Ivan Bilibin was able to turn book illustrations into real art, confirmation of which was one of his works. The painting entitled "Feast at Prince Gwidon" is known to everyone since childhood. Getting acquainted with the work of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, young inquisitive minds had the opportunity to get closer to the work of another brilliant master.
The painting was painted in oil on canvas in 1655. Rembrandt became a great master of portraiture and historical genre. In addition to portraits of different people, the artist painted several paintings dedicated to his son in different years of his life. Titus was the fourth child in the Rembrandt family, but the first three children died in infancy.
Even somehow you get lost at the sight of such a female image. You do not know exactly how to determine her condition. On the one hand, it seems that this is an arrogant coquette who knows how to behave in society. On the other hand, this is a girl who apparently recently lost someone close to her. And therefore, it seems that her eyes are tear-stained, and therefore a black cap covers her handsome cap.
The painting belongs to the brush of Paul Cezanne, who lived and worked at the same time as the impressionists. At the same time, the artistic searches of Cezanne and the impressionist painters (such as Monet, Seurat) were very different. The Smoker Palace was not interested in the need to convey a direct impression of the subject.
The artist we are learning about now had his own characteristics. Each great master is distinguished by its zest. Van Meng excelled in his ability to portray landscapes; in this genre he was inimitable. Grandfather and uncle left an imprint in the artist's genes. Also, the old masters influenced the consciousness of the genius of art.
Revival, as a direction of art, as a rule, glorified the past. With an eternal eye on the old masters, the new masters made the first uncertain tests of the brush, trying on themselves the classicism and academism left by their predecessors. There was no talk of either cubism or modernism. Even impressionism was still far from being born.
