They always surprised us with their extraordinary approach to work, their reverent attitude towards the feelings and sensations of each person. Perhaps this is why Russian artists so often depicted portrait compositions that vividly combined emotional images and epically calm motifs. No wonder Maxim Gorky once said that an artist is the heart of his country, the voice of an entire era. Indeed, the majestic and elegant paintings of Russian artists vividly convey the inspiration of their time. Like aspirations famous author Anton Chekhov, many sought to bring into Russian paintings the unique flavor of their people, as well as an unquenchable dream of beauty.

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 with which Russian painting surprises is connected with the enormous potential of the artists’ surrounding world. Levitan also said that every note of lush nature contains a majestic and extraordinary 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, which is so difficult to tear yourself away from.

Russian painting is rightfully distinguished from the world artistic arts. The fact is that until the seventeenth century, Russian painting was associated exclusively with religious themes. The situation changed with the coming to power of the reforming tsar, 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 Joseph Vladimirov. Then, in Russian art world portrait was born and quickly became popular. In the eighteenth century, the first artists appeared who moved from portraiture to landscape painting. The artists’ pronounced sympathy for winter panoramas is noticeable. The eighteenth century was also remembered for the emergence of everyday painting. In the nineteenth century, three movements gained popularity in Russia: romanticism, realism and classicism. As before, Russian artists continued to turn to the portrait genre. It was then that the world-famous portraits and self-portraits of O. Kiprensky and V. Tropinin appeared. In the second half of the nineteenth century, artists increasingly depicted the common Russian people in their oppressed state. Realism becomes the central movement of painting of this period. It was then that the Itinerant artists 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 throughout the world. Their paintings became the forerunners of abstract art. Russian painting is a huge amazing world talented artists who glorified Russia with their creations

This list of famous landscape painters was compiled by our editor Neil Collins, MFA, LL.B. It represents his personal opinion of the ten best representatives of genre art. Like any such compilation, it reveals more about the personal tastes of the compiler than about the place of landscape painters. So, the top ten landscape painters and their landscapes.

No. 10 Thomas Cole (1801-1848) and Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900)

There are two American artists in tenth place.

Thomas Cole: The Greatest American Landscape Painter early XIX century and founder of the Hudson River School, Thomas Cole was born in England, where he worked as an apprentice engraver before emigrating to the United States in 1818, where he quickly achieved recognition as a landscape painter, settling in the Catskill village of the Hudson Valley. An admirer of Claude Lorraine and Turner, he visited England and Italy from 1829 to 1832, after which (thanks in part to the encouragement he received from John Martyn and Turner) he began to focus less on natural landscapes and more on grand allegorical and historical themes. . Largely impressed by the natural beauty of the American landscape, Cole imbued much of his landscape art with great feeling and an obvious romantic splendor.

Famous landscapes of Thomas Cole:

- “View of the Catskills - Early Autumn” (1837), oil on canvas, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

- “American Lake” (1844), oil on canvas, Detroit Institute of Arts

Frederic Edwin Church

Frederic Edwin Church: Cole's student, Church perhaps surpassed his teacher in monumental romantic panoramas, each of which conveyed some kind of spirituality of nature. Church painted impressive views of natural landscapes throughout the American continent from Labrador to the Andes.

Famous landscapes of Frederic Church:

- “Niagara Falls” (1857), Corcoran, Washington

- “The Heart of the Andes” (1859), Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

- "Cotopaxi" (1862), Detroit Institute of Arts

No. 9 Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840)

Thoughtful, melancholy and a bit of a recluse, Caspar David Friedrich - greatest artist-landscape painter romantic tradition. Born near the Baltic Sea, he settled in Dresden, where he focused exclusively on spiritual connections and the meaning of landscape, inspired by the silent silence of the forest, as well as light (sunrise, sunset, moonlight) and the seasons. His genius lay in his ability to capture a hitherto unknown spiritual dimension in nature, which gives the landscape an emotional, never-before-matched mysticism.

Famous landscapes of Caspar David Friedrich:

- “Winter Landscape” (1811), oil on canvas, National Gallery, London

- “Landscape in Riesengebirge” (1830), oil on canvas, Pushkin Museum, Moscow

- “Man and Woman Looking at the Moon” (1830-1835), oil, National Gallery, Berlin

No. 8 Alfred Sisley (1839-1899)

Often called the "forgotten impressionist", the Anglo-Frenchman Alfred Sisley was second only to Monet in his devotion to spontaneous plein airism: he was the only Impressionist to devote himself exclusively to landscape painting. His seriously underrated reputation rests on his ability to capture the unique effects of light and the seasons in sweeping landscapes and sea and river scenes. His image of dawn and an unclear day is especially memorable. Nowadays it is not very popular, but is still considered one of greatest representatives Impressionist landscape painting. Might well be overrated since, unlike Monet, his work never suffered from a lack of form.

Famous landscapes of Alfred Sisley:

- “Foggy Morning” (1874), oil on canvas, Orsay Museum

- “Snow at Louveciennes” (1878), oil on canvas, Orsay Museum, Paris

- “Morette Bridge in the Sun” (1892), oil on canvas, private collection

No. 7 Albert Cuyp (1620-1691)

Dutch realist painter, Aelbert Kuip is one of the most famous Dutch landscape painters. Its magnificent scenic vistas, river scenes and landscapes of tranquil cattle, reveal a majestic serenity and masterful handling of bright light ( early morning or evening sun) in the Italian style is a sign of Klodeev's great influence. This golden light often catches only the sides and edges of plants, clouds or animals through impasto lighting effects. Thus, Cuyp turned his native Dordrecht into an imaginary world, reflecting it at the beginning or end of an ideal day, with an all-encompassing sense of stillness and security, and the harmony of everything with nature. Popular in Holland, it was highly prized and collected in England.

Famous landscapes of Albert Cuyp:

- “View of Dordrecht from the North” (1650), oil on canvas, collection of Anthony de Rothschild

- “River Landscape with Horseman and Peasants” (1658), oil, National Gallery, London

No. 6 Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-1875)

Jean-Baptiste Corot, one of greatest landscape painters romantic style, famous for its unforgettable picturesque depictions of nature. His particularly subtle approach to distance, light and form depended on tone rather than on drawing and color, giving the finished composition the atmosphere of an endless romance. Less constrained by pictorial theory, Korot's work nevertheless ranks among the world's most popular landscapes. A regular participant in the Paris Salon since 1827 and a member of the Barbizon School led by Théodore Rousseau (1812-1867), he had a huge influence on other plein air artists such as Charles-François Daubigny (1817-1878), Camille Pissarro (1830-1903). ) and Alfred Sisley (1839-1899). He was also an extraordinarily generous man who spent much of his money on artists in need.

Famous landscapes of Jean-Baptiste Corot:

- “Bridge at Narni” (1826), oil on canvas, Louvre

- “Ville d'Avrey” (approx. 1867), oil on canvas, Brooklyn Art Museum, NY

- “Rural Landscape” (1875), oil on canvas, Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, Albi, France

No. 5 Jacob van Ruisdael (1628-1682)

The work of Jacob Van Ruisdael, now considered the greatest of all Dutch realist landscape painters, had an enormous influence on later European landscape art, despite the fact that during his lifetime he was less popular than the Italian style painters. His subjects included windmills, rivers, forests, fields, beaches and seascapes depicted with an unusually moving feeling, using bold shapes, dense colors and energetic thick brushstrokes, rather than the usual focus on tone. Jacob, a student of his uncle Salomon van Ruisdael, in turn taught the famous Meindert Hobbema (1638-1709), and greatly admired English masters such as Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable, as well as members of the Barbizon School.

Famous landscapes of Jacob van Ruisdael:

- “Landscape with Shepherds and Farmers” (1665), oil on canvas, Uffizi Gallery

- “Mill in Wijk near Duarsted” (1670), oil on canvas, Rijksmuseum

- “Jewish cemetery in Ouderkerk” (1670), Gallery of Old Masters, Dresden

No. 4 Claude Lorrain (1600-1682)

French painter, draughtsman and engraver, active in Rome, who is considered by many art historians to be the greatest painter of the idyllic landscape in the history of art. Since pure (that is, secular and non-classical) landscape, like ordinary still life or genre painting, lacked moral gravity (in 17th century Rome), Claude Lorrain introduced classical elements and mythological themes into his compositions, including gods, heroes and saints. Moreover, his chosen environment, the countryside around Rome, was rich in ancient ruins. These classic Italian pastoral landscapes were also imbued with a poetic light that represents his unique contribution to the art of landscape painting. Claude Lorraine particularly influenced English artists, both during his lifetime and for two centuries after it: John Constable called him "the finest landscape painter the world has ever seen."

Famous landscapes of Claude Lorrain:

- “Modern Rome - Campo Vaccino” (1636), oil on canvas, Louvre

- “Landscape with the Wedding of Isaac and Rebecca” (1648), oil, National Gallery

- “Landscape with Tobias and the Angel” (1663), oil, Hermitage, St. Petersburg

No. 3 John Constable (1776-1837)

He ranks alongside Turner as one of the finest English landscape painters, not least because of his exceptional ability to recreate the colours, climate and rural landscape of the romantic English countryside, and because of his pioneering role in the development of plein airism. In contrast to Turner's distinctly interpretive style, John Constable focused on nature, painting the landscapes of Suffolk and Hampstead that he knew so well. However, his spontaneous, fresh compositions were often careful reconstructions, which owed much to his close study of Dutch realism, as well as Italianized works in the spirit of Claude Lorrain. Famous artist Henry Fusli once said that Constable's lifelike, naturalistic depictions always made him call for their protection!

Famous landscapes of John Constable:

- "Building a Boat at Flatward" (1815), oil, Victoria and Albert Museum, London

- “Hay Wagon” (1821), oil on canvas, National Gallery, London

No. 2 Claude Monet (1840-1926)

The greatest modern landscape painter and a giant of French painting, Monet was a leading figure in the incredibly influential Impressionist movement, whose principles of spontaneous plein air painting he remained faithful to for the rest of his life. A close friend of the Impressionist artists Renoir and Pissarro, his pursuit of optical truth, primarily in the depiction of light, is represented by a series of canvases depicting the same object in different lighting conditions, and at different times of day, such as Haystacks (1888). ), Poplars (1891), Rouen Cathedral (1892) and The River Thames (1899). This method culminated in the famous Water Lilies series (among all the most famous landscapes), created from 1883 in his garden at Giverny. His final series of monumental drawings of water lilies with shimmering flowers have been interpreted by several art historians and painters as an important precursor to abstract art, and by others as the supreme example of Monet's search for spontaneous naturalism.

“The beauty of nature in the paintings of Russian artists”

Class: 4

Full name of the head: Ruzmanova I.Yu.,

GPD teacher

Levzha, 2018

I . Introduction.

Nature in folk culture is inseparable from man; his thoughts, feelings, life. The Russian artistic tradition has left us the names of many poets, writers, artists, musicians who touched on the theme of nature in their work.

Nature is our habitat. How can one live without the noise of foliage illuminated by sunlight or watered by cool rain? How can you live without the smell of flowers, grass, black soil? How can you live without seeing the sparkle of snowflakes in the moonlight and scarlet bunches of rowan trees against the backdrop of a dazzling white distance? Or without the delightful thrill of the soul only the first spring rays of the sun?!Our homeland has countless natural resources, it has greatness before man: its amazing beauty, which takes your breath away, menacing winter storms, deep rivers, high rocks, a variety of animals inhabiting Russia. It's all nature. All this is inspiration. Nature is a real temple of beauty, and it is no coincidence that all poets, artists, and musicians drew their ideas from observing them in the natural environment.

Inspiration is what is needed to create a work of art in music, painting or literature. Nature gives it to man in full. And in Russia she is very rich. Our country is especially beautiful. There is cold and heat, and hopeless forests, and desert plains, and majestic mountains, even the deepest lake in the world, Lake Baikal. Just the sight of a birch grove begins to shed tears of happiness and enlightenment!

Also, now in our country the topic of nature conservation is very relevant. People are often indifferent to this, but this is not right. Do we really have the right to destroy and spoil what has been given to us? Think about it! Let's take care of our priceless nature and admire it, the way great people of art did!

The purpose of my work :

1. To attract the attention of my peers to the topic of native nature in art;

Tasks:

Get acquainted with the work of Russian artists who embodied images of nature in their work;

Reveal a sense of patriotism through images of nature in art;

Fostering patriotism for the surrounding reality and careful attitude to native nature.

II . Main part

Let's look at artists' works about different seasons to understand what feelings they experience at each time and how they express them in their works. Seasons in painting are a special theme in the landscapes of nature paintings by Russian artists, because nothing touches as sensitively as the change in the appearance of nature according to the seasons. Along with the season, the mood of nature changes, which the artist’s brushes convey with ease in paintings.

1. “Frost and sun... Wonderful day”

Winter! Our homeland is famous for its Russian winters. This is the unique beauty of Russian forests and fields under a white blanket of snow. These are bullfinch birds with bright breasts sitting on bunches of rowan berries. At this time, it seems as if all nature freezes, and the usual sounds of the city subside until spring, as in the painting by A.M. Vasnetsov "Winter Dream".

Winter in the paintings of Russian artists is a fabulous time of serene splendor, when nature sleeps and rests, hidden under a snow-white blanket, landscapes of the Russian winter are amazing in beauty and reveal the true winter nature.

I.E. Grabar "February Azure"

V.G. Tsyplakov “Frost and Sun”

S.Yu. Zhukovsky "Winter"

Winter is loved in Russia, but despite this, we usually associate it with cold weather and sad thoughts.

I. Levitan “Winter in the Forest”

2. How bright, how elegant spring is!

Ah spring! Time for love, bloom, happiness! The delightful smells of approaching warmth and sun are in the clear air. At this time of year, all nature comes to life, waking up after winter sleep. And how beautiful it is to wake up! Everywhere there are sounds of streams, birds singing, snow is melting, and spring rays are shining on the water.

A. Gritsai “April in the forest”

One of the founders of the Russian landscape school, Alexey Kondratievich Savrasov, was very sensitive to spring.

A.K. Savrasov “The rooks have arrived”

He has a lot of paintings depicting this time of year. Levitan, Savrasov’s favorite student, notes: “With Savrasov, lyricism in landscape painting and boundless love for one’s life appeared. native land" When K. Paustovsky came one spring to the workshop of the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, Savrasov shouted to the students: “Drive the sun onto the canvas! We missed the spring warmth! The snow was melting, running cold water through the ravines - why didn’t I see this in your sketches? The linden trees were blooming, the rains were as if not water, but silver was pouring from the sky - where is all this on your canvases? Shame and nonsense! Also, Savrasov’s contemporaries preserved his words that without air there is no landscape: “...No matter how many birches and spruce trees you plant, whatever you come up with, if you don’t write air... the landscape is rubbish.”

I. Levitan “Spring. Big water"

I. Levitan “March”

Spring in the paintings of Russian artists is fraught with the tenderness of nature awakening from winter sleep in bright colors the sun, reflected in the brilliance of melting March snow, in the rich colors of grass, leaves and blossoms of spring landscapes stretching towards the sun.

I. S. Ostroukhov “The First Greens”

I. Levitan “Apple trees are blooming”

3. “Summer is a sea of sun, light and warmth. It's time for joy"

Everyone loves summer! How can one not love green forests and fertile fields, warm rivers where, with the arrival of summer, people like to swim, the constant light of the sun floating in the petals of fragrant flowers.

A.A. Plastov "Senokos"

A.A. Rylov “Field Rowan”

Summer in the paintings of Russian artists is imbued with the harmony of warmth and fragrance of greenery, sometimes slightly tired by the sultry heat, sometimes saturated with refreshing moisture after a warm summer rain in the colors of the splendor of nature in Russian landscapes.

I. Levitan " Birch Grove»

I.I. Shishkin "Oak Grove"

I.I. Shishkin “Pines illuminated by the sun”

F. Vasiliev “Wet meadow”

4. “The golden foliage began to spin…”

Autumn in the paintings of Russian artists is the brightest and most touching time, where there are red-yellow, golden and warm colors of the beautiful Indian summer, and where there is a rainy and touching landscape of truly Russian nature in all its beauty of autumn splendor. The painting “ Golden autumn» Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov.

This is an outstanding Russian artist who left a significant mark on the development of the Russian landscape school. The painting depicts an autumn forest and a lake, which reflects the redness of the trees. This is a captivating landscape, truly “forests dressed in crimson and gold.” Here is exactly that “rare ray of sun” depicted, and in its light the foliage of the birches becomes even brighter, more dazzling.

I. Levitan “Golden Autumn”

HER. Volkov “Golden Autumn. Quiet river"

In autumn we say goodbye to summer fun, warmth, and prepare for winter. This, of course, leads to sad thoughts. Autumn colors are full of longing for the departed warmth. The paintings take on gray, rainy, cold colors.

I. Levitan “Autumn”

I. Levitan “Autumn. Road in the village"

III . Conclusion.

So, we enjoyed the landscapes of Russian artists. All this could not help but affect our thoughts about the captivating beauty and soul of the nature of our native lands. We must not forget what surrounds us every second, what gives us life and even more - happiness. Stop at least for a moment, take a look at what you usually don’t attach much importance to and pass by, rushing about your everyday affairs! Take a look and you will forget about the bustle, about the problems that torment your soul, and even about pain. Immerse yourself in another world, where there are no usual worries, but only birdsong, azure skies, enchanting smells and heavenly views of nature. And, of course, we should be proud of the nature of Russia, because no one else has such diversity and space. Love your homeland, preserve and respect its nature!
