Description plan Polenov overgrown pond. On a first-come, first-served basis
The canvas amazed with its lyricism and a sense of sincere love for Russian nature, silence and serenity. The painting "Overgrown Pond" was painted by the great Russian artist Vasily Polenov in 1879 and at the same time was demonstrated at the seventeenth Traveling Exhibition, falling in love with all connoisseurs of true art.
When painting, Polenov, with his inherent great talent, uses all sorts of shades of rich emerald green, depicting a mysterious corner of a century-old park. The dark green color in the shade of the park freely shimmers in the most delicate range, illuminated by the rays of the midday sun, the tops of trees in the distance. Shades of green and emerald are distinguished by their peculiar beauty and many incredible nuances. You will not find two identical shades on the artist's canvas.
Vasily Polenov's paintings fascinate with a philosophical outlook on life, love for the world and Russian nature. They teach us to appreciate the beauty of the world around us.
Mysteriousness and tranquility are inherent in the pond, overgrown with delicate water lilies and green tentacles of algae. You look at the landscape and imagine how late in the evening, around midnight, mermaids are sitting on a wooden footbridge, dropping their scaly tails into the darkness of the water, combing their long silky hair with slow, smooth movements and patiently waiting for a stray passer-by.
The other bank, although overgrown with tall grass and modest wildflowers, is illuminated by bright rays that pierced through the crowns of tall trees. There is an irresistible desire to take off your shoes and walk on the grass, feeling an inextricable connection with the native land.
A light female figure is visible in the depths. The girl sits on a bench, and in her solitude does not notice anything around, leaving in her memories of the past, or maybe she is already thinking about the future. What does it bring to her? Who knows? What will the quiet breeze whisper to her, quietly slipping through the trees, in this corner of the park by the pond overgrown with mud?
The place really disposes to reflection: a hidden calm and only a barely audible splash of a fish that has gone to the depths, or a quiet roll call of birds are easily woven into a sensitive silence. Even a light breeze does not disturb this peace. There are no ripples on the water, not a leaf or a blade of grass moves. Everything seemed to stand still.
Peering into the corner of a long-term shady park, you seem to be imbued with a sense of the harmony of life, admiring the beauty and grandeur of nature. A dreamy mood descends on the soul. The figure of a woman in a light dress, which, like a ray of light, can be seen in the background of the picture, also corresponds to this mood. The age-old trees, which seemed to have surrounded her, seemed to offer her a refuge from the gloomy thoughts of everyday life. The lyrics of the picture are expressed in the unity of nature and the female soul, their silent inner dialogue.
Lines from the poems of A.S. Pushkin involuntarily arise from the depths of memory. - "my sorrow is bright."
The landscape is built on a highly emotional and visual experience. A brightly lit green lawn with daisies, lit by the dim sun, is located next to the mysterious parkland.
Through the trees covered with haze, the blue of the high sky with lambs of clouds is visible, as a contrast to the age-old trees of the old park.
Now the painting "Overgrown Pond" by the truly Russian artist Vasily Polenov is on display at the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
Vasily Polenov's painting "Overgrown Pond" was painted in 1879 and has been pleasing with peace and tranquility for more than 100 years. The artist depicted a pond lost in time in the shade of age-old trees.
A quiet corner of Russian nature, immersed in greenery. The feeling of coolness is provided by dense crowns, their reflection in the mirror of the reservoir revives it and gives it a special charm. Islets of duckweed and floating leaves of water lilies like vignettes decorate the “photographs” of trees.
The banks of the pond and the bridge are drawn with great care. The author uses diagonals to create volume and perspective.
Peering into the depths of the picture, you notice a figure of a woman sitting on a bench. The presence of a stranger does not cause any concern. Her pleasure from a summer day and a blessed place is transmitted.

Vasily Polenov was born into an old noble family. Vasily's father Dmitry Vasilyevich was a famous historian, archaeologist and bibliographer. Mother Maria Alekseevna is a children's writer and amateur artist.
In the St. Petersburg house of the Polenovs, where artists, university professors, musicians, scientists gathered, an intellectual and artistic atmosphere reigned, which contributed to the formation of the personality of the future artist.
The first attempts to depict on canvas what they saw and amazed the imagination date back to the mid-1850s, when the Polenov family went to their dacha in Tsarskoe Selo.
In 1855, the Polenovs moved to Imochentsi of the Olonets Territory, having received land under the family division. Among the pristine northern nature, the father of the future artist built a spacious house on the banks of the Oyat River. Here Vasily got acquainted with the way of peasant life and folk art. In 1861-1863 Polenov studied at the Olonets gymnasium.
Also in the work of Polenov were reflected the impressions of trips to the estate of the grandmother on the mother's side in the Tambov province. She, being the daughter of the famous architect Nikolai Lvov, after the death of her parents was brought up in the house of Gabriel Derzhavin, knew Russian poetry well and loved to tell her grandchildren Russian folk tales and epics.
A decisive role in defining Vasily's life path was played by his meeting with Pavel Chistyakov, who taught him the basics of painting and drawing in 1859-1861.
Then Vasily studied simultaneously at St. Petersburg University and the Academy of Arts. Upon graduation, having successfully completed the program, Polenov received a large gold medal and the right to travel abroad.
Polenov visited a number of private collections of paintings in Moscow, Kiev, then went to Vienna, Munich, Venice, Florence, Naples, Rome.
In Italy, he met a major industrialist and passionate art lover Savva Ivanovich Mamontov, whose friendship was of great importance in Polenov's life.
“Feeling talented people well” and himself versatile gifted, Mamontov and his wife Elizaveta Grigorievna, also endowed with a sensitive soul, receptive to art and rare kindness, constituted the center of a kind of artistic circle in Italy. Polenov became especially close here with Repin.
Here, in Italy, Polenov fell in love with Marusya Obolenskaya, a participant in many artistic ventures in the Mamontov house. She died suddenly after contracting measles from Mamontov's children. In 1873, Polenov, at the cemetery where the girl was buried, painted a sketch "Cemetery with cypresses", which he presented to Mamontov's wife.
In the same year, he took a leave of absence and returned to Russia. For two months he lived in Imochentsi with his parents.
In the fall, he continued his retirement business trip in Paris. His stay in Paris coincided with the first performances of the Impressionists. There was a desire to “start all over again”. Polenov goes to the north of France, to Normandy, to the sea, to the small town of Veul. For a month and a half from July to September 1874, Polenov painted many excellent landscapes and sketches there.
During his retirement period, Polenov also worked on several sketches for various historical subjects.
Summing up his life abroad, Polenov, among the tried types of painting: historical, genre, landscape, seascape, portrait, animals, chose the landscape genre, determining that his talent is closest to this.
But in his subsequent paintings, one can feel a closeness to itinerant movement (after a trip abroad, while resting in Imochentsi, he painted a portrait of the narrator of epics, Nikita Bogdanov). His work will also be affected by his participation in 1876 as part of the Russian volunteer army in the struggle of the Serbs for liberation from the Turkish yoke (he will write several battle scenes). In 1880, Polenov turned to architectural creativity: he took part in the design, construction and decoration of the interior of the church. He made a sketch of the iconostasis and several paintings for him.
In 1881 Polenov began work on the painting Christ and the Sinner. To recreate the historically truthful setting of events related to the life of Christ, Polenov went to Egypt, Syria, Palestine, on the way he visited Greece. During the trip, he created many sketches of an independent character. They reflect the artist's individual perception of architectural or landscape motives, they are filled with emotional power, thanks to which natural motives have acquired an almost symbolic sound. The sketches of 1881-1882 were exhibited in a single collection at the XIII Exhibition of the Itinerants in 1885.
In the winter of 1883-1884, Polenov lived in Rome, creating sketches of Roman Jews. In 1885, in an estate near Podolsk, where the artist spent the summer, he worked on a charcoal drawing on canvas in the size of a future painting. The painting itself was painted during 1886-1887 in Moscow, in the office of Savva Mamontov in the house on Sadovo-Spasskaya.
In parallel with the work on the creation of the picture, since 1882, Polenov taught at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, replacing Savrasov, and led his class until 1895.
In 1899, Polenov began work on a series of paintings from the life of Christ.
He made a second trip to the East. The main theme of almost all the paintings of the cycle is the atmosphere of harmony in an ideally beautiful country, the harmony of human relations among the harmony of nature.
Polenov strove to bring art and beauty into life, to introduce them to all people living on the planet. This united the artist with Savva Mamontov, in 1900, together with him, he began to create the Section for promoting factory and village theaters at the Moscow Society of People's Universities.
In 1908, his work on the paintings of the Gospel series, which he considered "the main work of his life", was completed. 58 paintings of the cycle were shown in St. Petersburg, then 64 paintings were exhibited in Moscow and other cities. The exhibitions were a great success.
It was sometimes difficult and sometimes impossible for the artist to convey his thoughts and feelings by means of fine art, and while working on a series of paintings from the life of Christ, he worked on the manuscript "Jesus from Galilee", as well as on a literary and scientific work - an explanation for the picture "Among teachers ". During the period of work on the Gospel cycle, he created spiritual musical compositions - the All-Night Vigil and the Liturgy.
In 1915, according to Polenov's project, a house was built on Presnya for a section of folk theaters with decoration and costume workshops and a theater hall (in 1921 it was named the "House of Theater Education named after Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov"). The artist worked in the section until the October Revolution.
Polenov's educational activities are also associated with his manor house, built according to his own design on the banks of the Oka. The compositional and spatial solution of the house had no analogies to the Russian estate architecture of the 19th century. Equally individual is each of the interiors of the house - portrait, library, dining room, study, workshop. The taste and skill of the artist, his creative individuality, his aestheticism were invested in the decoration of each of them, in any of its details. The originality of the interiors was emphasized by ancient musical instruments from the collection, which the artist painstakingly collected throughout his life. This is how painting and architecture, music and theater, and applied arts merged in Polenov's house.
From the very beginning, the house was intended not only to accommodate the large family of the artist and friends and students who came to him, but was built as a museum and an art gallery, where collections of several generations of the Polenov family were to be accommodated. The house was supposed to become the cultural center of the entire district, a kind of folk art academy. All the equipment for the museum (cabinets, showcases, shelves) was made by local craftsmen according to Polenov's drawings and drawings.
The museum was open to visitors, and the artist himself liked to take tours around it, showing numerous art galleries, in which one could see the works of Polenov of different years, the works of his friends and students. After the revolution, Polenov organized a number of theatrical circles among peasants in Borka and Tarusa. Performances were regularly staged in the manor house.
The last great artistic work of the seventy-seven-year-old Polenov was a diorama - a small light theater with illuminated paintings of a trip around the world, for the creation of which the artist used his sketches brought from trips to different countries and Russia. He designed and made a portable folding box for a diorama with his own hands and showed it himself in schools in the district.
Polenov celebrated his 80th birthday in Bork in 1924. Here came the news that he had been awarded the title of People's Artist. Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov died in 1927.
The texture of the canvas, high-quality paints and large-format printing allow our reproductions by Vasily Polenov to match the original. The canvas will be stretched onto a special stretcher, after which the picture can be framed in the frame of your choice.
This picture perfectly characterizes Polenov as a colorist; a number of philosophical images of our fleeting time are presented here. For this reason, this canvas has something in common with the painting "Grandmother's Garden", which was written a year before. The genre of this work is more often defined as “narrative landscape”. The picture has a whimsical background. In general, the picture is one large canvas, where the artist collected all his impressions. Polenov was engaged in painting even before he went to the Russian-Turkish war. Polenov spent the summer of 1877 in the village of Petrushki near Kiev, it was here that the sketch was created, which became the basis of this canvas. The sketch lay until the autumn of 1878, at that very moment Polenov moved from the Arbat to the then Moscow outskirts, to Khamovniki. A little later Leo Tolstoy settled here too, having bought a manor house nearby. Many who know about Tolstoy's ideas, which were so to Polenov's liking, call this coincidence prophetic. But they met much later.
It was here that the artist was struck by the beauty of the old garden, these impressions were also reflected in the painting. The painting was shown in 1879 at the 17th traveling exhibition, the audience was delighted. One of Polenov's students, Levitan, painted his picture like this, calling it as well.
Ballad of Time
Old footpaths with a path that has been trampled almost to whiteness give the image of the pond a nostalgic sound. The model for the figure of the woman was the artist's sister, V. D. Khrushchev.
The academic tradition makes itself felt in the compositional structure of this Polenovskoy work.
In accordance with it, the artist builds two planes - the background, painted rather "approximately", and the detailed foreground.
The water lilies, as well as the details of the shore, are written very carefully; these everyday images contrastly complement the solemn image of the park, which is lost outside the picture.
Overgrown pond
1 option for writing a description
Painting by V. Polenov "Overgrown Pond" brings peace, harmony and tranquility. When creating it, the artist used dark tones, but this does not make it gloomy, rather, on the contrary, lively and open. Most of all, green is present on the canvas.
But what is shown in this picture? Why is it so eye-catching? The plot is pretty simple. An old pond, with lilies floating in it and a bridge going forward, to which a path leads. On all sides it is surrounded by tall, dense and green, crowns of trees.
But what conclusion can be drawn by reasoning about the "Overgrown Pond" depicted in the painting by V. Polenov? What time of year did the author want to show? What is the meaning of this canvas? The tempting pond, glistening with the smooth surface of the waters, beckons a casual passer-by. Judging by the lush greenery, we can conclude that now is the very beginning of summer or the end of spring. It is at this time that nature reaches its peak. Most likely, this is a dear to the heart, calm, quietly sharud by foliage, summer evening. The picture of Russian nature, the very one that has surrounded us since childhood, is close to every person and evokes deep reflections about life and naive, romantic dreams about the future.
2 version of the composition 6 and 5 grade.
In 1879, the great Russian artist Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov painted the painting "Overgrown Pond". And it is still considered the most popular work of this author. Most of all in this picture, the amazingly accurately conveyed beauty and tranquility of pristine nature amazes. For a moment it may seem that you are there now: you breathe fresh air, feel the warmth from the sun, listen to the birds singing and enjoy the incredible beauty of this place.
In the foreground of the picture is a coastline covered with young green grass and white flowers. A pond with dark green opaque water is drawn next to it. This is an old pond. And on its surface, water lilies with already blossoming flowers grow. If you look closely, you can see how reeds, trees, a bridge and even a blue sky are reflected on the smooth surface of the water as in a mirror. It's amazing with what accuracy the author conveys the beauty of nature.
The other side is shown in the background of the painting. It is overgrown with reeds and it is impossible to approach it. A dense and dense forest is drawn behind it. When you look at it, the first thing that catches your eye is an old and mighty poplar that grows away from other trees. There is a bridge next to the poplar. It is made very skillfully and you can immediately see the person who made it a jack of all trades. Probably, in those days, when water lilies did not yet grow in the water, and the pond was clean and not abandoned, children came here to swim and jump from this bridge.
The only person depicted in the picture is a girl. She is sitting on a bench, and in her hands is an open book. Probably, the girl wanted to retire from her thoughts and therefore came to this abandoned place. Or she just wanted to admire nature. Or maybe this is a meeting place for a romantic date, and she is waiting for someone. This is the beauty of this picture, everyone comes up with a description of it.
When you look at the painting "Overgrown Pond" you involuntarily begin to feel calm and peacefulness. Probably, this is exactly what the author of the picture was trying to achieve. And that's why he uses so much green. With the help of this painting, the author tries to show his feelings: delight in the landscape, love for nature, thirst for life.
I really liked this picture. This is exactly the work of Polenov, which you want to look at for hours. The incredible accuracy with which the author conveyed the beauty of this place and makes this picture especially beautiful.
