About the painting
Museum text in Russian
Умение передавать на холсте тонкие градации цвета помогало создавать лирические художественные образы, казалось бы, бессодержательных мотивов национальной природы. Характерными примерами гармоничного использования тональных переходов живописи могут служить «Утро» Федора Васильева и «Закат над болотом» Алексея Саврасова, который в качестве педагога сыграл важную роль в становлении московской пейзажной школы и всегда оставался верен принципу первостепенной роли световоздушной среды в изображении природы. Сергей Кривонденченков. Преображенная природа // Преображенная природа. СПб, 2020. С. 9.
