Sul dipinto

Con le parole del museo — in russo

Натурная работа в окрестностях Москвы явилась важным этапом в профессиональном становлении пейзажиста. Вслед за Сокольниками Левитан три лета провел в Останкино, куда вынужден был перевезти больную сестру. в этот период основным результатом занятий живописью стали многочисленные этюды. В них можно найти очарование тихих усадебных уголков (« Останкино »), радость оживающей под солнечными лучами природы (« Черемуха »; оба — начало 1880-х, ГРМ), красоту наполненного воздухом деревенского пейзажа (« Домик с ракитами », первая половина 1880-х, ГРМ), величавость бесконечных прозрачных далей (« Жаркий день », 1883, ГРМ).

Leggi

Этюд для Левитана имел особое значение. По убеждению художника, только в нем можно было увидеть все характерные черты выбранного мотива. Иногда для большей верности пейзажист начинал писать сразу два этюда одного и того же места. Он был уверен, что «в большом этюде больше вранья»*, и отдавал предпочтение камерным размерам. Результат натурной работы считал самодостаточным и в то же время обязательным художественным материалом для создания полноценной картины. Сергей Кривонденченков. « Пейзаж, завещанный И. И. Левитаном » // Исаак Левитан. К 150-летию со дня рождения. СПб, 2009. С. 7.

Nella vita di Isaac Levitan

Tutta la vita
  1. 1879

    Expelled from Moscow after the attempt on the tsar

    After Alexander Soloviev's attempt on Alexander II (2 April), a decree is issued forbidding Jews to live in Moscow, and the eighteen-year-old Levitan is expelled; for the next couple of years he lives with his brother, sister and brother-in-law in a small dacha at Saltykovka near Balashikha. A year later, with the money from the sale of his painting “Evening after Rain”, he rents a furnished room on Bolshaya Lubyanka.

  2. 1880

    Tretyakov buys “Autumn Day” for 100 roubles

    The famous philanthropist and art collector Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov buys the painting for 100 roubles and will go on to acquire about twenty more of Levitan's works.

  3. by 1883

    The school rejects his picture for the medal

    By 1883, disillusioned with the school, Levitan submits a landscape for a silver medal that would have made him a classed artist; Savrasov, by then drinking heavily and no longer teaching, writes “silver medal” on the back of the canvas, but the school rejects the painting and Levitan stops attending classes. Korovin repeated gossip that antisemitism played a part in the rejection.

  4. spring 1884

    He takes part in a Peredvizhniki exhibition

    In the spring of 1884 he takes part in the travelling exhibition of the Peredvizhniki; he will become a member of their Association in 1891.

  5. mid-1880s

    His heart disease sharply worsens

    Levitan's material situation improves in the mid-1880s, but a hungry childhood, an unsettled life and hard work tell on his health: his heart disease sharply worsens.

  6. spring 1888

    He discovers Plyos on the Volga

    In spring 1888 he sails by steamer along the Oka to Nizhny Novgorod and on up the Volga with the artist Alexei Stepanov and Sofia Kuvshinnikova; to their own surprise they discover the small, quiet town of Plyos and decide to stay on for a while. The three summer seasons there (1888–1890) prove extremely productive: some two hundred works bring Levitan wide fame.
