Opinion on the picture wooded shore at dusk. Composition based on the picture I

wooded coast

Isaac Ilyich Levitan - the most famous Russian artist - realist. Most of his works were written while traveling in Russia.

On one of these trips, Levitan stopped in Vladimir region. Going out for a walk in the vastness of this area, he was interested in the Peksha River, coming closer, he saw an unusually beautiful coast, which was overgrown with forest. So in the 19th century the painting "Wood Coast" was created.

When you look at this picture, then there is a double feeling. A feeling of lightness from nature, but at the same time a feeling of anxiety. The artist has depicted everything the smallest details. If you peer into the picture for a long time, it seems that the forest is alive and you can hear the quiet rustle of foliage.

At the top of the picture is the evening sky. It is dark blue, and a red blur can be seen above the tops of the trees. This is the sunset. The day is coming to an end.

These trees grow on a high bank. Bright green grass grows on the ground. And there are old dry stumps. Someone cut down the fir a long time ago.

We see a high cliff. This is no longer black soil, but most likely a clay layer of earth with sand. Perhaps earlier there was a sand quarry in this place or people mined clay. It is this moment that attracts a lot of attention. The color that the artist used to convey the cliff stands out significantly from the general background of the picture.

At the end of the picture, young trees grow on a cliff. With their young, but already strong roots, they keep the cliff from landslides during rain. They also do not allow the river to wash away this shore.

A little lower, the artist depicted a river that stretches through the whole picture. Water - like a mirror, reflects a beautiful forest. The artist depicted her in blue color, and the reflection of the trees is green.

Isaac Ilyich Levitan loved to depict nature, but at the same time he asked people not to cripple her. As can be seen from the picture in this place, nature has already suffered from human hands. Therefore, the artist tried to capture on canvas all the beauty of Russian nature.

Essay 2

Levitan. Who among us has not heard this name at least once in our lives? An outstanding Russian realist painter chose especially memorable landscapes for writing his canvases. "Wood Coast" is one of them.

The painting was painted by the master at the end of the 19th century on the Peksha River in the Vladimir Region. Are there many of these throughout Russia? Many, but each of them is unique.

The plot is both simple and complex at the same time. The artist depicts a twilight state in nature. Everything froze in anticipation of the night - life in the forest has died down, not a single tree is swaying in the wind, the river seems to have slowed down its run - its water is smooth and transparent, like a mirror reflecting a leaning forest, a steep bank, sky blue. But is it so idyllic?

Looking at the picture, you do not feel peace in spite of the outward calmness of everything around. Usually, at the sight of water or picturesque nature, a person tries to dissolve in this harmony, water makes you think about something philosophical endlessly. Here, one wants to hastily leave ... Sadness and unbearable longing overcomes the viewer. This state is achieved through the use of excessively saturated, deep colors - a gradually thickening blue sky, a dark emerald forest, impenetrable, dense and by no means alluring. And the river echoes them - its unpredictable calm makes you cautious - suddenly something unpredictable strives to happen? The oppressive state is caused not only by the saturated colors.

Here and there along the coast dry gray stumps stick out, in the place of which young trees once flaunted, the left bank of the river, similar to an artificial sand quarry, is all the work of a person who has found use for every particle that once lived and breathed. The intervention of technology and the human hand in nature has made its own adjustments - there is no former joy and life in it. Even the riverbed, its shape, as if dodging unwanted interference, it "begs" for the preservation of the natural natural state all around.

The unbearable longing of the master for the bygone beauty and youth of nature is felt. Hence his great desire to capture, to preserve, before it is too late, what remained untouched...

My favorite artist is Levitan, he is one of the best who manages to depict landscapes quite realistically.
He has been exhibiting his paintings at exhibitions since the age of 18, and they are incredibly popular to this day.

He alone conveys to us on his canvases, unexplored corners of the Russian land.
Communicating with nature through their landscapes has become happiness for short life artist.

Levitan painted the picture "The Wooded Shore" in 1892, visiting the Vladimir region, having been on the banks of the Peksha River.
The artist was forced to live for some time in that area, due to the fact that he was expelled from Moscow.
The inspiration for his painting was a walk around the neighborhood and the sights he saw could not leave him indifferent and become a reflection in his work.

Knowing the work of the artist, you can see that he loved twilight for drawing his paintings.
It was them that he managed to portray as realistically as possible.

I love Levitan's landscapes.

Isaac Levitan is a Russian landscape painter, amazing in his skill. Each of his paintings is unique and memorable. In his works, the audience never ceases to amaze the combination of simplicity and depth. Every Russian person will be able to find in them something of his own, close to his heart. Such is the painting "The Wooded Shore", written by the artist in 1892.

Author oil paints depicted on a large canvas evening twilight near the Peksha River in the Vladimir Region, where he lived for some time after being expelled from Moscow. He often walked around the neighborhood, admired nature, and at the same time chose the places he liked for his future work. Soon, Levitan's favorite place for an evening rest was the river bank near a gently sloping valley. The artist, who had seen many beautiful places, was struck by the diversity of the landscape, the transition from a coniferous forest to a deserted river bank.

For Levitan, this transition reminded him own life: an attempt to escape, striving forward, rapid growth, and then a sharp fall down and again a quiet uniform movement forward.

Evening is the artist's favorite time of day. He was fascinated by the repeating every day, but at the same time unique, transition from day to night, when the sky darkened, and everything around calmed down, gradually getting ready for sleep. Levitan saw this as a kind of mystery. So for his picture, the artist chose exactly the moment of twilight. The already darkened sky is slightly illuminated by the red light of the setting sun. Its reflections tinted the thick trunks gold.

On foreground we see a small river, which, making a slow wide turn, tends into the distance. Its banks are different, completely different from each other: one is gentle, the other is steep. Even the color of the sand on them is very different: on top it is yellow, on the bottom it is almost white. The right bank is slightly overgrown with grass, and, perhaps, part of the vegetation has already been trampled down by people swimming and fishing here or grazing livestock. The steep coast is covered with dense vegetation. There is also grass, small shrubs, and trees.

The water in the river is like a mirror. It reflects the coast, pine trees and the sky at sunset. The water is calm, it is not disturbed by the wind. The whole picture literally breathes peace and tranquility.

Pines and larches grow on the high bank. They stand close to each other, as if protecting the river from something, afraid to miss someone. They keep silence and purity. Only one birch at the very edge of the forest arched forward, as if wanting to escape from other trees, to escape from the captivity of pines. Along the steep shore are visible big stumps felled trees.

Their roots crawled out of the ground and became like the paws of mysterious fairytale heroes. Several stumps are in a circle. From a distance it seems that these are old men, bent from the weight of years, gathered and quietly talking about something. Apparently, the water often washes away the sandy shore, it once reached the forest. So I had to cut down some trees so that it would be convenient to swim along the river.

The expressiveness of the picture gives a unique combination of juicy green and bright yellow hues. They also give brightness in the perception of the picture of summer twilight depicted in the picture.

I want to look at this picture for a long time and slowly, peering into every corner, sharpening my eyes on every stroke made by the artist. There is something mystical in it and at the same time painfully dear and understandable.

The picture impresses with its power and at the same time with its calmness and silence. Immediately in the foreground we see a river that winds and goes far beyond the horizon. The river and its water surface is calm and even, and the water is clear. In the mirror transparency of water is displayed Pine forest and the sky, from this the river seems bottomless and deep. Here, in the foreground, there are old stumps that cling to the ground with their strong roots.
