When the picture of a winter evening in the Crimea was painted. Painting "Winter Evening" by Krymov: description
Essay based on the painting by N.P. Krymova " Winter evening».
N.P. Krymov is a famous Russian artist, a master of lyrical landscape, who grew up in a family of painters. He passionately loved nature, loved to depict it, revealing its close connections with man. Krymov’s landscapes are originally Russian; they are imbued with the artist’s love for the Motherland, its majestic and quiet nature. Krymov especially loved to depict winter. This is what I. V. Porto wrote about this artist: “Kept in Tretyakov Gallery some winter landscapes, created by Krymov during this period: they depict cozy, snow-covered small houses of a provincial town, illuminated by the golden light of the setting frosty sun. The mood of the fading one is perfectly conveyed winter day. Evening is one of Krymov’s favorite states of nature. Reproducing the edge of day and evening is exactly that “little bit” in Krymov painting that he so often spoke about to his students. In the paintings, this short time seems to sharpen the whole essence of nature, its colors become fleeting and changeable, the shadows thicken, the horizon brightens, the sun flashes on the snow with unexpected golden and ocher-lilac spots. It seems that a few more moments - and twilight will extinguish this beautiful time of day.”
We see such a borderline plot, a reproduction of the edge of day and evening, in the painting by I.P. Krymov “Winter Evening”, created in 1919. The plot centers on a Russian village in winter. On foreground A huge plain covered with snow appears before us. We see a small river frozen in ice and dusted with snow. On its bank there is a small bush, next to it little birds quietly lurk, escaping from the frost. The deep snow is crowned with bluish-purple evening shadows, and the rays of the setting sun fall softly on it. It’s as if we feel this crunchy snow under our feet, a slight invigorating frost, and glorious, clear air. “The picture is built diagonally: the approaching
shadow, paths rush upward, to houses with tall trees, to the center of the picture. People walking along a path, horses carrying a cart of hay, create the impression of movement, fill the picture with life, and indicate the connection between man and nature.” In the center of the picture we see village houses shrouded in snow. Behind them rise powerful old reddish-brown trees, whose powerful crowns reach up to the greenish-gray sky. In the background there are two small houses, a rural church, and a forest stretching into the distance. The picture creates an amazing mood, conveying special condition peace and tranquility reigning in the evening winter nature. Looking at this landscape, I involuntarily recall Fet’s poems:
I'm Russian, I love the silence given to the nasty,
Under the canopy of snow, monotonous death,
Forests under the caps or in gray frost,
Yes, the river is ringing under the dark blue ice.
This poet was characterized by a special aesthetic perception of nature. It seems that I.P. Krymov also perceived nature. V. Favorsky wrote in his memoirs about this artist: “His works amaze with the perfection of design and colors, and all this is imbued with musicality, different each time, in each landscape.” Indeed, this landscape is surprisingly musical. We seem to be immersed in the silence of the early evening hours, broken only by the creaking of sleigh runners carrying hay and the muffled sounds of bells. How good is this fading winter day!
The artist mainly uses cold tones and shades: soft bluish, greenish, lilac, gray. This landscape creates a mood of peace, joy, and encourages philosophical reflection.

Introduction.
Today our lesson is devoted to working on a descriptive essay based on a painting by the artist N.P. Krymov. In the history of painting, N.P. Krymov is known as an excellent master of lyrical landscape, as a poet of modest Russian nature. Our task is to get acquainted with Krymov’s paintings and create our own work of art - an essay based on the painting. Just recently, winter came to visit us, and the new year has begun.
Blue twilight, light powder, an old Christmas tree, a fairy tale, the flickering and crackling of candles, and prickly frost, and a scattering of star rays.
This is exactly how the master of landscape painting N.P. saw winter. Krymov.
We met and talked about the painting and landscapes of Krymov. You should have prepared a report at home about the life of N.P. Krymova.
The student reads a message about the artist.
The work of Nikolai Petrovich Krymov is inextricably linked with the development of Russian fine art. His talent was most fully manifested in landscape painting. Along with painting, he was engaged in graphics and theatrical decoration. Krymov was a happy artist creative destiny, who gained early recognition. Perhaps, rare case, when a work written by a second-year student at the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture was purchased by the Tretyakov Gallery.
N.P. Krymov was born in Moscow on May 3 (April 20, old style) 1884 in the family of the artist Pyotr Alekseevich Krymov. The father of the future painter taught drawing in Moscow gymnasiums and was a good portrait painter. Pyotr Alekseevich noticed his talent early youngest son, his extraordinary drawing abilities. After Krymov graduated from real school, the father himself began to prepare his son for exams at the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, which he successfully passed, and in 1904 he was accepted among the first. In those years, the school had a very strong and authoritative staff of teachers. After graduating from college in 1911, Krymov embarked on an independent creative path as a mature, established artist. In the 1910s, the young artist continued to develop the problem of landscape painting in his work.
Krymov lived a long, 74-year life, which, it would seem, passed without visible unrest or tragedy. But this is probably a special inner strength and mental fortitude a man who, like the people of his generation, suffered three wars and three revolutions. He is one of the best landscape painters of the 20th century, who was also known as a painting theorist and as a brilliant teacher (in 1919-1930 the artist taught for a long time at the Prechistensky Practical Institute). This artist’s teachers were such masters as V.A. Serov and K.A. Korovin. N. Krymov was an opponent of any experiments in the field of art and thanks to this he described all living things as they are.
The artist was a follower of the classical direction of painting that developed in the 19th century. He tried to put together and generalize this direction. He had a large number of students whom he taught according to his own system. And further more students learned according to his system. Distinctive feature This artist was that he instilled in each of his students a sense of individuality. Krymov is a true adherent of the classical direction of painting; he left a deep mark on the painting of the 20th century in Russia.
We have already looked at the artist’s paintings. Let's remember them. (“Windy Day”, “After the Rain”, “Dawn”, “Morning”)
What does the artist depict in his paintings, what does he glorify? (He glorifies Russian nature in his landscapes, modest in appearance, but full of charm)
Krymov dedicated a lot of his paintings to winter. Winter was my favorite time of year. What kind of paintings are these? (“Winter Evening”, “Winter Day”, “Winter”, “Pink Winter”, “Winter Landscape”)
Krymov painted from life only in the summer. He painted the winter landscapes from memory, but despite this, they are very reliable. He could believably convey the state of nature and lighting. Krymov's winter landscapes could give a detailed and colorful story about this time of year. Krymov never sought to create huge canvases. Such is the painting “Winter Evening”. In my youth, this was due to limited funds. During his years of study, the artist was in need. He had no money for painting supplies. He used those paints that wealthy students cleaned from their canvases. Later he told his students: “It is not at all necessary to paint huge canvases with broad strokes. You can paint with one small brush on a small canvas and the paint will cost you a penny.” In mature years big sizes The masters could not add anything to the canvas’s individuality. His small-sized landscapes have always remained monumental.
Let's turn to the painting “Winter Evening”. Look carefully at the picture.
What mood does it create in you when you look at Krymov’s painting “Winter Evening”?
(This canvas depicts a small village in winter. Looking at the picture, the viewer has a feeling of peace, calm and warmth, despite the fact that the author depicted winter.)
Did the artist manage to convey the beauty of a winter evening?
(We look at the picture and seem to feel the soft flowing snow, illuminated by the rays of the setting sun, the silence of the early evening hour. The artist admires the evening twilight. He wants to show how beautiful our Russian nature is!)
What attracts you in the picture at first glance? What signs of the coming evening do you see?
(Deep snow with lilac-blue shadows, illuminated by the rays of the setting sun. A light stripe of bluish snow shades the sky and emphasizes the darkened foreground. These are primarily long afternoon shadows. The color of the snow, bluish with a violet tint, also indicates the coming evening.)
What is the peculiarity of the construction of the picture, its composition? Where is the artist located?
(We can assume that the picture was painted by the artist from the opposite bank. At that moment he was on a hill. The picture is built diagonally: an looming shadow, paths rush upward, towards houses with tall trees, to the center of the picture. People walking along the path, horses , carrying a cart with hay, create the impression of movement, fill the picture with life, and indicate the connection between man and nature.
The artist is on long distance from the village: this is emphasized by the small size of the horses depicted, obscure small figures of people, houses and buildings in which no details are visible. The trees act as a mass.)
How did the artist depict the sky in the early evening?
(The author uses various shades in his work white for the image of snow. Turquoise color the ice on the river is colored. The artist conveys the color of the evening sky using light greenish and yellow tones. Greenish-gray, mauve-pink sky in places. The artist depicted this color of the sky because the blue sky, in combination with the yellow rays of the sun illuminating it, acquires a T greenish tint.)
How are the trees depicted?
(In the background of the canvas, the painter depicted a winter village. Behind it is a forest consisting of oaks or poplars. It stands out as a dark mass against the background of a light, greenish-yellow sky. On the right is a mighty pine tree with twisted branches and a lush crown. On the left is a dense deciduous forest , and in the center of the picture are tall domed trees. The trees are painted in a reddish-brown color, which they acquire from the rays of the setting sun.)
Describe the village.
(The village is one of the main objects of the canvas. It is a small group of buildings drowned in dense snowdrifts. Reflections of the sun are visible in the windows of one of the houses. On the left, a little away from the residential buildings, the dome of the bell tower is visible.)
V. Favorsky, in his memoirs about N.P. Krymov, will write: “His works amaze with the perfection of design and colors, and all this is imbued with musicality, different each time, in each landscape.” Let's try to voice the picture. What could the artist hear?
(Deep silence, broken only by the slight creaking of snow under the steps of those walking, the subtle squealing of sleigh runners; the quiet singing of birds, the muffled sounds of a bell...)
What colors did Krymov use to describe a winter evening?
(The artist used mainly cold colors: blue, grayish-blue, silver-blue snow, greenish-gray sky, which convey the feeling of a frosty evening. But he also used warm colors: reddish-brown trees; yellowish-brown walls of houses and barns ; yellowish reflection of windows illuminated by the sun. These colors convey a feeling of comfort, tranquility, warmth.)
What do you feel, what do you think about when you look at this landscape? Describe your feelings.
(I really like his canvas and evokes the warmest feelings. I want to visit this beautiful corner of Russian nature, enjoy the silence rural life in the early evening, breathe in the fresh frosty air.)
Generalization.
Indeed, Krymov’s small landscapes, dedicated to modest corners of the Russian village, amaze not with their external attractiveness, but with their strict depiction and laconicism. “Love nature, study it, write what you truly love. Be truthful, for beauty is in truth,” said the artist.

The famous Russian landscape artist Nikolai Petrovich Krymov painted many paintings throughout his entire period of creativity. Most of them are images of deserted nature, shown to the viewer in a very poetic way.
One of the most beautiful landscapes The artist’s painting is “Winter Evening”. Krymov it was created in 1919. On this canvas the author depicted the discreet beauty of his native Russian nature and what he especially liked - frost, snow, as well as the majesty and tranquility of winter.
"Portrait" of Russia
N.P. Krymov’s painting “Winter Evening” already at first glance gives us an idea of its author as a master of harmonious landscape. The canvas, which depicts central Russia, is distinguished not only by its realism, but also by its subtle ability to display the natural colors of the surrounding world.
In his painting “Winter Evening” Krymov was able to accurately recreate the nature of his native land and the life of the peasantry. That is why the landscape can be called a “portrait” of Russia, which the author was able to see in an ordinary, modest corner of the country.
Overall plan
The curriculum provides for schoolchildren to study the painting “Winter Evening” in the 6th grade. Then students are asked to make a description of it. Children formulate their ideas about the landscape in the form of an essay. One of its mandatory points is a description general plan paintings. It is an image of a village outskirts. There are less than a dozen small wooden buildings, as well as a visible church dome. Depicted in the foreground are two sleighs carrying firewood. These are all the main details of the picture, when viewing it, the viewer cannot help but develop a feeling of warmth and peace in the soul. And this despite the fact that the canvas depicts a snowy winter.
Basis of the picture
What else needs to be talked about when writing an essay (6th grade) based on the painting “Winter Evening” by Krymov? The main part of the landscape depicted on the canvas is occupied by snow. He is fluffy and white. Several small birds are sitting on a bush sticking out from under a snowdrift, as if trying to catch the last rays of the sunset.
The wooden houses located a little further away look quite dark. That is why the white snow covering the roofs of peasant buildings looks especially contrasting. People rushing from the cold to the warmth also stand out as dark spots in the picture.
It’s not for nothing that the artist emphasizes the appearance of snow so much. After all, he, white and fluffy, is a real attribute of the Russian winter. N. Krymov in his painting conveys not only the beauty of the Russian landscape. It allows us to understand the sensations and sounds of nature. The picture blows the winter cold at the viewer and at the same time it warms him with memories and native warmth.
In the image, the snow is fluffy and airy. And this technique gives a special charm to a corner of Russian nature that is discreet in its beauty. We know that weather conditions in winter can be very different. Sometimes snowstorms swirl and come very coldy or there is a thaw. The author showed us a winter, albeit snowy, but at the same time kind, by choosing an incredible combination of shades to display a wonderful evening.
Foreground
Admiring the painting “Winter Evening”, the first thing we see is a river covered in ice. It is located in the foreground of the artist’s canvas. The water in the river is clear and clean. Near the shore, small islands of shallow water can be seen from under the ice. Bushes grow near the river. Small birds sit on their branches, basking against each other. Such an image indicates that in N. Krymov’s painting “Winter Evening” we see a frosty day, but not too cold. Most likely because of this there are no people on the river. After all, the ice is thin, and walking on it can cause you to fall through. In almost horizontal natural light, it is painted a pale turquoise tone.
Surely the artist painted while positioned on the opposite, higher bank of the river. After all, the entire image in the painting “Winter Evening,” like the artist’s gaze, is directed from top to bottom.
Winter nature
Looking at the painting “Winter Evening”, it becomes clear that the painter depicts on his canvas a village located somewhere in the Russian outback. It is completely covered with snow. It is impossible to find even one well-worn road here. This is what gives the painting “Winter Evening” a certain mythical look.
The snow-covered expanse along with the frozen river seem to come out of some Russian fairy tale. It seems that a little more time will pass, and Emelya will go to the river on her stove for water. Wherein winter nature, depicted in the artist’s painting, is quiet. She seemed to have fallen asleep, and it seems that she will remain so until spring.
Background
What is necessarily included in the description of Krymov’s painting “Winter Evening”? The picture, from which it is difficult to take your eyes off, shows us in the background the outskirts of a village consisting of several houses. At the first of them you can see a built barn. A village cannot be small. After all, otherwise there would not be a church in it, the dome of the bell tower of which is visible behind the residential buildings and is illuminated by the sunset rays. Most likely, the painting depicts a village. After all, it is precisely in these relatively large settlements As was customary, parishioners came from all the surrounding villages.
Forest
Looking at Krymov’s painting “Winter Evening”, in the 6th grade, children must certainly give a description of the nature that is located outside the village. These are towering above residential buildings, poplars and oaks.
The artist depicted a forest against a background of a bright sky and white snow, creating a bright contrast. On the right on the canvas rises a mighty pine tree with a lush crown and twisted branches. To the left is a fairly dense forest consisting of deciduous trees. In the center of the picture, the author depicted tall trees with a dome-shaped crown. All of them are painted in reddish-brown tones, which were given to them by the rays of the setting sun.
Sky
The description of the painting “Winter Evening” allows you to feel the beauty and majesty of Russian nature. On his canvas, the author depicted the sky in slightly light green-sand tones and without a single cloud. This allowed him to create a soft contrast with the trees, illuminated by the setting sun, that tower in the background of the houses.
When admiring the canvas, a feeling of peace and tranquility comes. At the same time, the author’s combination of cold and warm tones, in which snow cover and the pre-sunset sky are painted, evokes the impression of light frost and extraordinary freshness.
Describing the painting “Winter Evening,” one can assume that soon in this cozy corner of Russia it will be possible to enjoy a bright crimson sunset. After all, such clear skies often become its harbinger. And according to folk signs, the next day in the village after a calm and have a quiet day strong winds may blow.
Shades of snow
They are never a purely formal reflection of reality good paintings artists. “Winter Evening” can be classified as one of them. After all, when viewing the canvas, you don’t just admire the landscape, but, it seems, you hear the ringing silence in the village. A similar feeling can be achieved by a huge snow field located in front of residential buildings. Krymov brilliantly used color palettes to depict him. Snow transferred various shades. Its main color is pale blue. In addition, bluish-black shadows are visible in the picture. They fall from houses. In the shadows, snow is depicted in a wide variety of shades. These are tones that start with sky azure and end with light purple.
The snow in the picture is not depicted shimmering in sun rays. After all celestial body is already ready to hide behind the horizon. Where there are no shadows, the snow is light, and where they fall on the field, it is dark blue. Thanks to the large number of shades, the viewer admiring the painting has a feeling of warmth. This is what Krymov achieved, using a variety of color scheme. It was thanks to her that the author gave his canvas sincerity and sensuality.
Sunset
The action depicted on the canvas by the artist Krymov takes place in the evening hours. The pinkish tints of the sky tell us that the sun is trying to hide behind the horizon. All other colors of nature are evidence of the onset of evening. After all, at sunset they no longer shine as much as they do in the morning. At this time, the frost intensifies somewhat and silence, peace and tranquility appear. The sunset of the day is also indicated to us by the shadows falling on the snowy field. They lie on the snowdrifts, giving them depth and splendor.
The painting depicts a winter evening, when the lights are already on in the windows. However, despite this, the canvas is very light. Maybe it's because we're seeing a lot of snow, or maybe it's just not that late. But these are still evening, pre-sunset hours.
People
From the thin paths trodden between the snowdrifts, one can judge that winter has already fully come into its own. However, the artist makes it clear to us that people are not at all afraid of her and do not want to sit at home.
On the snow you can see numerous shadows left by the rays of the setting sun. And they are not only from bushes. Shadows also fall from four human figures walking along a narrow path trodden in a snowdrift. Most likely, these are peasants who are in a hurry to get to their warm and cozy home. The path is so narrow that people walk behind each other. Ahead, presumably, is a husband, wife and child. They are all dressed in dark fur coats. There is another person standing at a distance. Why is he a little behind everyone else? The artist did not reveal this secret to us. He gave the viewer the opportunity to come up with the plot themselves. But at the same time, people are clearly distinguishable main feature- they all look into the distance. Perhaps the child is interested in the birds, while the adults are admiring the beautiful winter evening.
In the foreground of the picture you can see dark dots in which village children can be seen sledding down a hill. It will soon become dark, and they will also run to their home.
On the left side of the picture you can see a country road with two horse-drawn sleighs moving along it. The carts are loaded with haystacks. The people driving the horses are also in a hurry to finish their work. After all, this must be done before it gets completely dark.
People walking along the path and horses pulling sleighs with hay fill the picture with movement and life, pointing us to the connection that exists between man and nature.
When painting the picture, the artist was clearly at a considerable distance from the village. This is told to us by small-sized images of horses, unclear small figures of people, as well as buildings and houses in which it is impossible to see specific details. Trees also appear as a mass on the canvas.
Looking at the picture, we clearly feel a deep silence. It is disturbed only by the slight creaking of the snow cover under the feet of those walking, the subtle squealing of the cart runners, the singing of birds and the muffled sounds of the bell.
Conclusion
The painting “Winter Evening” was painted by N. Krymov with great love and thoroughness. This becomes clear from the wide palette of shades and the variety of details included in the image. The artist was able to create the right atmosphere, thanks to which the viewer imagines himself standing on a hill, admiring the village, feeling the frost and the gradually approaching twilight.
The entire painting is typical for the village. These are real Russian villages where they live simple people, loving surrounding nature and grateful for their lives.
The picture still continues to create a peaceful and calm mood in the souls of viewers. Surely every person has dreamed of living in a village at least once in his life, feeling peace and human happiness. You can only experience it in this quiet place, and not in the city, where life proceeds at a completely different rhythm.
Today, the original painting by Nikolai Petrovich Krymov “Winter Evening” is one of the exhibits on display State Museum fine arts, which is open in Kazan.
I am looking at the painting “Winter Evening”, which was painted by the famous landscape artist N.P. Krymov. It shows a village in winter colors. Looking at this picture, a feeling of calm and tranquility arises. It seems that, despite great amount snow, this winter evening is warm and sunny.
In the foreground of the picture, the artist brought a frozen river, clean and transparent, because the ice is depicted smooth on it. Near the shore you can see from under the ice dark spots, they are also called shallow water islands. And near the shore we see growing bushes. Several birds settled on the edge of the ice and on the bush itself. It seems to me that the artist, while painting his landscape, was on the opposite bank, perhaps even on a hillock.
In the background village huts, and behind them a growing forest. It can be assumed that oaks and poplars grow in the forest. The artist highlighted the forest, creating a contrast between the light yellowish sky and dark houses. In front of the houses there are open spaces with snowdrifts, but the snow does not seem heavy. On the contrary, it seems light and airy, because the artist depicted it in blue. In the window of one of the huts you can see a flickering light, a little to the left you can see the domes of the bell tower. Near one of the houses there are two carts, probably with hay, and the inhabitants of this village are moving along a narrow path.
To depict snow, the author uses different shades of both white and gentle blue flowers. I think the artist wanted to convey to us the mood of a village atmosphere in his painting. Looking at the work I get a feeling of peace and tranquility. I would like to become one of those residents who walk along the path. Breathe the frosty air and plunge into the atmosphere village life. Thanks to Krymov for giving me a few minutes of a fantastic journey into a fantasy world
“Winter Evening” is a painting by the famous Russian landscape artist Nikolai Petrovich Krymov. On this canvas you can see a small village in winter time. Every person who looks at this work of art feels calm, peace, and also warmth, although the artist decided to depict the cold season.
Essay on the painting Winter Evening
IN this work N.P. Krymov uses different shades white, which depicts snow very well. For example, he decided to color the ice on the river using turquoise. The master conveyed the color of the sky using yellow and greenish tones.
Most likely, the author had a desire for the viewer to feel peace and tranquility. The artist enjoys the view of the evening twilight. He tried to portray how beautiful Russian nature is. Many people say that this picture evokes exceptionally warm feelings in them.
Painting by Krymov Winter evening
In the foreground you can see a river that has already frozen. It is very clean and absolutely transparent, and the ice on the river is snow-free and smooth. Near the shore, in some places you can see shallow water islands peeking out from under the ice, and there are bushes on the shore.
Small birds sit on a bush, as well as near the edge of the ice. It can be assumed that the artist painted this picture while on the opposite bank. IN this moment he had to be on a certain hill.
In the background you can see a beautiful winter village. Behind it is a forest, which consists of poplars or oaks. It stands out significantly against the background of the sky, which has a yellow-green tint. The sky is very clear and low. Its color suggests that there will be a pink sunset.
Large amounts of snow can be seen in front of small houses. The artist was able to very skillfully use a range of colors in order to convey different shades of snow: from pure white on the roofs of houses to diagonal shadows of blue color. The entire snow mass depicted in the picture has a soft blue tint. The village is one of the key objects of the picture.
These are several buildings that drowned in huge snowdrifts. The windows of one of the houses sparkle in the sun. On the left, at a certain distance from residential buildings, you can see the dome of the bell tower. Near one house there is a barn, towards which a couple of carts with hay are driving. In front of the houses, local residents walk along a small path.
