How wonderful returning to your home from distant lands! On Maximov’s canvas, we can observe an amazing scene of a girl returning home who was educated away from home. In those days, getting a girl’s education was considered stupid or whim — it was believed that the girl should have good manners and study at home.
Picasso creates this picture in 1810. This creation is written by him in the style of cubism (its analytical type). Such cubism still bears the characteristic name of volumetric. The whole image consists of separate parts. Each fragment is separated from each other and fancifully dispersed throughout the space of the entire canvas.
The picture of Yuri Raksha “My Irina” was painted in 1969. It fully embodies the idea of the spiritual and physical beauty of man. The canvas depicts the artist's wife, Irina. A prose writer, a member of the Writers' Union, Irina Raksha became famous for many of her works. But besides this, she constantly supported her husband, illuminating not only his life, but also his paintings.
“The Way to Calvary” is one of the most famous paintings of the founder of the dynasty of Dutch painters Peter Brueghel the Elder. It refers to the Brussels period of the artist. The composition of the canvas is quite traditional and was used, among other things, by Bruegel's contemporaries - for example, Peter Artsen.
Savrasov is an amazing landscape painter. It would seem that this is what is depicted on the canvas? Just a riverbank, which is open to space, but a little further begins a mixed forest. And just where the river seemed to open, a herd of cows appeared on its shore and went down to the water itself, to a watering place. And very close to the shepherds, they make sure that all the cows get drunk, and then again drive to the pasture.
The painting depicts a mighty castle, which, apparently, has not stood for a century among sharp rocks. The background is a formidable, almost black sky. Castle windows reflect a red glow, possibly of a battle raging nearby. The sky filled with bloody colors should symbolize the imminent onset of war.
