The artist is Savrasov
The work of the master played an important role in the formation of a Russian realistic landscape. It is. To. Savrasov belonged to the most important discovery: the direct connection of the feelings and experiences of man with the world of nature. In an ordinary, everyday motive, the artist discovered high beauty and handed it over with sincere excitement. Subtle lyric of the Russian landscape a. Savrasov said: “We must learn from nature. You need to see beauty, understand, love. If there is no love for nature, then you do not have to be an artist… If there is no soul, nothing will happen in painting…””. The 1870s, when this canvas was created, became the time of the highest heyday of the artist’s work.
In 1871-1875, Savrasov lived and worked for the most part in Moscow, working a lot in search of new principles of landscape. Savrasov Spring in the landscape still completely awakened, it is not at all front door and is fraught with the possibility of transformation.
