1912; canvas, oil; 89 x 98 State Tretyakov Gallery. Still lifes by Alexander Vasilievich Kuprin are distinguished by a carefully thought-out composition. All objects are selected and arranged so as to create a harmonious harmony of form and color. Not random chaos, but perfectly ordered, carefully verified order of beauty of everyday things.
The canvas depicts a soldier who is leaning against a birch. He hugs her so gently as his girlfriend. It can be seen that the soldier was not at home for a long time and the birch personifies his native Russian land. It is likely that he was in a foreign country for a long time and was very homesick. Around the hero are birches, and at the bottom there is a small village.
The beginning of the twentieth century is characterized in Russian art as the heyday of the still life genre. The exclusion of the plot, and sometimes even any connection between the objects depicted on the same canvas, did not deprive the painting of meaning at all. Now the main focus was on color and shape. It is these two components that clearly dictate their properties in the work of Peter Konchalovsky "Still Life".
The painting "Bacchus, the singing cupid" was painted in oil on canvas in 1828. The genre is a mythological picture. In the center of the picture is a beautiful companion of the god Bacchus (Dionysus in ancient Greek mythology), which allows the baby pressed to it to drink from a golden jug. Bacchante turned to face the viewer. It is framed by dark hair with a wreath of grape leaves woven into them.
P. Sokolov is known as the first Russian artist who decided to paint a portrait exclusively in watercolor, and laid the foundation for a new genre in Russian painting. For the first half of the 19th century, P. Sokolov’s actions as a portrait painter were truly progressive, which is why the artist was repeatedly invited to paint portraits of famous personalities living both in Russian and in the French court.
