Portrait of the artist's daughter Surikov description. Essay based on Surikov’s painting Portrait of daughter Olya (description)

The only love Vasily Surikov

The great Russian artist Vasily Ivanovich Surikov was born in Krasnoyarsk on January 12, 1848 in the family of a clerical employee who came from an old Cossack family. The boy received his first drawing lessons from his school teacher. In 1868 he went to St. Petersburg, where he entered the Academy of Arts. Upon graduation, he lived in Moscow. He constantly came to Siberia, visited the Don, Volga, and Crimea. In 1880–1890 he visited France, Italy and a number of other European countries. The masters of Venetian and Spanish Renaissance and Baroque, especially Veronese and Velazquez.

When they met, she was twenty and he was thirty. They were destined to live together for a short time, only ten years, but their story is one of the most remarkable. This is history happy love And tragic fate. Surikov saw his first future wife Elizaveta Augustovna Share during morning mass in catholic church St. Catherine, in St. Petersburg. As it turned out, they both really loved Bach's music. Young people came to Nevsky Prospekt every Sunday to hear chorales famous composer. After a series of such meetings, an acquaintance took place.
Soon Surikov had to leave - he received an order to paint the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. It was 1877. All summer, Surikov found time to travel to St. Petersburg to see the beauty who had fallen into his heart, and in December he asked for Lisa’s hand in marriage. The bride, although born in Russia, was a true Parisian by her upbringing. Her father, the Frenchman August Charest, met a Russian girl in Paris and married her. After some time, the family moved to St. Petersburg, where they had five children. The customs and orders in the family remained French, and the daughters stood out among their peers with a special Parisian chic, although the family was not particularly rich.
Surikov hid the good news about the wedding from his family.
It was not easy for him to do this. The reason for Surikov’s strange behavior was simple: he was happy, but he was worried about how his mother, a very stern woman, a Siberian Cossack, would react to his choice. For her, a “French” daughter-in-law would not be a particularly pleasant surprise. For her beloved Vasenka, she would probably like to find a simple, understandable bride.

The newlyweds moved to Moscow, where they lived very friendly. Both loved music and literature, they were not bored together, and in the first years their lives were quite solitary. Vasily was truly happy - next to him was someone who understood him and forgave him for being completely immersed in work. U happy couple two girls were born - Olga and, two years later, Elena. They were never separated, even when the girls were very small, they all traveled together. Surikov joked that “everything that is mine is always with me.” Only one thing sometimes darkened the happiness of the family: Elizabeth had a congenital heart defect.

Inspired, Surikov worked tirelessly. “The Morning of the Streltsy Execution” and “Boyarina Morozova” were written, recognition and financial independence came. Surikov admired his wife and drew her with pleasure. She was the model for one of the most tragic figures in Russian painting - eldest daughter Menshikova, Maria.

"Menshikov in Berezovo" (1883).

Surikov took a long time to paint his painting “Menshikov in Berezovo”. We needed faces that would express the entire tragedy of the fate of a family that was once the most powerful in Russia and found itself in exile at the ends of the earth, in Siberia. Maria, the former royal bride, died at the age of 18 in exile. So Vasily Ivanovich Surikov painted her with his wife. But both of them could not even imagine that in some mystical sense, the fate of Mary, who could not bear life in Siberia, would be echoed in the fate of Elizabeth.

One day, after almost a year of traveling around Europe, the Surikovs go to Siberia. The dampness of Siberian water travel, shaking on broken roads... All this was a difficult test for Lisa’s fragile health. On way back she became seriously ill. Siberia, which made Surikov so happy, turned out to be disastrous for her. During his wife’s illness, he did not leave her side and did not trust her to anyone. He coped with all the doctors’ orders himself. But in the spring Elizabeth died.
Surikov never married again; he lived only for his girls and for art.

In the future, Olga Surikova will marry the artist Pyotr Konchalovsky and they will have a daughter, Natalya, the mother of Andrei Konchalovsky and Nikita Mikhalkov. Natalia Konchalovskaya and her life will be discussed in the next post.

IN AND. Surikov with his wife

Portrait of Elena Surikova, the artist’s daughter, 1906

The portrait was created in the winter of 1887-1888 in Moscow, in Kuzmin’s house on Smolensky Boulevard, where the Surikov family lived at that time. In Surikov’s letters there is a mention of work on this work: “I am painting at home Olin’s portrait in the red dress she wore in Krasnoyarsk” (Letter to P.F. and A.I. Surikov dated September 9, 1887 // Letters. Memoirs about the artist. - L., 1977. P. 75.).

Strong, alive ten year old girl, childishly clumsy, stands by the white stove. Her direct and open gaze looks directly at the viewer. The entire figure of the daughter is captured by the artist in a very characteristic way. As always, in Surikov’s portraits there are no attempts to give the model any deliberate beauty.

According to family memories, the portrait was painted under the following circumstances. “Vasily Ivanovich suddenly clearly imagined Olya near the stove. He quietly stood up, opened the door and looked through the crack. Olya stood in a red dress with polka dots against the background of bright white tiles, pressing her two plump palms to it, warm. Round face she was illuminated with friendly and cheerful confidence... A month passed. An easel with a canvas appeared in the dining room, on which Olya stood tall near the stove... Olya was patient - she knew how to pose.

And often the whole family spent the morning together in the dining room, so that Olya would not be bored standing... A marvelous portrait

She will soon face grief -
She will be left without a mother.
Her father idolizes her
But life will stubbornly interfere.

She has a lot to do in life -
Disease, hunger, cold, war.
While the girl is looking
Look at the world trustingly, calmly.

She's still under wing
Father, parental home,
But soon everything will fall apart
And she cannot avoid the rift.

But she will endure everything
And her line will continue,
Over the years the girl will enter
Life in Russian culture.

And they will step into the twenty-first century
Her distant descendants
And the light of culture will be carried
Through years of unmeasured darkness.
(Sapritsky E.B.)

The picture conveys an atmosphere of family comfort and peace. The portrait of his daughter ends the happiest period in Surikov’s life, personally and creatively. In February 1887 on the 15th Traveling exhibition he exhibited “Boyaryna Morozova”. The painting brought him universal recognition and fame as the first Russian painter in historical genre. But at the end of 1888, the artist’s wife fell seriously ill and died. A long streak of depression and crisis begins. He will go to Krasnoyarsk for a long time, where he will be revived in his work on “The Taking of the Snow Town.”

And the artist’s daughter Olga Vasilievna (1878-1958) will have a big and interesting life. She will become a wife famous painter Pyotr Konchalovsky. They first saw each other when Petya was 16 years old and Olya was 14. He came to the studio of Olya’s father, the artist Vasily Surikov, to take lessons. But the serious young lady was then more interested in her own studies at the gymnasium. So in that a fleeting meeting The teenagers weren't even introduced to each other. The real acquaintance happened ten years later. And now it was love, even at second sight. Three weeks later, Peter and Olya realized that they could not live without each other. Vasily Surikov wrote to his brother about this: “I need to tell you very joyful and unexpected news: Olya is marrying a young artist from a good noble family, Pyotr Petrovich Konchalovsky. He is an Orthodox and believer.” Soon the couple had a daughter, Natasha.

Their daughter and granddaughter of Surikov - Natalya - will marry Sergei Mikhalkov, a famous fabulist, playwright, author of two hymns: Soviet Union And Russian Federation. This marriage will produce two sons - famous film directors Nikita Mikhalkov and Andrei Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky, great-grandchildren of the great artist.

I wanted to know how the fate of Surikov’s daughter Olga, whom we saw in the portrait, turned out.

Among the many works of the artist Pyotr Konchalovsky there is the famous “Self-portrait with his wife.” Two laughing people on the canvas are holding glasses of wine in their hands. A toast to the happy family life remains behind the scenes.

But every detail in the picture suggests that two loving hearts they beat in unison and there is no word “I” for them. And there is the word “we”.

They first saw each other when Petya was 16 years old and Olya was 14. He came to the studio of Olya’s father, artist Vasily Surikov, to take lessons. But the serious young lady was then more interested in her own studies at the gymnasium. So, during that fleeting meeting, the teenagers were not even introduced to each other. The real acquaintance happened ten years later. And now it was love, even at second sight. Three weeks later, Peter and Olya realized that they could not live without each other.

Vasily Surikov wrote to his brother about this: “I need to tell you very joyful and unexpected news: Olya is marrying a young artist from a good noble family, Pyotr Petrovich Konchalovsky. He is an Orthodox and believer.” Soon the couple had a daughter, Natasha.
And three years later, son Misha. Artists I knew were surprised: the children did not interfere with Konchalovsky’s work at all. He created endlessly, and endlessly tinkered with his heirs: he sang lullabies to them, shared paints, taught them to draw, nursed them during illnesses

The Konchalovskys doted on children, and yet in the house everything was subordinated to their father’s profession, and iron discipline was established. The son and daughter did not know the whims on the topic “I don’t want, I won’t.” But they perfectly understood the concept of “necessary”. Study, music and French lessons - this was the daily schedule of the Konchalovskys Jr.

Peter always went abroad for sketches only with his family. Trips arose spontaneously. Over morning coffee, Peter asked his wife: “Lyolechka, shouldn’t we go to Paris to learn from the masters?” “Of course, Dada! I’ll get ready now!” – Olga answered, confident that all her husband’s decisions were correct. By evening the family was already boarding the train.

In Paris, through Olga’s efforts, everything was arranged instantly: housing was rented, Peter worked, Natasha went to study, Olga did housework, walked with Misha, always looked great and posed for her husband. She often criticized his work, but Peter trusted Lyolechka’s taste endlessly. As soon as she said, looking at the painting: “Oh, that’s not it, Dada!”, the canvas was destroyed. Konchalovsky did not regret the time spent and inspiration at such moments.

When did the first one begin? World War Peter went to the front. After seeing her husband off, Olga returned from the station and sobbed throughout the house, and then for three years she wrote detailed letters to her husband about the life of the family. The children supplemented them with their own news, and Natasha also added poems composed especially for daddy. Artilleryman Konchalovsky wore these letters on his chest throughout the three years of the war.

During the revolutionary hard times, the family united even more. The Konchalovskys refused to emigrate, lost their apartment, were freezing and starving, but Olga continued to work with the children foreign languages, and Peter still stood at the easel, knowing full well that no one needed his landscapes now. Children, looking at their parents, believed: nothing in the world is scary if there is such love as their dad and mom.

In the early thirties, the Konchalovskys, dreaming of a family nest, bought a house with a mezzanine in Bugry, not far from Moscow. Noble family tradition- spending the summer in nature - should not have been interrupted by any government. The Konchalovskys put the house in order with their own hands. Pyotr Petrovich turned out to be a wonderful gardener - lilacs, roses, peonies and apple trees grew beautifully. Lyolechka was busy at the stove, Dada was drawing, the aroma of pies mixed with the smell of paints and everyone was happy. When the grandchildren appeared, they were raised the same way as children: with love and discipline. On Sundays the whole family went to church. And they were not afraid of anything, as if they were confident in invisible but powerful protection.

Konchalovsky, who does not know how to dissemble, refused to paint a portrait of Stalin, did not sign a libel against his friend Meyerhold, and stubbornly continued to work only on what was interesting to him. When the persecution began, Pyotr Petrovich and Olga Vasilievna maintained Olympic calm. At one of the receptions, when people were afraid to even approach the disgraced artist and his wife to say hello, someone advised Olga Vasilyevna to spit on her ill-wishers. She, standing in the cherry tree velvet dress with an ermine on her shoulders, she regally answered: “Nobody cares - there’s not enough drool!”

From the outside, their life looked extremely lucky. The Konchalovskys did not challenge fate and did not conflict with anyone. They simply managed to preserve their world, their habits and traditions. And even in their declining years they still affectionately called each other Dadochka and

Portrait of a daughter

In the picture I see a little girl (she is about the same age as me). This is the daughter of the artist Surikov. The girl is cute and strong. Her figure looks a little awkward, but this will go away with age. The child will turn into a charming, graceful young lady who will be taught to dance. The child's round face is framed by dark, thick hair. short hair, to the shoulders. Her lips smile. The girl's eyes are large, looking straight and a little slyly. One can feel that the girl is diligently posing for her father. The left plump palm is pressed against the white wall. I just want to hold on to her, it seems that she is warm, alive.

She is wearing a red dress with white polka dots. The tights on her legs match the color of her dress. The waist is belted with a red sash. I also love clothes of this color. She looks elegant and creates me good mood. The dress is decorated with a large openwork white collar. Apparently, one of the relatives made it for the girl.
She clutches a toy (doll) to herself. It is noticeable that the child loves her very much. The doll even somewhat resembles its owner. She has blond hair and Blue eyes. She's dressed up in pink dress. All girls like to play with dolls and so do I.

The girl's face is content and calm. She lives well in this house, with people close to her. She is a favorite in the family. The father also admires his daughter, which is why this portrait turned out so well for him. He wants her to remain forever in his memory as a sweet little child. It seems to me that the girl has a slightly persistent character, and she loves to have all her wishes fulfilled. This is how she rests her strong legs on the floor. She also walks confidently through this life. They say if a child happy childhood, then it will be the same adulthood. I want to believe that this will come true.

2nd grade

The little young lady is depicted in the picture: “as if alive.” It seems to me that now she will break out of there and run to play with me.

The artist's daughter poses against the backdrop of a white stove. The black door and matching shoes highlight the girl’s outfit even more clearly.

In our village, at my grandmother’s, our house is also heated this way. When I come to her on vacation, I like to warm myself by the stove. When it is heated, it is cozy and warm nearby. It’s also good in an artist’s house.

In general, this whole picture creates a good mood. I would love to have it hanging in my room. And I would wake up in the morning and mentally talk to the girl, make her my wishes and dreams.
