Озеро (картина Левитана) Википедия
«Озеро» — картина русского художника Исаака Левитана (1860—1900), над которой он работал в 1899—1900 годах. Находится в Государственном Русском музее в Санкт-Петербурге ( Ж-4262). Размер — 149 × 208 см[1][2]. Также употребляется другое название картины — «Озеро. Русь»[3].
Картина «Озеро» — последнее крупное произведение Левитана[4]. Художник писал её незадолго до своей смерти, и она осталась неоконченной. Тем не менее это полотно считается главным произведением позднего Левитана, «лебединой песнью» художника[5]. Впервые эта картина, под названием «Солнечный день», была выставлена на посмертной выставке Левитана, проходившей в Санкт-Петербурге и Москве в 1901 году[2][6].
Картина «Озеро» является одним из трёх самых больших по размеру произведений художника — наряду с картинами «У омута» (1892) и «Над вечным покоем» (1894), перекликаясь с последней по сюжету[7][8]. При её написании Левитан использовал большое количество этюдов и эскизов, включая большой отработанный эскиз, находящийся в Нижегородском государственном художественном музее, и малый предварительный вариант картины[9][10], хранящийся в Государственной Третьяковской галерее[11].
Сюжет озера интересовал Левитана с начала 1890-х годов. В 1893 году он написал относительно большую по размеру картину «На озере» (холст, масло, 109 × 163 см, Саратовский художественный музей имени А. Н. Радищева)[12][13]. В 1894 году Левитан закончил картину «Над вечным покоем» (холст, масло, 150 × 206 см, ГТГ)[14], на которой изобразил широкое водное пространство, хотя было не вполне понятно, озеро это или река[12] (над этим полотном художник работал на озере Удомля близ Вышнего Волочка)[14]. Тема озера присутствует в ряде произведений, которые он написал по итогам своего пребывания у озера Комо в северной Италии, включая картину «Озеро Комо» (холст, масло, 1895, 96 × 128 см, ГРМ)[12][15][16]. Также в этой связи упоминаются пастель 1895 года под названием «Хмурый день» (48 × 62 см, ГРМ) и картина «Лесное озеро» (холст, масло, 1890-е, 48 × 80 см, Ростовский областной музей изобразительных искусств)[12][17].

Описание картины Исаака Левитана «Лесное озеро»
Картина написана в 1890г. Левитан, как и любой профессиональный художник, всегда перед написанием основной картины делал этюды. Сохранилось множество таких этюдов с пейзажем озера. В своей картине Левитан изобразил необычайность и многогранность природы.
Создаётся впечатление, что в картине растворяется передний план. Он расплывается в глубине озера, в котором отражаются вершины деревьев, окруживших его вокруг. Всё внимание зрителя приковывает глубина картины, то есть её задний план. Жёлтые и освещённые закатными солнечными лучами сосны очерчивают округлые края берега. Использование автором тёмных тонов красок, показывает всю прозрачность, красоту и таинство природы.
С левого края картины изображён песчаный берег, который равномерно переходит в зелёную траву, как бы очерчивая узкую черту, проходящую между водой и берегом. Деревья очень близко и плотно расположены возле берега озера, словно сжимая его в своеобразное кольцо. Берега то пологие, то круто и резко поднимающиеся, создают ощущение какого-то скального отвеса расположенного над водою. Стволы сосен голые, высокие с зелёными верхушками, не пропускающими света и солнечных лучей, придают картине тень и тем самым отходят на задний план.
Этим автор пытался сконцентрировать внимание зрителя именно на главном его предмете, которому уделялось особое внимание при написании картины – к озеру. Все точно и скрупулёзно подмечено автором, что невольно удивляешься этому. Преобладание тёмных тонов, даёт возможность сделать вывод, что это вечернее время заката. Еле заметное голубое небо с проплывающими облачками, отражаются в озере. Автор хотел показать зрителю всю первозданность и девственность природы, наполняющую тишиной и покоем лесное озеро.

1. Левитан, Исаак Ильич – Isaac Ilyich Levitan was a classical Russian landscape painter who advanced the genre of the mood landscape. Isaac Levitan was born in a shtetl of Kibarty, Augustów Governorate in Congress Poland and his father Elyashiv Levitan was the son of a rabbi, completed a Yeshiva and was self-educated. He taught German and French in Kowno and later worked as a translator at a bridge construction for a French building company. At the beginning of 1870 the Levitan family moved to Moscow, in September 1873, Isaac Levitan entered the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture where his older brother Avel had already studied for two years. After a year in the copying class Isaac transferred into a naturalistic class, Levitans teachers were the famous Alexei Savrasov, Vasily Perov and Vasily Polenov. In 1875, his mother died, and his father seriously ill and became unable to support four children. The family slipped into abject poverty, as patronage for Levitans talent and achievements, his Jewish origins and to keep him in the school, he was given a scholarship. In 1877, Isaac Levitans works were first publicly exhibited and earned recognition from the press. In 1880 his painting Осенний день, Сокольники was bought by famous philanthropist and art collector Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov. In the spring of 1884 Levitan participated in the art exhibition by the group known as the Peredvizhniki. Levitan often visited Chekhov and some think Levitan was in love with his sister, in the early 1880s Levitan collaborated with the Chekhov brothers on the illustrated magazine Moscow and illustrated the M. Fabritsius edition Kremlin. Together with Korovin in 1885-1886 he painted scenery for performances of the Private Russian opera of Savva Mamontov, in the 1880s he participated in the drawing and watercolor gatherings at Polenov’s house. Levitans work was a response to the lyrical charm of the Russian landscape. Levitan did not paint urban landscapes, with the exception of the View of Simonov Monastery, mentioned by Nesterov, during work in Ostankino, he painted fragments of the mansion’s house and park, but he was most fond of poetic places in the forest or modest countryside. Characteristic of his work is a hushed and nearly melancholic reverie amidst pastoral landscapes largely devoid of human presence, fine examples of these qualities include The Vladimirka Road,1892 Evening Bells,1892, and Eternal Rest,1894, all in the Tretyakov Gallery. Though his late work displayed familiarity with Impressionism, his palette was generally muted, in the summer of 1890 Levitan went to Yuryevets and among numerous landscapes and etudes he painted The View of Krivooserski monastery. So the plan of one of his best pictures, The Silent Monastery, was born, the image of a silent monastery and planked bridges over the river, connecting it with the outside world, expressed the artists spiritual reflections. It is known that this made a strong impression on Chekhov
2. Холст – Canvas is an extremely durable plain-woven fabric used for making sails, tents, marquees, backpacks, and other items for which sturdiness is required. It is also used by artists as a painting surface. It is also used in such objects as handbags, electronic device cases. The word canvas is derived from the 13th century Anglo-French canevaz, both may be derivatives of the Vulgar Latin cannapaceus for made of hemp, originating from the Greek κάνναβις. Modern canvas is made of cotton or linen, although. It differs from other cotton fabrics, such as denim. Canvas comes in two types, plain and duck. The threads in duck canvas are more tightly woven, the term duck comes from the Dutch word for cloth, doek. In the United States, canvas is classified in two ways, by weight and by a number system. The numbers run in reverse of the weight so a number 10 canvas is lighter than number 4, canvas has become the most common support medium for oil painting, replacing wooden panels. One of the earliest surviving oils on canvas is a French Madonna with angels from around 1410 in the Gemäldegalerie, however, panel painting remained more common until the 16th century in Italy and the 17th century in Northern Europe. Mantegna and Venetian artists were among those leading the change, Venetian sail canvas was readily available, as lead-based paint is poisonous, care has to be taken in using it. Early canvas was made of linen, a sturdy brownish fabric of considerable strength, linen is particularly suitable for the use of oil paint. In the early 20th century, cotton canvas, often referred to as cotton duck, linen is composed of higher quality material, and remains popular with many professional artists, especially those who work with oil paint. Cotton duck, which stretches more fully and has an even, mechanical weave, the advent of acrylic paint has greatly increased the popularity and use of cotton duck canvas. Linen and cotton derive from two different plants, the flax plant and the cotton plant, respectively. Gessoed canvases on stretchers are also available and they are available in a variety of weights, light-weight is about 4 oz or 5 oz, medium-weight is about 7 oz or 8 oz, heavy-weight is about 10 oz or 12 oz. They are prepared with two or three coats of gesso and are ready for use straight away, artists desiring greater control of their painting surface may add a coat or two of their preferred gesso
3. Масляная живопись – Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments with a medium of drying oil as the binder. Commonly used drying oils include linseed oil, poppy seed oil, walnut oil, the choice of oil imparts a range of properties to the oil paint, such as the amount of yellowing or drying time. Certain differences, depending on the oil, are visible in the sheen of the paints. An artist might use different oils in the same painting depending on specific pigments and effects desired. The paints themselves also develop a particular consistency depending on the medium, the oil may be boiled with a resin, such as pine resin or frankincense, to create a varnish prized for its body and gloss. Its practice may have migrated westward during the Middle Ages, Oil paint eventually became the principal medium used for creating artworks as its advantages became widely known. In recent years, water miscible oil paint has come to prominence and, to some extent, water-soluble paints contain an emulsifier that allows them to be thinned with water rather than paint thinner, and allows very fast drying times when compared with traditional oils. Traditional oil painting techniques often begin with the artist sketching the subject onto the canvas with charcoal or thinned paint, Oil paint is usually mixed with linseed oil, artist grade mineral spirits, or other solvents to make the paint thinner, faster or slower-drying. A basic rule of oil paint application is fat over lean and this means that each additional layer of paint should contain more oil than the layer below to allow proper drying. If each additional layer contains less oil, the painting will crack. This rule does not ensure permanence, it is the quality and type of oil leads to a strong. There are many media that can be used with the oil, including cold wax, resins. These aspects of the paint are closely related to the capacity of oil paint. Traditionally, paint was transferred to the surface using paintbrushes. Oil paint remains wet longer than other types of artists materials, enabling the artist to change the color. At times, the painter might even remove a layer of paint. This can be done with a rag and some turpentine for a time while the paint is wet, Oil paint dries by oxidation, not evaporation, and is usually dry to the touch within a span of two weeks. It is generally dry enough to be varnished in six months to a year, art conservators do not consider an oil painting completely dry until it is 60 to 80 years old

Its name comes from the city of Como, known to the Romans as Comum, while the town of Como is referred to as Como, the lake is never referred to solely by this name. This is not true of another lake in Italy, Lake Garda, the lake is shaped much like an inverted letter Y. The northern branch begins at the town of Colico, while the towns of Como, the small towns of Bellagio, Menaggio and Lierna are situated at the intersection of the three branches of the lake, a triangular boat service operates between them. The Lierna area is an historical charming site of the lake with a white beach, Lake Como is fed primarily by the Adda River, which enters the lake near Colico and flows out at Lecco. This geological conformation makes the branch a dead end, and so Como. The mountainous pre-alpine territory between the two arms of the lake is known as the Larian Triangle, or Triangolo lariano. The source of the river Lambro is here, at the centre of the triangle, the town of Canzo is the seat of the Comunità montana del Triangolo lariano, an association of the 31 municipalities that represent the 71,000 inhabitants of the area. Lake Como weather is humid subtropical, in the winter, the lake helps to maintain a higher temperature in the surrounding region. Average daily temperatures range from about 3.7 °C in January to 23.4 °C in July, water temperatures can reach an average of 24 °C during the month of July. Snowfall is erratic and primarily affects the higher elevations, rainfall is heaviest in May and lowest during the winter months. As a tourist destination, Lake Como is popular for its landscapes, wildlife and it is a venue for sailing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. In 1818 Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote to Thomas Love Peacock, This lake exceeds anything I ever beheld in beauty and it is long and narrow, and has the appearance of a mighty river winding among the mountains and the forests. In the area surrounding Lake Como there are farms which produce goods such as honey, olive oil, cheese, milk, eggs
10. Италия – Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a unitary parliamentary republic in Europe. Located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Italy shares open land borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, San Marino, Italy covers an area of 301,338 km2 and has a largely temperate seasonal climate and Mediterranean climate. Due to its shape, it is referred to in Italy as lo Stivale. With 61 million inhabitants, it is the fourth most populous EU member state, the Italic tribe known as the Latins formed the Roman Kingdom, which eventually became a republic that conquered and assimilated other nearby civilisations. The legacy of the Roman Empire is widespread and can be observed in the distribution of civilian law, republican governments, Christianity. The Renaissance began in Italy and spread to the rest of Europe, bringing a renewed interest in humanism, science, exploration, Italian culture flourished at this time, producing famous scholars, artists and polymaths such as Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Michelangelo and Machiavelli. The weakened sovereigns soon fell victim to conquest by European powers such as France, Spain and Austria. Despite being one of the victors in World War I, Italy entered a period of economic crisis and social turmoil. The subsequent participation in World War II on the Axis side ended in defeat, economic destruction. Today, Italy has the third largest economy in the Eurozone and it has a very high level of human development and is ranked sixth in the world for life expectancy. The country plays a prominent role in regional and global economic, military, cultural and diplomatic affairs, as a reflection of its cultural wealth, Italy is home to 51 World Heritage Sites, the most in the world, and is the fifth most visited country. The assumptions on the etymology of the name Italia are very numerous, according to one of the more common explanations, the term Italia, from Latin, Italia, was borrowed through Greek from the Oscan Víteliú, meaning land of young cattle. The bull was a symbol of the southern Italic tribes and was often depicted goring the Roman wolf as a defiant symbol of free Italy during the Social War. Greek historian Dionysius of Halicarnassus states this account together with the legend that Italy was named after Italus, mentioned also by Aristotle and Thucydides. The name Italia originally applied only to a part of what is now Southern Italy – according to Antiochus of Syracuse, but by his time Oenotria and Italy had become synonymous, and the name also applied to most of Lucania as well. The Greeks gradually came to apply the name Italia to a larger region, excavations throughout Italy revealed a Neanderthal presence dating back to the Palaeolithic period, some 200,000 years ago, modern Humans arrived about 40,000 years ago. Other ancient Italian peoples of undetermined language families but of possible origins include the Rhaetian people and Cammuni. Also the Phoenicians established colonies on the coasts of Sardinia and Sicily, the Roman legacy has deeply influenced the Western civilisation, shaping most of the modern world

Пейзажи И. Левитана: «Озеро» » Выдающиеся художники
И. Левитан. Автопортрет (1880)
Картину «Озеро» считают «лебединой песнью» художника – она не совсем завершена. Но для зрителя эта незавершённость вряд ли заметна: спокойный, светлый и жизнеутверждающий пейзаж озаряет душу радостью и тихой любовью к незамысловатой русской природе.
И.И. Левитана так и называют – мастером «пейзажа настроения». Он один из тех русских пейзажистов, которые в XIX в. открыли современникам скромную красоту русской природы. Тогда считалось, что русская природа – безликая и тоскливая, она не может служить объектом для изображения и любования ею. Левитан и не искал в ней внешней эффектности. В неприглядном деревенском мотиве он умел найти то бесконечно близкое, что неотразимо действует на душу русского человека, заставляя его возвращаться к картине и о многом задумываться. И это тем более странно, что тайну русской природы русским людям открыл бедный еврейский юноша, которому одно время даже было запрещено проживать в «исконно русской столице»: в 1892 г. Левитан как «лицо иудейского вероисповедания» был вынужден покинуть Москву и некоторое время жил в Тверской и Владимирской губерниях. До конца жизни клеймо его происхождения угнетало его.
Исаак Ильич Левитан. Фотография 1890-годов
Исаак Левитан наполнил русский пейзаж особыми чувствами, передал его неотразимое очарование, перед которым меркли красоты заморских стран. Творческий путь Левитана был коротким – всего около 20 лет, да и жизнь была тоже короткой – он не дожил до 40-летия. Но за эти годы он создал больше, чем все остальные пейзажисты России вместе взятые.
После Левитана русский пейзаж стал другим.
Его учителями живописи были художники Перов, Саврасов и Поленов. Двое последних – известные русские пейзажисты.
Картина И. Левитана «Озеро» (1899-1900)
Исаак Левитан «Озеро» (1899-1900). Холст, масло. 149 × 208 см. Государственный Русский музей (Санкт-Петербург)
Эта картина – одна из трёх самых больших по размеру произведений художника (вместе с картинами «У омута» и «Над вечным покоем»).
На первом плане картины изображено большое озеро. Вода его, ярко-синего цвета, кажется холодной от большой глубины и наступившей осени. Искупаться уже не тянет, но вода притягивает внимание зрителя.
Вдали – возвышенный берег, на котором видны поля и осенний лес. Прямо перед лесом стоит белая церковь.
По голубому небу, цветом перекликающемуся с озерной водой, неспешно плывут причудливые белые облака. Они отражаются в озёрной воде.
Изображённый художником солнечный осенний день как бы подчёркивает размах и величие просторов русской природы.
«Но что же делать, я не могу быть хоть немного счастлив, спокоен, ну, словом, не понимаю себя вне живописи. Я никогда еще не любил так природу, не был так чуток к ней, никогда еще так сильно не чувствовал я это божественное нечто, разлитое во всем, но что не всякий видит, что даже и назвать нельзя, так как оно не поддается разуму, анализу, а постигается любовью. Без этого чувства не может быть истинный художник. Многие не поймут, назовут, пожалуй, романтическим вздором – пускай! Они – благоразумие… Но это мое прозрение для меня источник глубоких страданий. Может ли быть что трагичнее, как чувствовать бесконечную красоту окружающего, подмечать сокровенную тайну, видеть бога во всем и не уметь, сознавая свое бессилие, выразить эти большие ощущения…» (Исаак Левитан).
