"Hunters at Rest" - The Life of the Wonderful TROITSA1. The painting "Hunters at rest": a description for schoolchildren Hunters at rest description

In the foreground, the artist showed the prey with which the brave hunters go home. Some of them shot a duck, and someone - a hare. One of the comrades sits in a dark coat, leaning forward a little - and enthusiastically tells the others something. Another hunter lay down on the yellowed grass. He listens to the story, but looks at his friend incredulously. The third hunter completely believes the story of his friend, so he listens carefully, even stretched out a little forward. A little to the side runs a dog that is not used to rest. She heard something - and is ready to continue hunting without her master.

In the background, you can see an endless field with yellowed grass, and a sad, autumn sky hangs from above. Against the background of the sky, the shadows of birds flicker, which no longer attract hunters.

The picture is written in a slightly humorous style, as it is clear that one of the hunters boasts of his long-standing merits, but they actually did not exist. This canvas breathes optimism and enthusiasm, so the mood immediately improves - and there is a desire to do something good.

Second version of the essay:

Vasily Grigorievich Perov is a famous Russian artist. His brushes belong to such famous paintings as "Troika", "Seeing the Dead", "Tea Party in Mytishchi". No less famous is his painting "Hunters at Rest".

The central part of the picture is occupied by three hunters, who settled down to rest after a successful hunt. The hare and ducks lying nearby clearly indicate that the hunt was a success. And the faces of the characters in the picture express satisfaction. The poses of hunters, their appearance speak volumes to the audience.

The hunter on the left, who enthusiastically tells something, is from the nobility. He is well dressed and well groomed. He tells hunting tales so emotionally: his eyes are wide open, his hands show that the beast is about to pounce on him. His whole appearance says: “The bear has risen on its hind legs. Goes to me. It's about to grab it with its clawed paws. Most likely, his story is pure fiction.

The second hunter, also a nobleman, seems to be new to the business. He is so captured by the story of an experienced partner that he does not notice anything around. His hand with the cigarette froze halfway, he did not move. The young man believes every word of the narrator. It seems that he will now exclaim: “Oh, Lord, what passions!”.

And only the third hunter is distrustful of the story. An experienced hunter, a simple peasant peasant, understands that the master has lied, but it hurts a lot. It is amusing for him to hear the lies of an educated person. The peasant hunter laughs at the gullibility of his young partner. His smile says: “Oh, and you lie, brother, much! And you believe everything!”

And only the nature surrounding the hunters does not share the carelessness and contentment of the hunters. Birds are circling anxiously in the sky, gloomy clouds are approaching. The branches of the shrubbery all around froze in some kind of anxious expectation. But satisfied with the hunt and carried away by the story, men do not notice this tension.

Looking at the “Hunters at rest” by Vasily Perov, the modern viewer hardly notices that the picture depicts the same nonsense as in the hunting tales that one of the characters “poisons”.

“What a delight! Of course, to explain - so the Germans will understand, but they will not understand, like us, that this is a Russian liar and that he is lying in Russian. After all, we almost hear and know what he is talking about, we know the whole turn of his lies, his style, his feelings, ”Fyodor Dostoevsky praised the picture, admiring the expressiveness and reliability of the characters. However, the scene of the rest of the three comrades is not at all true in detail. The characters mishandle their weapons, and their equipment and loot belong to different types of hunting. It seems that the painter chose a topic in which he understood little.

In fact, Perov was well versed in hunting. The artist went to the beast, as his first biographer Nikolai Sobko put it, “at all times of the year and tirelessly,” later even sharing his experience in essays for the Nature and Hunting magazine, which was published by naturalist Leonid Sabaneev. Ultimately, the passion for hunting cost the artist his life: due to a cold caught in the forest, Perov developed consumption, from which he died before he was 50 years old.

And Perov created “Hunters at Rest” as an anecdote picture, so that the understanding viewer would laugh at it no less than at the very outrageous hunting stories.


1. Skeptic. The peasant laughing at the story of the master, written from the doctor, amateur artist and writer Vasily Bessonov. Perov portrayed him as a commoner, emphasizing that the excitement of hunting, like this meal on the grass, unites the nobles and their servants.

2. Beginner. He listened to the narrator so much that he forgot to light a cigarette. Judging by the new sheepskin coat and expensive equipment that had not yet worn out in the forests, the character became interested in hunting recently. Perov wrote a gullible neophyte from 26-year-old Nikolai Nagornov, in whose house his friends Kuvshinnikov and Bessonov used to gather to go hunting together.

3. Hare-hare. Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences Valentin Golovin noted: the molting of the animal can be determined: the action takes place in late autumn. It is strange that the carcass was not damaged: according to the rules of canine hunting, the killed hare had to be chopped off (poked with a dagger between the shoulder blades), cut off (cut off the front paws) and trimmed (inserted into the saddle).

4. Grouse. A forest bird could not be killed on the same hunt as a hare, an inhabitant of the fields.

5. Vral. Perov's friend, police doctor Dmitry Kuvshinnikov, posed for the role of the landowner-narrator. In the 1880s-1890s, the doctor, together with his wife Sophia, organized a literary and artistic salon in his house. The Kuvshinnikovs and landscape painter Isaac Levitan, with whom Sophia cheated on her husband, became the prototypes for the heroes of Chekhov's story "The Jumper".

6. Boots. The beginner's shoes, as Professor Golovin noted, also betray the character's inexperience: it was very inconvenient to hunt in such high heels.

7. Binoculars. The narrator has binoculars of the old model, the first half of the 19th century, which indicates a solid hunting experience.

8. Horn. Used for canine hunting to pack hounds, but there is no sign of a flock of hounds. The only dog, according to different versions, is either a greyhound or a setter - a cop. On dog hunting, guns are not needed, since the dog takes the game. And on a rifle you don't need a horn.

9. Shotguns. An experienced hunter, in order not to clog the bore, will never put the gun with the muzzle on the ground. Especially if it is a first-class, expensive weapon from the English company Enfield, like here.

"Hunters at rest" (1871)

When I tell you my True Tales, I remind myself of a left hunter, and my friends are both incredulous, like an average one, and listening, like a right one.

The picture is known to absolutely any inhabitant of our country. She is in textbooks, she is on the walls in many houses, even on candy wrappers. We know it by heart. And yet, I will tell you a couple of points that you may not know.

"To be fully an artist, one must be a creator; and to be a creator, you need to study life, you need to educate the mind and heart, educate not by studying government models, but by vigilant observation and exercise in reproducing types and their inherent inclinations ... By this study, you need to adjust the sensitivity to perceive impressions so that not a single object swept past you without being reflected in you, as in a pure, correct mirror ... An artist must be a poet, a dreamer, and most importantly, a vigilant worker ... Who wants to be an artist must become a complete fanatic, living and eating one art and only art " .
V.G. Perov "Our teachers"

Vasily Grigoryevich Perov was born on January 4 (December 23, old style) 1833 in Tobolsk, in the family of the provincial prosecutor Baron Grigory Karlovich Kridener. The boy was illegitimate, his parents got married later. All his younger brothers received the titles of barons and the surname Kridener, Perov received the surname of his godfather - Vasiliev, later the artist changed it to the nickname "Perov", given in childhood for success in penmanship. The boy's real father, Baron G.K. Kridener, was a liberal, educated man, played the piano and violin, knew several foreign languages ​​and even wrote poetry. It was the latter that became the reason that some time after the birth of Vasily, the baron was dismissed for free-thinking rhymes.

Let's get back to the picture now.

And Perov did not write it alone, but in tandem with another famous artist - Alexei Savrasov. Together they taught at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Savrsov's share is not known to us, but there is an interesting point.

Perov wrote two versions of "Hunters at Rest": the first is kept in the Tretyakov Gallery, and the second - in the Russian Museum. Perov writes the second version a few years later. Did he turn to Savrasov again?

And the hunters are all real people! Artist's friends.

Doctor Dmitry Kuvshinnikov was depicted in his famous painting "Hunters at rest" by the artist V.G. Perov. The Hunter Storyteller on the left is him. Two other characters in the picture were painted from Kuvshinnikov's friends: the skeptic hunter is the doctor and amateur artist Vasily Vladimirovich Bessonov, and the young hunter is Nikolai Mikhailovich Nagornov, a relative of Leo Tolstoy (he was married to his niece, Varvara Valerianovna Tolstoy).

The picture is very popular with the audience, but some celebrities have sharply criticized it.
They didn't like unnaturally exaggerated emotions

M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin criticized the picture for the lack of immediacy: “It’s as if, when showing the picture, there is some kind of actor who is instructed by the role to speak aside: this is a liar, and this is gullible, inviting the viewer not to believe the liar hunter and to have fun with gullibility rookie hunter.

The landscape in the picture is written much better, compositionally it is closely connected with the characters. There is something disturbing in the surrounding nature - in the piercing wind, in the withered autumn grass, in the gloomy horizon. The sky is covered with clouds, thunderstorms cannot be avoided.

The most pronounced figure is, of course, the elderly hunter on the left, passionately telling his comrades about his hunting adventures. The second hunter, who is in the middle, is middle-aged, listens with a grin to an elderly hunter, scratches his ear, one can say that the narrator clearly makes him laugh with another tale, and he clearly does not trust him, but it is still interesting to listen to him. The young hunter, on the right, carefully and trustingly listens to the stories of the old hunter, it is likely that he himself also wants to tell something about his hunt, but the old man clearly does not give him a word to say.

I am not a hunter, but a hunter friend, he told me that there are many inaccuracies in the picture.

The dog in the background, apparently a setter, and with the cops do not hunt hares. The black grouse lying on the right is his prey, but there is also a horn in the picture, and it is used only when hunting with hounds. In addition, when hunting for black grouse is open (and, by the way, it is found in the forest, not in the field), hunting for a hare is closed. But whether hunting was opened in that century, I do not know. He also said that a self-respecting hunter would not throw a gun like that - the barrel would become clogged, the trigger would break. These are the bells and whistles from the modern hunter.

In the vastness of the network, I found such a story about a picture, only I lost the link. But read:

"Hunters at Rest" is one of the most popular paintings by the outstanding artist of the second half of the 19th century, Vasily Grigorievich Perov.
Until recently, it was believed that the artist painted two versions of this painting. But there is an assumption that the author created three paintings "Hunters at rest". And one of them was kept in the Nikolaev Museum for 22 years as a copy ...

The most famous painting by Vasily Perov in the century before last made a splash at an exhibition in Europe, along with Repin's "Barge Haulers on the Volga". After the exhibition, the canvas was bought by the famous collector Tretyakov, the artist wrote the second author's version for the tsar, and now it is in the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. Sensation - the third version of the "hunters" was found in the Nikolaev Regional Museum.

The canvas was studied for two years. The picture was painted without a sketch in pencil, but immediately with paints - it was in this manner that Vasily Perov worked. "Nikolaev" picture of the same size and written in the same 1871 as the work, which is stored in the Tretyakov Gallery. And the version that Perov wrote for the tsar and which is kept in St. Petersburg was created later - in 1877 - and is smaller in area.

Kyiv restorers presented the results of the research to the Tretyakov Gallery. They agreed with the conclusions of experts from the National Academy of Arts; Perov's authorship is still under consideration.

It still remains a mystery who the artist Perov really was? Critical realist, Wanderer VG Perov was a friend of almost all the outstanding painters of his time.
He had eccentricities, which, perhaps, explain how Perov could paint such a canvas as "Hunters at Rest" in the 19th century. The picture is directly stuffed with encrypted messages, mathematical formulas and prophetic predictions.

Many years ago, the employees of the Russian Museum noticed that by the end of the working day, female caretakers gathered in the Perov Hall, not far from the Hunters at Rest. The work was rescheduled several times, but the result was the same. And caretakers, and visitors to the museum, and excursions most of all grouped and spent time near this picture.

There have been some studies that have revealed a real anomaly. The air temperature in this painting was always 2.6 - 2.8 degrees higher than in the other halls. The mechanical clock at Perov's painting slowed down, and the quartz movements began to beat down the rhythm and even stopped. The picture had a strange effect on people as well.

The canvas was subjected to infrared radiation and x-rays. In the picture we got an image of three men, very strongly reminiscent of someone. The picture was printed and ... the Yalta Conference arose! On the left, leaning slightly forward, sat Joseph Stalin and convincingly proved something. Opposite him, with his hands on his paralyzed legs, sat Roosevelt, and between them, looking skeptically at Stalin, lay Winston Churchill. By superimposing a transparent map of Europe on the picture, the experts were amazed. Stalin's hands accurately indicate the opening line of the second front, while the right hand rests on the coast of Normandy, where the allied landing took place seventy years later.

If we calculate the percentage of the area occupied by the three figures of hunters to the total area of ​​the picture, then we will get the exact figure as a percentage of the total share of the three countries of England, America and Russia in the production of weapons in relation to the rest of the world in 1945! The killed game in the right corner of the picture, circled in one line, strangely resembles the outlines of defeated Japan. And if we connect the eyes of three hunters with the same line, then we will get the exact geometry of the Bermuda Triangle.

Perov ideally placed his characters in parts of the world in relation to the gun, which lies slightly to the right and below the center of the picture and means the equator. It's the first thing that catches your eye...

Here are the news about the picture that each of us knows from school ...

Addition

My post about Perov's painting "Hunters at rest" deservedly took one of the leading places in the ranking of my posts. It is clear that schoolchildren and studios are forced to write abstracts about the picture! Tyts in Google - and he gives them my post! They are glad. Unlike my supposedly 500 supposedly friends. It is interesting and useful for them to read the lines of the old fart ... So I will add a bit to that post.

Remember the main narrator from the picture?

Dymov meant doctor Dmitry Pavlovich Kuvshinnikov, a truly selfless physician and ascetic. Of course, he was not quiet and shy. And constant home parties did not bother him, he actively participated in them. Art bohemia respected Kuvshinnikov - suffice it to say that it was he, Dmitry Kuvshinnikov, who is depicted in Perov's famous painting "Hunters at Rest" as the main narrator. Together with the other two also real characters, they constantly went hunting:

So life is even more closely tied with different knots! Remember Chekhov's famous story "The Jumper"? So Chekhov wrote a story about Kushinnikov's wife! Jumper Olga Ivanovna was actually called Sofya Petrovna Kuvshinnikova. Here is her portrait by the artist Levitan:

I. Levitan "Portrait of Sofya Petrovna Kuvshinnikova", 1888

And she broke out a gigantic scandal in Moscow! Many prominent people of that time stopped shaking hands with Anton Palych, refused the house - and this is almost political death! They wrote letters to him, and Chekhov wrote completely boorish letters in response! Levitan wanted to challenge him to a duel. Chekhov's friend, the actor Lensky, wrote him such a derogatory letter that Chekhov burned it, for the first time in his life ashamed to keep the letter in his archive. Hellish reproaches and abuse rained down from all the acquaintances. Anton Pavlovich answered them even more boorishly, denying them with the words (literal quote): “My jumper is pretty, but Sofya Petrovna is not so beautiful and young!”

Well, Levitan was almost Sophia's official lover, he can be forgiven. They really had an affair and a joint summer on the Volga. Without a husband and strangers ... But the whole secular world did not respect and despise him until the end of Chekhov's life ... Did they know about the great Chekhov?

And in defense of the Jumper (and re-read the story!):

Sofya Petrovna was by no means a mediocre, frivolous jumper who burned her husband’s money and “draws a little” - this assessment is entirely on Chekhov’s conscience. Sofya Petrovna was an extremely talented and intelligent lady with a kind and open heart, everyone's favorite.

He left many of his famous works to posterity. On the canvases, the master captured ordinary people who are sad, rejoice, work, go hunting. Not everyone knows that the painter Perov himself was not averse to wandering through the forest with a gun over his shoulder. The painting "Hunters at rest" was written by him with skill, and it shows.

The future artist was born illegitimate. And although his parents soon got married in the church, the father could not give the boy his last name. At first, the child's name was Vasily Vasiliev - this was the name of his godfather. But why did he become Perov? Turns out it's a nickname. His boy was given by a literacy teacher, noting with this word diligence, the child’s ability to use a pen for writing.

But Vasily was not only a diligent student. The boy has been addicted to drawing since childhood. He loved to watch how a real artist draws, whom the father of the child invited to their home.

When Perov took in then he realized that this was his calling. Despite poor eyesight, which deteriorated after suffering from smallpox, Perov became an artist. At first he studied at the Arzamas art school, then he graduated from the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.

Some of the artist's works

For his work, the artist was awarded silver medals. At the beginning of his work, the painter reflected the sad aspects of the life of the people, painting such paintings as “The arrival of the policeman”, “Scene on the grave”, “Drowned women”, “Troika”. In the middle and second half of the creative path, the artist paints more joyful paintings. “A holiday in the vicinity of Paris”, “Songbook seller”, “Scene by the railway” - all these works were created by Perov.

The painting "Hunters at rest" was painted by Vasily Grigorievich in 1871 and belongs to the late period of his work.

Picture: first character

One glance at the canvas is enough to see: it depicts 3 people. It is interesting that V. G. Perov drew them from real people. The painting "Hunters at Rest" captured three doctors who liked to hunt in their spare time.

On the left sits the eldest in the company. This is D. P. Kuvshinnikov - a lover of gun hunting, a famous Moscow doctor. Turning our eyes to the canvas, we see - Kuvshinnikov tells something interesting. His eyes are wide open, and his hands imitate the claws of a predator. Apparently, he tells his young friend how he once hunted, and he was attacked by a lynx, a wolf or a bear. Of course, the hunter defeated this animal and showed remarkable abilities.

Perfectly conveyed facial expressions, the position of the head, hands, body of his character Perov. The painting "Hunters at Rest" is a scene of friends resting and reflects the liveliness of their conversation.

Second character

The grateful listener sitting on the canvas on the right also has his own real prototype. This is Nikolai Mikhailovich Nagornov, who at the time of the creation of the canvas was 26 years old. In life, he was a friend of D.P. Kuvshinnikov and also worked in medicine. Interestingly, this young man a year later married the niece of the famous writer Tolstoy.

But for now, he was completely absorbed by the older hunter's story. He listens to the story of the man sitting across from him and looks at him wide-eyed. The young man froze, he is not interested in either the meal or the cigarette he holds in his right hand. And the narrator is trying with might and main, he even took off his headdress, because he felt hot.

Third hero

Very realistically conveys all the moods of the canvas, which was written by Perov - "Hunters on a halt." The picture introduces us to another hero, the prototype of which was the doctor V.V. Bessonov. As you might guess, in life he was a friend of Kuvshinnikov and Nagornov.

On the canvas, Bessonov grins. From the expression on his face, one can understand that he has heard his friend's hunting story more than once and does not believe in it. The man scratches himself behind his ear, it is clear what this gesture means. He tries to distract himself so as not to laugh and tell the young comrade the truth. Perov knew all this. “Hunters at Rest” is a picture that allows you to mentally travel back to the end of the 19th century, become participants in an interesting scene and guess what the main characters of the canvas are talking about.

Surrounding landscape, small details

Everything matters in art. After it became clear who exactly is depicted on the canvas, what the men are talking about, it is interesting to see what surrounds them and calculate what time of the year the action takes place. This will help the description of the painting "Hunters at rest." Perov, most likely, painted the time of early spring.

It can be seen that the grass is withered, as it appears before us when the snow melts. But in some places he remained: in the background, on the field, small white islands are visible. The men are dressed warmly, so they are not cold that evening.

All this is clearly conveyed by the picture "Hunters at rest". Perov V. and his friends liked to walk through the woods with a gun. The artist preserved his impressions for centuries.

Looking at the “Hunters at Rest” by Vasily Perov, the modern viewer hardly notices that the picture depicts the same nonsense as in the hunting tales that one of the characters “poisons”

“What a delight! Of course, to explain - so the Germans will understand, but they will not understand, like us, that this is a Russian liar and that he is lying in Russian. After all, we almost hear and know what he is talking about, we know the whole turn of his lies, his style, his feelings, ”Fyodor Dostoevsky praised the picture, admiring the expressiveness and reliability of the types. However, the scene of the rest of the three comrades is not at all true in detail. The characters mishandle their weapons, and their equipment and loot belong to different types of hunting. It seems that the painter chose a topic in which he understood little.

In fact, Perov was well versed in hunting. The artist went to the beast, as his first biographer Nikolai Sobko put it, “at all times of the year and tirelessly,” later even sharing his experience in essays for the Nature and Hunting magazine, which was published by naturalist Leonid Sabaneev. Ultimately, the passion for hunting cost the artist his life: due to a cold caught in the forest, Perov developed consumption, from which he died before he was 50 years old.

And Perov created “Hunters at Rest” as an anecdote picture, so that the understanding viewer would laugh at it no less than at the very outrageous hunting stories.

1. Skeptic. The peasant laughing at the story of the master, written from the doctor, amateur artist and writer Vasily Bessonov. Perov portrayed him as a commoner, emphasizing that the excitement of hunting, like this meal on the grass, unites the nobles and their servants.

2. Beginner. He listened to the narrator so much that he forgot to light a cigarette. Judging by the new sheepskin coat and expensive equipment that had not yet worn out in the forests, the character became interested in hunting recently. Perov wrote a gullible neophyte from 26-year-old Nikolai Nagornov, in whose house his friends Kuvshinnikov and Bessonov used to gather to go hunting together.
