Ivan Firsov is a young artist. Painting “Young Painter” I

The golden-haired minx was already tired of sitting motionless and leaned against her mother. The girl's pink dress and yellow shawl are in perfect harmony with the mother's clothes.

There is no need to shed tears about the past summer,
It will certainly return to our city -
There is also a lot of joy in the autumn season.
September is walking, beautiful and young.

Everyone knows that he is a real artist,
He can paint landscapes and portraits.
His friends are: warm gentle rain,
Sunrises, sunsets, singers and poets.

He is young and careless, he is in love with nature,
A little naive, like many children.
Dreams of coloring the drooping crowns
In crimson and gold in memory of summer...

For a long time listed as a “painting by an unknown artist,” it was only in the twentieth century that the painting received the name of its real creator.
It turned out to be I.I. Firsov.
In the eighteenth century, when this painting was created, the Academy of Arts did not recognize genre painting. Only images of gods and heroes of antiquity could be exhibited as a “worthy canvas.”
A Firsov I.I. he painted scenery for the first operas and designed magnificent holidays.
The plot of the picture is simple and uncomplicated. A young artist draws a girl in his workshop, which is all occupied with art objects. The window, covered with a rich green velvet curtain, shows us that the action takes place in a rich estate. In the corner there is a marble bust of a lovely girl, on the wall, behind it hangs a portrait, but this is not a ceremonial portrait, it is clear that this is a portrait of a woman with a guitar, perhaps even the work of the youngest talent. Otherwise, it would have hung in the state rooms of the nobleman. Another painting hangs nearby, but it is impossible to make out what is depicted on it. Nearby there is a mannequin for putting on the fluffy dresses of the ladies of that time, so that the artist can draw all its folds, ruffles and bows without interference.
In the foreground is the painter himself. He sits at an easel on which is mounted the painting he is working on. The painting shows a girl sitting right there.
The golden-haired minx was already tired of sitting motionless and leaned against her mother. The girl's pink dress and yellow shawl are in perfect harmony with the mother's clothes. A young woman, wearing a scarf on her head, is dressed in a red-striped dress with a white skirt. The woman is pregnant and it’s also hard for her to stand, but she understands the importance of the moment and calms her daughter down.
A charming genre painting shows us the artist's studio in times long past, and we would like the young man to receive recognition equal to his talent.

The painting “Young Painter” was painted in the eighteenth century, when genre painting was not popular and was not recognized by the Academy of Arts. For many years the authorship of the painting was not established. And only in the twentieth century did it become known for certain that this was the creation of the Russian artist I.I. Firsov, who was involved in the design of performances, including the first Russian opera “The Miller the Sorcerer, the Deceiver and the Matchmaker,” and magnificent festivities organized by nobles.

The picture is simple and uncomplicated. The picture is simple and uncomplicated. A young talent, an artist, draws a portrait. The same young lady serves as his model. The girl finds it difficult to sit still. Her eyes sparkle with mischief and slyness. She wants to jump off and see what the boy is doing at the easel. But her strict mother shakes her finger, calling for patience and perseverance. And the girl, restraining her impulse, clung to her mother. And the young artist is so passionate about his work that he does not notice anything other than his creation.

There is a box of paints on the floor next to him. To his left is a sculpture and a bust, and there are paintings on the wall. The room is brightly lit by sunlight falling from the window. A bright green curtain completes the decoration of the room. There is a box of paints on the floor next to him. To his left is a sculpture and a bust, and there are paintings on the wall.

Firsov writes freely and softly... Pink, lingonberry (red), white and pale (yellow) colors, prevailing in the first part of the canvas, softly blend with the greenish tint of the boy’s camisole on the left. This shade finds an echo in the more dull green tone of the curtain in the depths. Such a modest, carefully thought-out, colorful range contributes to the restrained poetry of the picture and the atmosphere of moral integrity diffused in it. Firsov writes freely and softly...

I.I. Firsov “clutters up” his creation with amazing skill. There is practically no free space in the picture. But this does not make the picture worse. On the contrary, it shows the life of people of that time, their private life. Bright colors give the picture indescribable expressiveness and poetry. I.I.

The interesting work of I. Firsov “Young Painter” did not immediately receive recognition from the audience, because it was presented to the audience only two centuries after it was written. And all because the artist created his creative work at a time when painting was not yet known or popular.

Only the modern generation of art lovers paid close attention to Firsov’s painting. Due to its low popularity, the canvas turned out to be practically untouched and perfectly preserved.

When I first look at the painting, it seems simple and naive to me. But, this is only the first impression. Then, when I peer into the details of the canvas, I see in front of me not an ordinary artist, but a very young guy who is so diligently trying to bring out every stroke of the brush, every feature on his canvas.

Next, my attention is drawn to the model, who simply cannot sit still. She is so interested in what is happening, she is ready to jump out of her chair right now and run up to the artist. But her energy and cheerfulness are kept in check by her mother standing nearby, who shakes her finger and asks the girl to calm down a little.

On the floor, next to the young artist, there is his palette of paints. In the background of I. Firsov’s canvas “Young Painter” there is a plaster sculpture and a bust, and on the wall there is a painting depicting a noble lady. At first glance, it seems that all these items are completely incompatible with each other. But, thanks to the artist’s skill, they are skillfully combined using correctly selected colors and well-arranged composition.

The room in which the painting takes place is quite cozy and warm, conducive to true creativity. It is in such a room that “ordinary people” live full and happy lives.

The Young Painter is the first Russian painting about the life of ordinary people. The picture has an interesting story. In front of us on canvas is the artist’s workshop. Soft light pours through the window. There are paintings on the wall, one is a portrait, the other depicts a corner of the forest. On the table is a white plaster sculpture-bust and a doll with movable arms and legs - a mannequin. Such a doll helps the artist to correctly convey different positions of the human body. A canvas stretched on a stretcher is mounted on a wooden tripod stand - an easel.

And here is the artist himself. He's still just a boy. He is fourteen years old. Or even less. How passionate he is about his work! And how confidently and boldly he works! In his hands he has brushes and a palette - a board for mixing paints. In front of him is a restless girl. He paints her portrait on canvas. The mother persuades the girl to sit quietly.

The artist grabs the necessary paint on the brush and decisively and accurately places a stroke on the canvas. It feels like this boy is a skilled craftsman. The painting is called "Young Painter".

The paintings of I. Firsov depict heroes of the distant past. The artist learned about their exploits from ancient books and legends. The painting “Young Painter” presents people who lived at the same time as the artist and were probably well known to him. And they are busy with the most ordinary things. Although no important incidents occur on the canvas, it is very attractive to the viewers. The picture was painted with great feeling. It doesn't make you think about serious things, but the audience is conveyed the warmth with which it is written. The artist loves the people he painted, their unremarkable lives. This boy painter is dear to him, his cozy, modest studio is pleasant, his occupation is close to him.

When one art connoisseur saw the “Young Painter” next to the solemn canvases about the wonderful deeds of the gods and ancient heroes, he well said that this picture was like a small neglected lawn, overgrown with chamomile and dandelions, in a ceremonial, festively well-groomed park.

The name of the author of "The Young Painter" remained a mystery for a long time. True, at the bottom of the picture, on the lid of the box with paints, there was a signature - “Losenko”, but scientists doubted that the signature was correct. Some dates didn't add up. The author of "The Young Painter" differed from Losenko in some ways of working. And, of course, it was difficult to imagine that the solemn, slightly theatrical historical paintings and this simple scene were the creations of the same master.

Already in this century, scientists decided to wash off the “Losenko” signature. And here's the joy! Under it was another, in Latin letters: “I. Firsove” - “I. Firsov”. Probably one of the first owners of the painting wanted to increase its price:

Scientists managed to find out something about the life of Ivan Firsov. He served in St. Petersburg, at court. Then he was sent to Paris “for better training in painting and theater science.” He returned to his homeland and became an apprentice decorator in the imperial theaters.

An essay (including a miniature) is assessed with two marks: the first mark is given for the ability, within the framework of a well-thought-out composition, to reveal the topic and express the main idea (to realize one’s plan), as well as for the ability to correctly and appropriately use appropriate language means for this purpose; the second – for compliance with language norms.

The assessment scheme can be as follows: L – F – R, where L – logical errors, F – factual, R – speech errors and shortcomings; І – ν – Г, where І – number of spelling errors, ν – number of punctuation errors, Г – grammatical errors. When checking, the teacher also pays attention to violations of consistency in the presentation of content, to the compliance of all parts of the essay with the topic and task of expressing the main idea, and to the completeness of the topic. When analyzing the speech format of the work, we take into account the diversity and expressiveness of the language means used and the grammatical structure of speech, as well as the stylistic unity of the essay.

I . Preparing for an essay(examination of the picture, drawing up a plan).

The painting “Young Painter” by I. I. Firsov is one of the mysterious monuments of Russian genre painting. This is one of the earliest and at the same time the most perfect examples of the everyday genre.

Little is known about the artist: Ivan Firsov studied painting in Moscow at his own expense and was mainly engaged in theatrical scenery and decorating palace interiors in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Already one of the most famous Russian artists, he went to Paris to study at the Academy of Arts. The painting “Young Painter” is believed to have been painted by Firsov during his stay in Paris.

Let's ask fifth-graders to remember which works of painting they have already become acquainted with in Russian lessons, and try to name the genres of these works. Fifth-graders can name landscapes by A. A. Rylov (“Field Rowan”), V. D. Polenov (“Autumn in Abramtsevo”), portraits by M. A. Vrubel (“The Swan Princess”), V. L. Borovikovsky (“ Portrait of E. N. Arsenyeva"), etc.

Let us draw the students' attention to the fact that now in front of them is a picture that belongs to a genre with which the students are still unfamiliar - to the everyday genre. Let's decipher this concept for fifth graders. Everyday genre is a genre of fine art dedicated to reflecting events and scenes from everyday life. Let's invite the children to consider and describe the everyday sketch of I. I. Firsov.

First of all, we will ask the fifth-graders to outline the plot of the artistic canvas and try to achieve a clear definition of it. The answer might be something like this.

I. I. Firsov portrayed a young artist who creates a portrait of a little girl. The little model is playful and restless, she cannot sit in one place for a long time, and her mother presses her hand to her so that the girl calms down.

After this, we develop the ability to describe in more detail the location of figures in artistic space, as well as the facial expression of each of the characters in the picture.

The artist sits freely behind a high easel and moves his brush across the canvas, painting out the details. In his left hand he holds a palette and brushes, a box of paints is on the floor. His gaze is focused on the canvas, strands of hair have come out of his hair, but the young man does not notice this. The young artist is overwhelmed with inspiration; he creates selflessly and enthusiastically.

The model is still small, so she herself sits on a chair, and her legs stand on a bench. It’s difficult for her to sit without moving for so long, she obediently folded her arms, but a sly smile plays on her face. The girl pressed her head against her mother, who hugs the baby and persuades her to sit quietly. The artist managed to skillfully convey the calm and gentle severity of a young woman, patiently explaining to her daughter the need to maintain the desired pose.

The painter's studio is flooded with even light, which pours from the window located to the left of the artist. The artist set up the easel so that the light fell directly on the canvas, and he turned slightly towards the window and threw back his head so that the play of light and shadow did not interfere with the creation of the portrait.

In the background of the painting are the usual attributes of an art workshop: a marble bust, a mannequin, several books, and two paintings on the wall.

In the painting “Young Painter,” the artist simultaneously managed to convey the charm of ordinary, everyday life and the poetic charm of the process of free creativity.

The young artist depicted creating a portrait and the woman and girl are truly simple. The poses of the characters in the picture are relaxed, their facial expressions are natural and consistent with the moment in which they are captured. At the same time, the main theme of the painting can be considered the creative process, and the creator of the canvas “Young Painter” managed to convey the poetic atmosphere that reigns in the studio of the artist, the main character of the painting.

The gray-pink color scheme corresponds to the general character of the picture. I. E. Grabar wrote about the artist’s skill: “Firsov writes freely and softly... Pink, lingonberry-red, white and pale yellow colors, prevailing in the first part of the canvas, are softly combined with the greenish tint of the boy’s camisole on the left. This shade finds its echo in the deeper green tone of the curtain in the background.
Such a modest, carefully thought out, colorful range contributes to the restrained poetry of the picture and the atmosphere of moral purity spilled in it.”
