About the painting
In the museum's own words — in Russian
Значительную часть наследия Шишкина, всю жизнь неутомимо работавшего на пленэре, составляют натурные этюды. Среди них множество видов лесных полян и опушек, болотных зарослей, речных заводей. Укромные природные уголки кажутся надежно укрытыми от посторонних глаз, но не от пристального взгляда живописца, умевшего разглядеть и запечатлеть каждую деталь лесного мира.
Пространственное решение пейзажа «К осени» нарочито фрагментарно. Тем не менее его камерность и непринужденность выдают безошибочный композиционный расчет. Этюдна, скорее, манера письма – широкие, даже грубоватые мазки соседствуют с тщательными, мелкими живописными «стежками», которыми прописаны травинки, листочки, веточки, коряги, выступающие из водной глади. Маэстрия художника достигает в подобных работах своей вершины, побуждая наслаждаться не только реальностью атмосферы тихого дня, но самой живописной фактурой полотна.
