Victor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov 1848 - 1926 Fairy-tale - epic genre in painting

Self-portrait

Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov was born on May 15, 1848 in the Russian village of Lopyal, Urzhum district, Vyatka province (now Kirov region), in the family of an Orthodox priest. Initially he studied at the theological seminary in Vyatka (1862-67), then, becoming interested in art, he entered the drawing school at the St. Petersburg Society for the Encouragement of Arts, where in 1867-68 he studied under the guidance of I. N. Kramskoy. In 1868-75 he improved his skills in St. Petersburg Academy arts Since 1878 - member of the Association of Traveling Art Exhibitions.

The artist loved to wander through the old Moscow streets. And when he returned home, he often said: “How many miracles I have seen!” In front of St. Basil's Cathedral I could not hold back my tears. What was seen and experienced matured in the film “Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich the Terrible”

Painting “Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich the Terrible”

The figure of the king occupied almost the entire canvas. Ivan the Terrible, dressed in a brocade opashen, in a cap with icons, in embroidered mittens, descended the steep stairs. His appearance was majestic, his face expressed will, great intelligence and at the same time suspicion, embitterment and anger. The strictly consistent color scheme of the painting created the impression of monumentality.

After the massacre of Igor Svyatoslavich with the Polovtsians

In the painting “After the Massacre of Igor Svyatoslavich with the Polovtsians,” the artist wanted to solemnly, sadly and poetically glorify the heroism of Russian soldiers, as did the creator of “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign.” That is why he depicted not the horrors of battle, but the greatness of death for the homeland. Peace emanates from the bodies of the fallen. Beautiful mighty hero, lying with his arms wide open, and the young prince in azure robes personified the idea of ​​selfless service to the Motherland.

Knight at the crossroads

Twilight steppe, a former battlefield with bones scattered across it. The evening dawn is burning down. A prophetic stone stands as a warning at the crossroads of three roads. The knight who stopped in front of him was immersed in deep thought.

Bogatyrs

In the film “Bogatyrs”, the heroes of Russian epics, beloved by the people, appear as defenders of their people. In a combination of courage and pride, intelligence and dexterity, and unbending greatness of spirit, the heroic outpost of ancient Rus' is embodied in Vasnetsov’s painting. The laconic landscape tangibly conveys the vastness and vastness of Russian fields.

Alyonushka

One of the artist’s most poetic creations is the painting “Alyonushka” - an image of a bitter orphan’s lot. A lonely sad girl sits on a stone by the water. There are forests around. And, as if taking part in her grief, they bend over to the orphan aspen tree, guard her slender fir trees, and swallows chirp affectionately over her. IN brown eyes Alyonushka’s grief, and like her grief, the pool is dark and deep. Tears are falling and golden leaves are flying down.

Vasnetsov carried his love for folklore and Russian folk tales throughout his life. His painting “The Flying Carpet” (1880) is full of poetic fabulousness. The silhouette of the carpet, spread out like a strange bird, and the desert steppes far below, and the lucky Ivanushka - all this excites the viewer’s imagination, evoking in him favorite images from childhood.

Airplane carpet

From Vasnetsov's paintings on fairy tales famous “Ivan Tsarevich on a Gray Wolf”, “Three Princesses” underground kingdom", "The Sleeping Princess", "Snow Maiden" and others.

Ivan Tsarevich on Gray Wolf

The Snow Maiden is a character from a folk tale about a girl made of snow who came to life. Like all other characters of Vasnetsov, Snegurochka reflects the ideal of beauty, “pure snow-covered Russia,” and nature completely repeats the mood of the heroine. An unknown forest, scattered fir trees, a gloomy but moonlit sky and snow sparkling under the moon with a bright shine.

Snow Maiden

The painting “The Sleeping Princess” takes us to the very a real fairy tale. Bright rich colors only emphasize the unusualness of what is happening in front of us. Painted Tower, a bear and peacocks sitting on the branches, a jester and a young guslar, emerald green forests - all this looks like a child’s joyful dream. That’s right, we caught just that moment when the princess pricked her finger with a spindle, and a terrible prediction came true - not only the girl, but the entire huge kingdom fell asleep. People, birds, animals, flowers and trees - everyone is sleeping. It seems that not a single breeze dares to disturb the enchanted palace, not a single sound will reach here.

Sleeping princess

The painting “Three Princesses of the Underground Kingdom” depicts three princesses: gold, precious stones and coal - the mysterious depths of the earth. It is written on the plot of the fairy tale of the same name. The peasant son Ivan, descending underground, found the kingdom of gold, precious stones and iron and brought the princesses of these kingdoms to earth. Vasnetsov depicts three princesses in luxurious decorations, symbolizing the richness of the Earth's interior.

Three princesses of the underworld

BOYAN (Bayan), Russian songwriter of the 11th - 12th centuries, composed songs of glory in honor of the exploits of princes. First mentioned in “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign.” The accordion was captured by the artist during the “magical process” - the performance of songs. long hair of this hero fluttering in the wind, large burning eyes stand out on his face, directed somewhere into the distance... The warriors surrounding him personify the force that is called upon to protect Russia.

> born in 1876 in St. Petersburg in the family of a military doctor. The father did not support his son’s aspirations for drawing, and at his father’s request, Bilibin graduated from the Faculty of Law of St. Petersburg University, but at the same time studied at the school of the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts, and also, as a volunteer, entered Repin’s workshop, the Academy of Arts. In 1898 he went to Munich to work in the workshop of Professor Aschbe. Bilibin retained the basics of precise drawing throughout his life. Bilibin spent the summer of 1899 in the Tver province, here his acquaintance with the Russian village and folk art began. In the same year, the Expedition of State Papers began issuing Russian folk tales with drawings by Bilibin. The name Bilibin became widely known throughout Russia. In his person was a master who perfectly conveyed the spirit of joyful and folk fabulousness. To this day, these “Bilibino” tales are an example of high printing technology. This series included “Vasilisa the Beautiful”, “The Tale of Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf”<Рисунок 2 >, “White Duck”, “Frog Princess”, etc. Bilibin fully joined the “World of Art” association. The first resounding success was an impetus for the further development of the artist’s work. He travels to the north of Russia, where he discovered the beauty of wooden architecture and ornamental richness folk costumes and embroidery. The results of the trip showed quite quickly. In 1904, the epic “Volga” with drawings by Bilibin was published. This is one of the best publications of our century. The illustrations of this epic depict the departure of Volga’s squad, the fantastic Indian kingdom, the depths of the sea, birds and fabulous animals. Everything in the publication of this epic was distinguished by taste and grace. In his further development, Bilibin met with the work of Pushkin, and in 1905 “The Tale of Tsar Saltan” and “About the Golden Cockerel” appeared.<Рисунок 3 >. But it wasn’t just fairy tales and epics that interested Bilibin; he was also attracted to other aspects of folk art: sayings and riddles. The drawings for the riddles also contain humor, presented in an attractive and decorative form. The decorative qualities of Bilibin's works, his imagination and deep knowledge of styles attracted him to theatrical work.

During the civil war, Bilibin ended up in Egypt, in 1925 he settled in Paris, but everywhere he was busy with his favorite work of illustrating books. In 1936, Bilibin returned to his homeland, he came to St. Petersburg-Leningrad and began working as a professor at the graphic workshop of the Academy of Arts, earning, as usual, respect from students. But the war began, Bilibin moved from his private apartment to the basement floor of the Academy of Arts, where teachers were located. The harsh conditions of basement life and the lack of proper nutrition undermined Bilibin’s health. He refused to evacuate deep into Russia and continued to work all the time on a series of decorative panels united by a common theme - “Bogatyrs”. His last work was an illustration for the epic “Duke Stepanovich”. It was a detailed preparatory drawing that should have been covered in watercolor, but it remained in pencil. Feeling that his strength was leaving him, Bilibin placed an eight-pointed cross under the top button that held the paper on the board. This was the final touch, the artist’s “last goodbye.” The artist died on the night of February 7-8, 1942.

All the artist’s works are united by one constant quality – exceptional craftsmanship. Bilibin's works teach respect for work and responsibility for every line, for every pattern. In all the artist’s works one can see his love for ancient world Russia, and he carried his admiration for this world throughout his life. His dream of happiness, of using all kinds of images of beauty in life, is captivating. Anyone who retains a youthful soul will find joy in Bilibin’s works.
