being and this time cruelly and ruthlessly built his fate.
27 The life of the future famous artist began on February 18, 1922 in the village of Zvenyachi, Tolochin district, Vitebsk region. Mikhail dreamed of becoming an artist, although, of course, he vaguely imagined what it was. There were no art books in the village. Nobody saw the artists either. Acquaintance with painting was limited in childhood, in addition to icons, to two reproductions of Kustodiev’s Shrovetide and Morning archery execution» Surikova. My father brought these reproductions from somewhere and took great care of them.
28 Savitsky's youth coincided with the years of the Great Patriotic War. After graduating from high school in 1940, he was drafted into the Red Army. The beginning of the Second World War was caught in Chechnya, but already in November 1941, as part of the landing force, he landed in Sevastopol, where he took part in the defense of the city, which lasted 250 days. The city was surrendered, and after 5 days Savitsky was taken prisoner and, after a short stay in prison, was sent to Romania, and then to Germany. Almost at the very beginning of the war, Savitsky found himself in the concentration camps of Düsseldorf, Buchenwald and Dachau. April 29, 1945 was liberated from the Dachau concentration camp by American troops.
29 “Prisoner 32815” In 1974 the artist began to paint pictures denouncing fascism. By the end of 1978 he had finished ten paintings and gave them common name"Numbers on the Heart" In early 1979, three more canvases appeared to complete the series. Only after three decades did the experience in artistic images. The pictures of the "Numbers on the Heart" cycle do not testify, do not speak, but scream about fascist hell
30 "The Partisan Madonna of Minsk" After returning to his homeland, Savitsky enters art school, and then to the Moscow Art Institute named after Surikov, from which he graduated in 1957. After that, Mikhail Savitsky returned to Minsk, where he lived, practically without leaving anywhere, devoting himself entirely to painting. The theme of war becomes central in his work. His works tell about the horrors of war, about those inhuman trials that befell people during the Second World War.
31 In 1987, Mikhail Savitsky begins to create the Black True Story cycle. 5 years of work, 5 years of emotional distress, heartache, physical fatigue. Chernobyl, from the point of view of the authors, was inevitable. This is the result of arrogant and soulless human activity, which led to the tragedy of alienation from the earth, nature, the usual way of life, from morality. Savitsky is the pioneer of this theme in art. He uses the reporting method to plots from the Chernobyl realities, he gives an allegorical meaning. So his visible prayers appeared
32 An important place in the artist's work is occupied by Christian themes: last years the author worked on the cycle "The Beatitudes" and historical paintings dedicated to the earthly life of Christ. A new cycle of paintings "XX century" Mikhail Savitsky began after the completion of the cycle "The Commandments of Bliss". In it, the artist wanted to display his understanding of the problems of the XX XXI centuries.
33 Mikhail Andreevich died at the age of 89 on November 8, 2010. He was buried at the Eastern Cemetery in Minsk. The artist donated all his best paintings to our city, and they took pride of place in the Mikhail Savitsky Gallery, which is located in the Museum of the History of Minsk on Freedom Square.

Jan Damel Belarusian-Polish-Lithuanian artist of the early 19th century. representative of classicism. He began to master painting in 1799 at Vilna University with Francis Smuglevich and Jan Rustem. After completing several courses and passing exams, he received a master's degree in liberal sciences, and later a gymnasium teacher. In 1809 he became a master of painting and vice-professor.
Jan Damel wrote primarily in historical themes: “The death of the master of the crusaders Ulrich von Jungingen in the battle of Grunwald”, “The death of Prince Poniatowski”, “Paul I frees Kosciuszko from captivity”, “The defeated troops of Napoleon in Vilna”, “The French crossing the Berezina”, etc. His works are known on religious themes (“The Entombment”, “Christ and the Samaritan Woman”), portraits of Prince D. Radziwill, Counts Joachim Khreptovich, landscapes of Minsk and its environs (“Water Mill”, “Trees Under Water”), drawings and sketches on everyday life peoples of Siberia. In addition, Damel, like many artists of that time, paid tribute to the album drawing. The artist's work was formed under the influence of classicism, but in a number of his works one can feel the desire for a romantic depiction of reality. Damel's portraits have a subtle psychological characteristic.
Vankovich Valenty-Wilhelm Belarusian painter, representative of romanticism. Born into a moderately prosperous noble (gentry) family of Judge Melchior Vankovich and Scholastica Goretskaya, sister of the famous Polish poet Anthony Goretsky. He studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts (since 1824). Creativity is associated with artistic life Belarus and Russia
Creativity Vankovich's first teacher in painting was the future general of the Jesuit Order Gabriel Gruber, a miniaturist. A native of Vienna, he painted extensively for the Polish King Stanisław August. Young Vankovich, in his free time from studies, read old books collected in the Jesuit library, and copied paintings from the monastery. Finishing the sixth grade, he already knew how to paint miniatures and portraits in oils, improving the drawing and color. In St. Petersburg, he is gaining more and more recognition. After four years of painstaking study, he returns to Vilna University with a gold medal. After 1830, the artist ceased to be interested in drawing miniatures, he was now attracted only by historical subjects, and he wanted to work only in this direction. However, the influence of Andrzej Towianski's science reached his estate in Slepianka. In the beginning, the old enthusiasm was still alive in him. Vankovich was an ambitious man, but the successes in Vilna and St. Petersburg did not continue. However, in the forty-year-old artist, the thirst for new successes was awakened again. He left his home and country, and went to Paris, where he again became close to Adam Mickiewicz.
Napoleon Orda Belarusian and Polish writer and composer, musician, artist, sculptor, teacher. Since 1833, living in Paris, he took drawing lessons in the studio of F. Gerard. Traveling around Europe and North Africa, made many sketches of landscapes, mostly urban views. In Belarus, he is known for his album of views of the provinces of Grodno, Minsk, Kyiv, etc., the material for which he collected during his travels.
Napoleon Orda and Ukraine 177 works of the artist, which depict the architectural landscapes of Ukraine, have come down to our time. His drawings were used during the preparation of projects for the restoration of the following objects:
Ostroh Castle As well as such architectural monuments as: · St. Andrew's Church in Kyiv, · Church of John the Baptist in the White Church, · Dubno Castle, · Letychevsky Castle.
Napoleon Orda and Belarus Among the Belarusian works of the Horde: “Volozhinsky Palace”, “Geranyonsky Castle”, “Dyatlovskaya Manor”, “Zakozelskaya Manor”, “Logoysky Park”, “Ruzhansky Palace”, “Skokovsky Palace”, “Minsk. Cathedral Square, Svisloch, Grodno, Osveya, Kreva Castle, Novogrudok (1850-1870s). Based on his drawings and watercolors, in 1873-1883, lithographs were created (artist A. Misurovich) and published in Warsaw (260 graphic sheets in 8 series). Interesting. Every Belarusian can see the work of Napoleon Orda "Radziwill's Nesvizh Castle" on the banknote of 100,000 Belarusian rubles. Interesting.

Born on January 27, 1810 in the family of a Greek Catholic priest, nobleman Tomasz Khrutsky. Khrutsky received his secondary art education at the Polotsk Higher School. In 1827 he comes to St. Petersburg. Here, until 1829, he took lessons from the English painter J. Dow and at the same time studied Imperial Academy arts. Copied in the Hermitage. In 1830 Khrutsky entered the Academy of Arts. There he studied with such masters as A. G. Varnek, F. A. Bruni.
Creativity Ivan Fomich Khrutsky is known as an artist who worked in line with the Russian academic school. He entered the history of art with his still lifes. The first dated studies of the artist - "Still Life with a Vase" and "Still Life with a Bird" - date back to 1832. The main direction of Khrutsky's work during this period was work on the still life "Still Life with a Vase" (1832) "Still Life with a Bird" (1832)
On September 24, 1839, I. F. Khrutsky "for excellent work in portraiture, landscape painting, and especially in painting fruits and vegetables" was awarded the title of academician of painting.

The painting "The Old Woman Knitting a Stocking" (1838) brings him closer to artists who did not have an academic education, for example, with A. G. Venetsianov and especially V. A. Tropipin. In 1838, for this work, as well as for the still life “Flowers and Fruits”, Ivan Khrutsky was awarded the small gold medal “The Old Woman Knitting a Stocking” (1838). : "In the room" (1854) and others.

Picturesque landscapes, clean lakes and rivers, healing springs, endless coniferous forests and birch groves, only occasionally interrupted by lonely fields or a whole string of blue lakes, will certainly captivate and inspire everyone who is lucky enough to be there at least once. The fact that this region is truly fabulously wonderful is once again convinced by looking at landscape painting Belarusian artist Viktor Yushkevich, lovingly capturing these corners of nature on his canvases.
