In 1824, at the Academic Exhibition, Venetsianov presented his works created on the Safonkovo estate. Among them was the painting “Here’s Father’s Dinner.” The plot of the painting was explained by the title by which the painting was shown at the exhibition: “A boy grieving that he dropped beetroot and milk and spilled it.” The painting shows a blond boy. He sadly looks at the overturned dish where there was milk. A faithful dog sits nearby, looking at its owner with sympathy. The dog seems to understand the boy’s mood and wants to comfort him. You can guess that the boy is from a poor family. He does not see enough food, so he is very sorry for the spilled milk. Perhaps he was carrying a jug of milk and a piece of bread to his father, who is working in the field. This meager lunch - a piece of bread and a jug of milk - was intended for my father for the whole day. The boy doesn't know what to do. Of course, the father will be very angry that his son could not bring him lunch. Painful thoughts overcome the baby. The child in the picture cannot but evoke sympathy and sympathy. The boy is wearing a white shirt. He looks neat and well-groomed, despite his bare feet. The child appears to be six or seven years old. The hero of the picture understands the value of food, which is why he is so worried about the missing lunch.

Answer from Daria Tsarik[active]

In fact, all of Venetsianov’s paintings are magnificent. He created many works on the theme of peasant life. In 1820, the artist left Moscow and began to live in the small estate of Safonkovo in the Tver province. Here he painted many amazing paintings.

In 1824, at the Academic Exhibition, Venetsianov presented his works created on the Safonkovo estate. Among them was the painting “Here’s Father’s Dinner.” The plot of the painting was explained by the title by which the painting was shown at the exhibition: “A boy grieving that he dropped beetroot and milk and spilled it.”

The painting shows a blond boy. He sadly looks at the overturned dish where there was milk. A faithful dog sits nearby, looking at its owner with sympathy. The dog seems to understand the boy’s mood and wants to comfort him.

You can guess that the boy is from a poor family. He does not see enough food, so he is very sorry for the spilled milk. Perhaps he was carrying a jug of milk and a piece of bread to his father, who is working in the field. This meager lunch - a piece of bread and a jug of milk - was intended for my father for the whole day.

The boy doesn't know what to do. Of course, the father will be very angry that his son could not bring him lunch. Painful thoughts overcome the baby.

The child in the picture cannot but evoke sympathy and sympathy. The boy is wearing a white shirt. He looks neat and well-groomed, despite his bare feet. The child appears to be six or seven years old.

The hero of the picture understands the value of food, which is why he is so worried about the missing lunch. The true value of this work is that the artist not only masterfully conveys a separate moment of life, but also shows the inner world of the hero. We don’t know anything about the boy, but we can guess that he is a very responsible and conscientious child. He accidentally spilled the milk, maybe it happened while playing. Or maybe the jug was too heavy for the fragile boy. And he did not hold his burden in his hands.

The boy feels guilty before his father. And his mood is transmitted to the audience. The picture cannot leave us indifferent. It allows you to look into the distant past and realize how difficult the life of ordinary people was.

The picture is made in warm colors. The artist uses the lighting of space on the canvas in a special way. He manages to concentrate the audience's attention on the main character of this work.

The outstanding Russian painter Alexei Gavrilovich Venetsianov was born on February 7, 1780 in Moscow, into a merchant family. There is little information about the artist's life. He began painting as an adult. He himself wrote about himself: “I am not a graduate of the Academy, I did not prepare myself to be an artist, and I became one by loving art.”
In fact, all of Venetsianov’s paintings are magnificent. He created many works on the theme of peasant life. In 1820, the artist left Moscow and began to live in the small estate of Safonkovo in the Tver province. Here he painted many amazing paintings.

The boy doesn't know what to do. Of course, the father will be very angry that his son could not bring him lunch. Painful thoughts overcome the baby.
The child in the picture cannot but evoke sympathy and sympathy. The boy is wearing a white shirt. He looks neat and well-groomed, despite his bare feet. The child appears to be six or seven years old.
