The artist is Savrasov
Among the remarkable phenomena of Russian art, an important place belongs to the landscape genre. Landizers have discovered in their paintings the substantial world of ordinary rural nature. They showed her special beauty and her deep relationship with a person who is constantly living among her. Poetically depicting fields and forests, they filled their images with social meaning, remaining in the area of landscape artists-democrats. Savrasov was one of the first creators of a realistic landscape. Previously and more fully than his contemporaries, he expressed his main features in the film “Rooks flew”. In simple motives he elected, in thin and at the same time strong painting, a master with a deep poetic feeling, like no other, revealed the soul of Russian nature, its soft charm.

And. Levitan. The spring of 1871 was especially happy and fruitful for the artist.

The picture directly expresses the dramatic connection of human life with the life of nature. Majestically and beautifully spring Volga floods. Solemnly floating ice floes along the river spreading to miles. But the element carries people and anxiety. And people bravely fight her. On a fragile boat, they make their way through the ice floes to the flooded village.
