Isaac Levitan - Golden Autumn

Isaac Levitan, Golden Autumn, 1895

Autumn was Levitan's favorite season, and he devoted more than a hundred paintings to it. One of the most beloved paintings by the public is this Golden Autumn, although it is not so characteristic of the artist's work - it is too bright, bold, major done. It is possible that Levitan himself was not completely satisfied with it, because a year later he painted another picture with the same name, but painted more softly, gently, crystal ...

This autumn landscape is unusually bright and optimistic, despite the fact that most of Levitan's paintings are dominated by the color scheme of sadness - mixed muted tones. In total, the artist has about a hundred autumn landscapes. Their usual theme is the solemnly sad withering of the autumns of Russian nature. However, there is no sadness in this picture! The canvas depicts a deep forest river of saturated of blue color and reflective golden sunlight white-trunked birches in autumn decoration ...

Vasily Polenov - Golden autumn

Polenov's golden autumn expresses to the viewer a comfortably lived-in corner of vast Russia, with its infinitely charming diversity, which gives a person the joy of life, a contemplative mood and peace.

The Oka River, meandering steeply, goes into the distance, reflecting in its waters a part of autumn trees densely overgrown on the right bank of the river, in the same place a white-stone church is slightly visible in the distance. In the foreground of the picture is a hill descending towards the river with greenish-ocher hues, where a forest path runs along the right bank into the depths of a birch grove. Relative to the birches decorated with the golden color of autumn, flaunting its dark green foliage, the oak stands majestically, not yet touched by the impending autumn time. In tune with oak color shade you can mark small Christmas trees, seated along the path and talking about the beginning of a new life.

In the picture, everything is subordinated to the autumn season, the color of the colors emphasizes the variety of foliage on the trees from green-red hues to bright yellow and orange, contrasting with the blue colors of the river and the sky. The atmosphere of the airiness of the picture is picturesquely reflected by the artist;

Ilya Ostroukhov - Golden Autumn

The picture of the artist I. S. Ostroukhov “Golden Autumn” depicts precisely the golden autumn. The picture does not dazzle the leaves of red and Green colour. Everything is covered in gold.

The whole picture is filled with some kind of joyful movement and is a very “talkative” picture for a sophisticated viewer. "We are happy to spin!" - informs the rustle of leaves, "now we will fly away!" - lively magpies warn cheerfully. The oak trunk in the background, which is entwined with smaller trees, on the contrary, as if tells the viewer about the resilience of the forest: “We will survive this autumn too!”. And, in the end, even a dank autumn, a city dweller who has looked into the museum will move away from this picture with a feeling of joyful amazement. And with the desire to get out into nature. Or, at least sit in "In the Abramtsevsky Park", as Ostroukhov's second famous autumn landscape is called.

The picture is full of wonder: it is rare to see an image of a “rejoicing” in a landscape. early autumn forests. And this is all the more surprising that Ilya Semenovich Ostroukhov never trained professionally as an artist, he took only private lessons in painting. And it is a pity that his landscapes are less known than the canvases of Shishkin, Levitan or Polenov.

Isaac Brodsky - Golden Autumn

The picture "Golden Autumn" is painted in very bright colors. It is difficult to imagine such rich colors in reality. But Brodsky makes us feel the whole atmosphere of autumn in a small village. In the foreground, trees with red-orange leaves stand out, which personifies activity and vitality.

Beautifully traced openwork foliage and tree branches. A river flows at the edge of the village. Waves are carefully drawn in it. And in one place you can even see how a small house is reflected. Small figurines of people go about their business, and someone admires beautiful scenery. After all, soon the leaves will fall, and will come Cold winter. But it doesn't feel sad.

The picture with great accuracy conveys the beauty of nature in Russia. Red and orange colors revitalizing effect on a person. Weightless and cheerful mood creates the color of the road. The distant sky adds calmness to the picture.

Vasily Meshkov – Golden autumn in Karelia

The painting "Golden Autumn in Karelia" was painted by V. V. Meshkov. Here is an autumn landscape. In the foreground, blockages of stones flaunt from dampness. dark color or maybe they get little sun and they seem so gloomy, but all that “gold” that is scattered around them makes them an inconspicuous part of the landscape. There are trees between these stones. They are quite weak in the trunk, but their foliage is thick and shimmers in all colors of gold, amber and orange.

The background is also full of colors. The sky, though overcast, still attracts the viewer's eye, even if only briefly.

He used as many colors as possible, many shades. Yellow, carrot, orange, ocher - for the image of foliage, trees and a little earth. Brown-grey for rock formation and gray-blue for the sky. And this is only a small part of the colors that we can catch.

The author chooses an elongated format for the picture. This gives the picture some kind of peculiarity. And it seems that it's not just that. The author wanted to show how infinite nature is, and even placing a picture in such a way he will not be able to fit all its beauty.

"Leaf fall"

Ivan Bunin

Forest, like a painted tower,
Purple, gold, crimson,
Cheerful, colorful wall
It stands over a bright meadow.

Birches with yellow carving
Shine in blue azure,
Like towers, Christmas trees darken,
And between the maples they turn blue
Here and there in the foliage through
Clearances in the sky, that windows.
The forest smells of oak and pine,
During the summer it dried up from the sun,
And Autumn is a quiet widow
He enters his motley tower ...

Autumn never repeats itself, every year it brings something new, delighting and delighting us. I suggest you relax and watch the video of autumn, gentle, touching and very beautiful.

Do you like Russian autumn? Russian artists, poets and musicians have invested in their works their love for this fertile, but fleeting season. Along with the first fogs and the cries of cranes, a dazzling riot of colors suddenly breaks into the monotonous flat landscape. The richest color palette is hard to convey in words. And how to reflect on the canvas this play of highlights on the gold of birches and aspens, the coolness of the morning, the crunch of the first frost or the aching cry of birds flying south? And yet they succeeded.

almost summer

They knew what an early Russian autumn is like, Russian artists. They were able to accurately convey the atmosphere of Indian summer in Central Russia. During the day it is still very warm, but the evenings and mornings are refreshing. The air is as if crystal, and in it floats against the backdrop of flaming cobwebs. Especially indicative is “Autumn. Veranda” brush The canvas was painted in 1911. The artist managed to convey that elusive moment when summer leaves and fills the frosty air of the approaching evening. But this time is also generous, which is clear from the painting by A. M. Gerasimov “Gifts of Autumn”. The still life is simple and uncomplicated: apples on a plate, two sunflowers and a vase with clusters of mountain ash. The berries shine like rubies and throw a reddish glow on everything around.

"Ocher reflection of withering..."

Golden Russian autumn... Russian artists, like no one else, were able to depict this most beautiful time of the year. The forest turns into a painted box, but at the same time, something aching, decadent is felt in this fading beauty. Only Russian people, following Pushkin, can see the charm of the eyes in this “dreary time”. The motif of golden autumn is present in many artists. These beautiful moments are so fleeting that you just want to hold them - at least on canvas.

Levitan and golden Russian autumn

Russian artists, even if they did not belong to the glorious cohort of the Impressionists, were able to convey the mood from the quivering, touching and at the same time amazing nature of October. I. I. Levitan devoted especially many canvases to this fleeting season. His most famous painting is called “Golden Autumn”. Looking at her, the viewer seems to plunge into the warmth and freshness of a fine September day. The road leads into the forest and seems to beckon. “Autumn Day in Sokolniki” is another painting by the artist that perfectly conveys the mood of this season.

Late autumn in the paintings of Russian artists

This really dull time is also masterfully conveyed by many painters. Firstly, the singer of golden autumn Levitan did not shy away from this topic. His canvas “Road in the Village” depicts impenetrable mud, in which steps and cart wheels get stuck. Bare aspens joylessly and forlornly tremble in the wind, and the sky is all overcast in its picture. Summer garden in autumn" tries to find a kind of comfort in the deserted alleys and thin, as if melting in the air, the outlines of the gazebo. The mood of lostness and orphanhood in the face of impending cold weather also shines through in A. Savrasov's painting "Evening". As you can see, autumn is firmly rooted in the painting of Russian artists. Because such anguish and hopelessness is somewhat consonant with the soul of our people.
