Brief history of creation

The idea of \u200b\u200bthe picture "Alenushka" was inspired by the same name of the famous Russian fairy tale "On sister Alynushka and her brother Ivanushka." A prototype for writing the painting was the real girl, which the artist met during his stay in the estate Akhtykka in the summer of 1880. In a random girl, the artist saw, according to him, the sea of \u200b\u200blonging, loneliness and some kind of pure Russian sorrows. The first sketch was made with her, and virtually immediately Vasnetsov decided for himself the concept of a future picture. Despite the simpleness of the plot, Alenushka has an interesting story.

The artist began work on the painting in 1880. Until now, it has been preserved several etudes that preceded the writing "Alenushka": "Pond in Akhtyrka", "Alenushkin Pond", "Sash". Vasnetsov also performed in the colors a few preliminary sketches sitting on a stone girl. The master recognized that when writing the main character on the main floor, he peered into the features of the face of the Mammoth-Daughter of the famous Moscow Petshenate Savva Mamontov. The picture itself was completed in the winter of 1881, after which the author sent it to the exhibition of Movie Artists, which was held in Moscow.

Initially, the picture was given the name "Durice Alenushka". According to some sources, the word "fool" at the time was called orphans or whores. The artist did not immediately mention that the picture has a fabulous plot. It is also known that Vasnetsov repeatedly corrected it and modified. Experts made X-ray pictures, with the result that they managed to install - face, neck, the shoulder of the girl, as well as the coloric gamma paintings in general, were recycled. Apparently, in the first version of "Alenushka" caused a lot of critical comments from the part of friends and colleagues of the artist. Currently, the picture is stored in the Tretyakov Gallery, however, during the first exhibition, on which she was represented, Tretyakov, despite all the efforts of Vasnetsov, did not honor the "Alyonushka" with his attention, and the picture was purchased by A.I. Mamontov for five hundred rubles.

Description and analysis

The picture "Alenushka" is one of the most popular craftsmen written by the Russian folk fairy tale. Young girl sitting on a stone on the banks of the overgrown river, attracts its simple natural beauty. In her sad eyes, deep experiences are read - sadness and at the same time the dream of a happy time that will ever come, maiden dreams and longing for the youngest brother. The artist managed to masterfully convey the common sad-dipped mood in the picture, which is enhanced by the images of nature - fixed trees, slowly floating above the clouds.

In the picture "Alenushka", the Master makes great displays the close relationship of a simple Russian person with the surrounding nature. It seems that nature is also saddened, like the girl herself depicted on the canvas. No fragment of the picture distracts the viewer from the main plot, but, on the contrary, enhances and emphasizes it. Each image detail suggests sad reflections.

Russian people and Russian writers have written a lot of fairy tales transmitted from generation to generation. The merit of Vasnetsov is that he managed through the picturesque means to create convincing artistic images filled with truly People's Russian Spirit.

Working on the plot of the painting, Vasnetsov decided to put a defenseless young girl in a truly wicked place. Apparently, the author sought in such a way to cause sustainable sludge in the hearts of the audience. The artist successfully used the fairy plot to fully reveal an ambiguous and complex Russian character. Despite the young age of the heroine, it is experiencing truly adult sadness. The appearance of a girl with unlocking red hair, dark eyes and a chubby scarlet mouth gives a child with difficult fate.

In fact, in the guise of Alenushka there is no fabulous and fantastic, and all the felt plot is emphasized by the only detail in the composition - a group of swallows sitting above the girl's head. It is known that swallows have long been a symbol of hope. This unusual reception Vasnetsov took advantage of, wanting to balance the full shirt of the main heroine and bring hope for a happy end of the Russian fairy tale.

The artist masterfully filled the general landscape of the picture of the atmosphere of sadness and silence. He perfectly managed to portray the frozen water surface of the pond, the essay and fiery fir. Silence, calm - even the pond reflects the main heroine barely noticeably, very delicately. The young trees are slightly tremble, slightly frowning the sky. The dark green tones of the surrounding landscape contrast with a gentle blush on the face of the girl, and the autumn sorrow - with bright colors on the dilapidated Sarafan of Alenushka. According to the folk giving nature, nature comes to life at the end of the day and gains a magical ability to feel synchronously with man. A similar unique ability to live in a resonance with nature was also inherent in the artist. Therefore, so agreed in the picture of the feelings of Alenushka with the state of the surrounding forest. At the viewer who looks into the picture, the feeling arises that in a moment the fairy tale will continue ...

The lyrical image of a simple Russian girl with a sad look prompted Vasnetsov to writing a picture from which the original Russian spirit believes. This work of a famous painter is distinguished by special mentality and simplicity.

In 2013, Google's search engine in honor of the anniversary since the birthday of the artist on its main page changed the usual logo on the dudel, based on the plot of "Alenushka". Bushes on the backdrop of the logo were redrawn in such a way that the company name was evolved.

The image of the Russian girl-orphan, hardworking and kind, simple and modest, excited the sensitive heart of the artist and inspired to create a picture. However, this picture is not an illustration for a fairy tale. Vasnetsov created a not a fabulous character, but a truthful image of a poor peasant girl. The painting "Alyonushka" was written in 1881, located in the Tretyakov Gallery.

Writing reasoning in the picture

She is so sad and unhappy! And even so beautiful.

Alyonushka red hair. Dark sundress with flowers, white skirt under sundress and light shirt. It doesn't seem to be a festive clothing ... and in general, the picture of the fun does not look at all. Dark color, sad girl. Around her thicket, but she sits over dark water - over the pool. It is sad, thinks all.

It is terrible that she will be rushed with melancholy in the pool. It was a pity that it was her, because she is so beautiful. She would find a guy, and not to be sad here.

She is like a princess in cartoons. But this is the plot of fairy tales. She is sad because of his stupid brother. He fell, of course, in some rework another, and to help her. In my opinion, he drank from the puddles! Well, drank stupid dirty water (with microbes) so poisoned. Practically fell into the hospital! In a fairy tale, this is called - "became a kid". And he drank from the puddles, which was like a form similar to the trail from the intention of the goat.

By the way, and every demons, too, because goat prints! Not without the tricks of evil spirits here and dark forces. So Alyonushka is sitting, and crying. How now to live with such a brother? And if he is hugging him?!

In the picture of autumn. Next to the heroine even small trees - Christmas trees and birch. They look like a little. On the surface of the water. Autumn yellow leaves. Sky gray, rain. Here is - the shower rushing!

I didn't sit here, Alyonushka, but it wet, gets sick. What over such a stupid brother is crying?

When she declares him, and she will make sure, even if you need to go through a hundred tests, then she will also forgive him. It will not be this kind girl to scold him, but will regret. And after, never remembered his stupid act. And in the end, he will fall into anything again. And she again pull him out!

But, however, why not risk? If for you the mountain elder sister gets up, pull out of any trouble.

Over Alyonushka on a bird branch. That would be, as in the cartoon, suggested to her how not to be so kind!

Of course, now it is necessary to help your brother, good. You can write off the age of young such behavior. But after let him answer for himself! In order not to grown quite a goat.

Picture "Alenushka" is the most popular product of the Russian painter V.M. Vasnetsova. He portrayed early autumn or the end of summer, as the reed and leaflets on the trees are not too green. Although you can already see the crimson and golden leaves, which fell on the surface of the water.

Starting from 1869, Vasnetsov began to put his works in mobile and academic exhibitions. Creativity of painter multilateral, it includes:

• Religious and historical stories
• National Epos.
• Genre scenes

In the pictures of this master, a hut was created on the couch legs and the church in Abramtsev, and the facade of the Tretyakov Gallery was created. The canvas "Alenushka" is very popular, Vasnetsov wrote him on the plot of the fairy tale "Sister Alyonushka and Brother Ivanushka".

Picture history

The artist in 1880 painted landscapes in Akhtyrka, however, the image of a fabulous sad and biglast girl did not come out of his head. But he could not fold him together until he saw a simple girl once. She struck the artist with his Russian spirit.

This meeting with a stranger helped the painter to embody the image into the picture. Victor first demonstrated it in 1881 at a mobile exhibition, on which she received the most enthusiastic and high reviews.

Description of the picture

Only one heroine is included in the composition of the work - Rusolamaya and a young girl, dressed in a Russian folk dress. According to her a fairy tale, she did not have parents, and Brother Ivanushka was for her the closest man. That is why at first the artist first wanted to call the "fool of Alenushka", because the orphans were called so much.

In the picture you can see how the dark forest surrounded it from all sides. He does not want to let go of the hero of his captivity. Tears girls drip into the water. Most likely, the artist wanted to warn about the danger, which will happen to her brother or has already occurred. Alyonushka sits in the old gray sundress, with disheveled hair and barefoot.

She is full of thinking about Ivanushka, suddenly Baba Yaga turned him into a goat. The artist managed to perfectly describe the landscape of the work, which is perfectly combined with the character. Viewer Nothing can distract from Alenushka.

Looking at a brilliant picture, it seems that the heroine finds a consolation from this pond. The girl as if dissolved in bright colors and becomes part of the picture. Her humility and scratched legs not only attract the audience, but also enchant to her clean image.

In accordance with folk signs, at the end of the day, nature acquires the ability to transfer human emotions. The back background is drawn from the Achtynka pond, the artist portrayed sinister dark green spruce and lead gray sky. Under the legs of the girl spreads a very gloomy pond, which scares people with their depth, he covered with yellow leaves.

This work Vasnetsov hills longing, because anyone becomes sorry for a poor heroine. The painter managed to draw a realistic and heartfelt event. For her writing, he used mainly green paint. The canvas turned out such a bright that the impression was created as a pond, the forest and Alenushka will revive and appear in front of the audience. In those times, criticism was considered the picture of the best.

Despite the fact that the most popular work Viktor Vasnetsova It was written on the reasons of the Russian folk fairy tale, picture "Alenushka" You can not call a simple illustration. The artist pursued a different goal - not so much to recreate the famous plot, how much to "revive" a fabulous character, make an image close and understandable, to organically enter into the environment, create a psychologically accurate portrait of the heroine.

Vasnetsov recognized the Roerich in the fact that "Alenushka" is his favorite work. He began writing a picture in the summer of 1881 in Akhtyrka, near Abramseva - the estates of Savva Mamontov, where the best artists were going to. And ended the work in winter in Moscow, where the artist often visited musical evenings from the Tretyakov - perhaps this is one of the reasons that the picture came out so lyric.

An old sundress with faded flowers, disheveled hair, hacked bare feet give out in Alyonushka not an abstract fairy character, but a completely real girl from the people. Although, in terms of face, many guess the similarity with the daughter of Savva Mamontov Vera - the very one that posed Serov for the "Girls with Peaches", all the other details indicate that the peasant was the prototype of the heroine. Vasnetsov saw her in Akhtyrka, where he was at that time.

This version is confirmed by the words of the artist himself: "The picture as if I lived in my head for a long time, but I really saw her when I met one proliferate girl. So much longing, loneliness and purely Russian sadness was in her eyes ... some special Russian spirit had sleigh from her. "

Initially, Vasnetsov called the picture "Festuric Alenushka", however, regarding the artist, there is nothing offensive or ironic to his heroin. The fact is that the word "foolish" in those times called yurodiv or orphans. Recall the fairy tale - after the death of parents, Alyonushka and her brother Ivanushka remain alone, and desperate to find a naughty brother, Alenushka feels round orphans, lonely and abandoned. Some critics insisted that this is not a fabulous image, but the embodiment of the orphan shares of the poor peasants, which one could meet in every village.

The general mood of the artist creates with the help of accurate landscape details: a quiet autumn wilting nature, dark ohwow at the feet of Alenushka, muted tones, gray sky in clouds, fallen leaves on the shore and in water as if underline the longing and hopelessness on the face of the heroine. At the same time, the landscape cannot be called conditional or abstract - this is recognizable nature of the middle strip of Russia.

It was one of the first in the history of Russian painting of paintings, where the internal experiences of a person were transmitted through a finely reproduced state of nature. Given the fact that the picture was created based on fairy tales, it is quite justified - psychological parallelism is inherent in many works of oral folk art.

how will the fate of "Girls with Peaches" - Mammoth faith.
