There are still people on the back background. Someone is in a hurry on affairs, and someone went for a walk to enjoy beauty.

Despite the fact that the artist had Armenian roots, he was considered a Russian painter, because the national policy of that time was very different from our. In imperial Russia, everyone was considered Russian. There are many information in Wikipedia about Aivazovsky and its winter landscape.

We talked about the picture, the time of biographical facts came.

The artist in the merchant family was born to this day, it was in the summer in 1817. Until 1812, the Aivazovsky family lived in wealth, but with the arrival of the plague of the Father Ivan's Father, he went broke. Drawing an Aivazovsky junior was fond of since childhood, about how his drawings fell to the eyes of the local architect, silently, but it changed the course of events.

Just like the description of the winter landscape of Aivazovsky, his life also attracts the attention of art connoisseurs. After studying at the gymnasium of Simferopol, he was taken to the Imperial Academy of Painting. In 1835, Young Hovhannes received his first awards for the paintings, these were two silver medals. Assessing the talent of a young man in dignity, he was determined by a student of fashionable at the time of the French landscape system. But he banned Hovhannes to write independently, and when a young artist broke the ban, he got into opal, and his paintings were removed from the exhibition.

A small biographical reference: Ivan Konstantinovich Ayvazyan was born on July 29, 1817 in Feodosia in the family of the market of the Basar Older of Armenian Konstantin (Gevorg) Aivazyan. Thanks to the efforts of the farodosi city gallerist A.I. The treasureeeeee, gifted young man in 1833 came to the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. Soon the young talented painter met leading artists, writers, musicians: Pushkin, Zhukovsky, Glinka, Bruhlovy. From 1840, the artist began signing his paintings by the name "Aivazovsky". At 27, he became an academician landscape painting of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. Traveling in different countries and swimming in the seas, participation in the landing operations of the Black Sea Fleet from the Caucasian coast, made awazovsky high professional - marinist. In the metropolitan city, he did not want to live - bought a land plot in his beloved Feodosia and built a house with an art workshop there. According to the last will, Aivazovsky buried in Feodosia, in the courtyard of the Church of St. Sergius, where he was baptized and where he was married. The tombstone - the words of the historian V century, carved in the ancient Armenian, Horaci - says: "Born the mortal, left the immortal memory."

Primarily, Ivan Aivazovsky I remembered the descendants as an outstanding marine. Sea landscapes were given to him perfectly, despite the fact that the artist never wrote them in the open sea. But apart from Marin in the collection of Ivan Konstantinovich, there were paintings with "land" plots. The winter landscapes of Aivazovsky, who fascinate from the first second were real rare.

Most people have the name of Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky associated with paintings on marine topics, but the true connoisseurs of artist's creativity know that he wrote not only Marina. His winter landscapes deserve separate attention.

The painting "Winter Landscape" was written in 1876. Judging by the fact that the road is not yet listed by snow, the author, probably, depicted the beginning of winter. Careful selection of the color scheme makes it possible to understand that the trees are covered with in anem and an icy crust.

To convey the "harsh breath" of winter, the artist used blue, gray, pink, sky-blue shades. When looking at some canvas, it seems that the wind is about to blow, or the noise of trees will be heard.

In all his life, Aivazovsky wrote about 6 thousand pictures. During the life of the painter, 120 of his personal exhibitions took place.

Ivan Ivazovsky was lucky to become a recognized and in demand by the artist. However, despite the universal surrounding adoration,

This is the graphic self-portraits of Aivazovsky. Perhaps, here he is unrecognizable. And more like not on their own picturesque images (see below), and on a good friend, together with which in the youth challenged in Italy, - Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol. Self-portrait on the left - nor give neither Gogol, writing the "Dead Souls" for a diluted draft table!

Another busy is a self-portrait on the right. Why not with a palette and brushes, but with a violin? Because the violin has been a lot of awasy girlfriend for many years. Nobody remembered who presented it with 10-year-old Hovhannes, a boy from a large and poor family of Armenian immigrants in Feodosia. Of course, to hire teachers to parents were not affordable. But it was not needed. Hovhannes learned to play the wandering musicians on the Feodosi Bazaar. Hearing him turned out to be magnificent. Aivazovsky could pick up any tune in hearing any melody.

The violin is a novice artist brought with him to St. Petersburg. He played "for the soul". Often, at a party, when Hovhannes started a useful acquaintance and began to be in the world, he was asked to play a violin. Possessing a quiet character, playing Aivazovsky never refused. In the biography of the composer Mikhail Glinka, written by Vsevolod Asspensky, there is such a fragment: "Once at the puppeteer, Glinka met with a student of the Aivazovsky Art Academy. He sang the wild Crimean song, sitting in Tatar on the floor, swinging and holding a violin at the chin. Aivazovsky's Tatar jackets really liked Glinka, his imagination was attracted from his youth ... Two pitches were entered over time in Lezginka, and the third is in the Ruslan and Lyudmila opera, the third act.

Violin Aivazovsky will take with him everywhere. On the ships of the Baltic squadron, his game entertained the sailors, the violin sang them about the warm seas and a better life. In St. Petersburg, first seeing his future wife Julia Grevs in a secular reception (she was just a governess of master's kids), Aivazovsky did not decide to introduce themselves - instead, he will again take a violin again and drag the Serenad on Italian.

An interesting question - why in the picture Ivazovsky does not rest on the violin in the chin, and keeps her like a cello? Biographer Julia Andreeva explains this feature as follows: "According to numerous testimonies of contemporaries, he kept the violin to the eastern manner, supervised it into the left knee. Thus, he could simultaneously play and sing. "

Self-portrait
1874, 74 × 58 cm

And this self portrait of Aivazovsky is simply present for comparison: unlike not so widely famous previous ones, he is probably familiar to the reader. But if at first Aivazovsky reminded us of Gogol, then on this, with the root Benbankards - Pushkin. By the way, Natalia Nikolaevna, the poet's wife was also of this opinion. When Pushkin's readings at the exhibition at the Academy of Arts presented Aivazovsky, Natalia Nikolaevna kindly noticed that the artist his appearance very much reminds her portraits of young Alexander Sergeevich.



Petersburg. Crossing through the Neva

With the first (and if you discard legends - then the only one) meeting Pushkin asked Aivazovsky two questions. The first - for a situation of dating more than predictable: where does the artist come from? But the second is unexpected and even somewhat familiar. Pushkin asked Aivazovsky, does he not grieve, the southern man, in St. Petersburg?

I knew Pushkin, how much was right! All winters at the Academy of Arts, Young Ohannes, is really terrible, just catastrophically Murz.

Dresventors are walking through the halls and classes, teachers are hung in the down shawls. At the 16-year-old Hovhannes Aivazovsky, adopted in the class of Professor Maxim Vorobyev, the abundant fingers are unreleased from the cold. He will be angry, rushes in at all heating, evaporated with paint jacket, coughs all the time.

Especially difficult at night. The battle-trained moth does not allow to warm up. All members are throwing chills, the tooth does not fall into the tooth, for some reason, the ears are especially overgrown. When the cold does not give to sleep, the Aivazovsky student recalls the Feodosia and the warm sea.

Headquarters Overlikh Rocked by the President of the Academy of Olenina reports about the unsatisfactory Health of Hovhannes: "Academician Ayvazovsky, who was translated several years before Sim in St. Petersburg from the South Territory of Russia and it was from the Crimea that he had always felt unhealthy here and many times already use him I was me in the academic climb, suffering, both before this, and now, in breastning pain, a dry cough, shut down when climbing stairs and strong heartbeat. "

Is it not because "crossing through the Neva", rare for the creativity of the Aivazovsky Petersburg landscape, looks like teeth drives from imaginary cold? It was written in 1877, the Academy long ago behind, and the feeling of penetrating the jewelry of Northern Palmyra was left. The giant ice floes on the Neva took up. Through cold mallic paints of the purple sky, an admiralty needle appears. Cold tiny people in a wagon. Zyabko, anxious - but also fun. And it seems so much new, unknown, interesting - there, ahead, for the vehicle of the injured air.
