Crimean landscapes paintings by artists. Crimean landscapes in the paintings of famous artists

I'll start by saying a few words about myself and about the artists I represent, whose paintings are worthy to decorate the most sophisticated interiors.
I will gold the designers who will help find buyers for the paintings
Also, I am looking for a partner-sponsor for a large-scale exhibition of Crimeans.
So!
Over the past four years, I have been professionally promoting several of the best contemporary artists from the Crimea in Moscow.

During this time, with my participation, about 15 significant exhibitions were held in the best areas available to me:

Central House of Artists (about 10 exhibitions).

Russian-German House with the support of the German Embassy and the International Union of German Culture.

Auction house Sovkom.

Also, articles were written by significant art critics, auctions were held, websites were created.

In Moscow, I have about two hundred well-designed works (paintings, drawings and photographs), a quantity sufficient for holding any exhibition events. Recently, I have also been collaborating with the foundation of V.N. Naugolny, an architect and a unique photographer who took his panoramic photographs from a hang glider, a balloon and an airplane.

The exhibition of artists from the Crimea, held at the moment, will serve as an excellent informational occasion for the media, and will also be a significant component in shaping the image of the company, under whose auspices it will be held.

Also, I held exhibitions of some other Crimean artists and I have their works available, here I have indicated only a few authors. Perhaps the exhibition can be timed to coincide with the holding of any events related to the Crimea.

Crimea, by its nature and beauty, has always attracted people of art. These were artists and poets, directors, actors, musicians. Everyone went to the Crimea for rest and for inspiration. The landscapes of the peninsula delighted them all. Today's post is about artists whose paintings are somehow connected with this amazing place.

Friedrich Gross. The name, which undeservedly tried to forget. Now the works of the hereditary German artist born in Simferopol can be seen in the Crimean Republican Museum of Local Lore. There are few works that have come down to our time.
Friedrich decided to travel all over the Crimea in search of picturesque and inaccessible places. In one of the newspapers, after some time they wrote: “Living in the midst of luxurious nature, he early felt an attraction to painting and passionately indulged in this noble art. He spent four summers in a row on the southern coast of Crimea… Transferring to paper everything that struck his eyes, and thus collecting a rich collection of the most picturesque views of the Crimea.” According to rumors, he was supported by the patron of the arts of that time, Count Vorontsov.

“View in the Crimea on the river Kacha”, 1854 oil on canvas; 39×48; lower right corner N. Chernetsov 1854" The work was exhibited at the exhibition "Russian and Ukrainian Art of the 19th - 20th Centuries from Private Collections", held at the Kiev Museum of Russian Art, and published in the exhibition catalog of the same name. Kyiv, 2003

A little earlier, when Crimea had just joined Russia. Such artists as Ivanov M. M. (1748-1823), Alekseev F. Ya. (1753-1824) began to come to the peninsula. The well-known Count Vorontsov also had an artist Chernetsov N.G., who drew more than a hundred graphic works, in which he depicted cities, towns and other important architectural structures with documentary accuracy.
Also among the first can be attributed to the Ukrainian artist Orlovsky V. D. (1824-1914). I met his works in the halls of the Vorontsov Palace), Meshchersky A. I. (1834-1902), Krachkovsky I. E.(1854-1914) and Botkin M.P. (1839-1914).

Italian Carlo Bossoli(1815-1884). His watercolors and gouaches allow you to see the Crimea through the eyes of the artist's contemporaries, to imagine yourself in the place of the discoverer of old Taurida.
A traveler by spirit and an artist by profession, Carlo received great fame during his lifetime, not without the help of Count Vorontsov.
The artist lived in Odessa and the Crimea, and in total he spent 23 years in Russia, but succumbing to the persuasion of his elderly mother, he leaves for his homeland.

Probably the most famous artist of the Crimea is Aivazovsky Ivan Konstantinovich(1817-1900). The artist loved his native land. He traveled all over it. Wrote many pictures. Most of all he loved the sea, it was him who portrayed him most often.
In his numerous works, he sang both the beauty of the Crimea and its heroic history. The artist's battle paintings, such as "Chesme battle", "Sinop battle", "Brig "Mercury" attacked by two Turkish ships" and others are now known all over the world. The artist also visited the besieged Sevastopol (1854-1855), after which he painted the paintings “The Siege of Sevastopol”, “The Transition of Russian Troops to the North Side”, “The Capture of Sevastopol”, “Admiral Nakhimov on the bastion of Malakhov Kurgan, where he was hit by an enemy bullet”, “Place where Admiral Kornilov was mortally wounded.
Now the artist's paintings can be seen in Feodosia in the art gallery. Aivazovsky.

At the famous Russian landscape painter Kuindzhi Arkhip Ivanovich(1842-1910) there was a dacha in the Crimea near Kikeneiz (now the village of Opolznevoe). He often came to his dacha, where he created his works. He tried to convey the mood of the sea in them, believing that this is the most difficult task for a painter. Arkhip Ivanovich had an equally talented student - Konstantin Bogaevsky.

A native of Feodosia (1872-1943). Aivazovsky himself approved his first undertakings in painting and subsequently sent him to study with the artist A. I. Fessler.
For me, Bogaevsky is a great master who surpassed many artists in the skill of depicting the landscapes of the mountainous Crimea. He loved landscapes. Winding rivers, mountains, waterfalls, he conveyed all this in his paintings. In some of his works, he refers to the past of the Crimea, writes the ruins of ancient cities, monuments. The painting “Tavroski-fia” most fully and interestingly conveys the artist’s idea of ​​the historical Crimean landscape. in 1933 he was awarded the title of Honored Art Worker of the RSFSR.

Voloshin Maximilian Alexandrovich(1877-1932) for a long time turned the landscapes of Koktebel into works of art. The artist paints the same place in the Crimea, each time finding something new. This is a rare occurrence in Russian art.
Creating his beautiful, warm watercolors, Maximilian often signs them with poetic lines, deepening his understanding of the landscape. Voloshin's paintings can be seen in the Feodosia Museum. Aivazovsky, where the works of artists Fessler A.I. Latri M.P., Lagorio L.f., Magdesian E.Ya., Krainev V.V. are also presented, Barsamova N. S. and others.

He also lived on the peninsula for some time. Vasiliev Fedor Alexandrovich(1850-1873) in the city of Yalta. He did not immediately get used to the bright colors of the Crimea, it happened gradually for him. Vasiliev's last landscape was "In the Crimean Mountains".

Came to Crimea only twice Levitan Isaac Ilyich(1860-1900). During these trips, he created a series of sketches that convey the mood and originality of the Crimean landscape.

Korovin Konstantin Alekseevich(1861-1939) Crimea dazzled with the brightness of its colors and festive colors. The artist paints landscapes of Sevastopol, Gurzuf, Yalta, etc.
In 1910, in Gurzuf, he built a dacha-workshop, and in 1947 it became the House of Creativity. Korovin, where allied artists went to rest and work.

The theme of the Crimean peninsula is firmly entrenched in creativity Kuprin Alexander Vasilievich(1880-1960). The artist visited many cities of the coastal Crimea, painted the streets of Bakhchisaray, mountains, historical monuments. His first work is considered "Deer Mountain".

Rubo Franz Alekseevich(1856-1928) created a huge canvas (115 × 4 m) of a panorama dedicated to the first defense of Sevastopol. This canvas shows one of the events of 349 defense, a reflection of the assault on June 6, 1855. The artist painted many sketches, and the canvas itself was painted in Munich.
During the Second World War, part of the canvas was destroyed and it was restored by 17 Soviet artists under the direction of V. N. Yakovlev, and later P. P. Sokolov-Skalk.

In 1959, the opening of the Diarama "Assault on Sapun Mountain on May 7, 1944" took place in Sevastopol. The canvas has been painted battle painters Marchenko G. I., Maltsev P. T., Prisekin N. S. . Some of the participants in the assault were drawn with portrait resemblance.

Outstanding master of battle painting Samokish Nikolay Semyonovich(1860-1944) was a student of Franz Roubaud. He lived first in Evpatoria, and then in Simferopol.
"Transition of the Red Army through the Sivash" (1935) - this is the best work of the artist recreates the revolutionary impulse of the soldiers of our army, their mass heroism.
In Simferopol, Samokish created a studio and directed its work. The Simferopol Art School is named after him.

Before the start of the war in Sevastopol Alexandrovich Deineka(1899-1969) created numerous sketches, watercolors, and his famous painting "Future Pilots".

The works of all these masters left us a piece of the past, so that we know what Crimea was like before us...

Crimean artists

Features of Crimea

Crimea was the last to become part of Soviet Ukraine. The Crimean peninsula is original. It is distinguished by its special nature and composition of the population. Under the USSR and now Crimea is an all-Union health resort. Living on the Crimean peninsula, especially on the southern coast of Crimea, was the ultimate dream of a Soviet person.

Crimean influence on artists

It is not surprising that many artists lived and worked in the Crimea. After all, the very nature of the Crimean peninsula contributes to the awakening of creative abilities. The sea surf, the Crimean mountains, the brush itself asks for a hand to capture the majestic sea sunset or dawn in the snowy mountains.

Famous Crimean artists and themes of their works

The most famous artist who glorified the art school of Crimea throughout the world is I. K. Aivazovsky, a famous Russian marine painter. In the works of many masters of the Crimean peninsula, this theme can be traced, which is not surprising, given the proximity of the sea. The Great Patriotic War, which left indelible scars on the surface of the peninsula and in the hearts of its inhabitants, also significantly influenced the work of the Crimean masters of the brush. Every stone, every mountain in the Crimea was the object of a fierce battle. Many Crimean masters were eyewitnesses or even participants in those events. And of course the generous nature of the Crimea. Rest, beaches, children frolicking on the seashore - these are all plots of the Crimean masters. If you like works filled with sun and summer warmth, choose paintings by Crimean masters. They are just right for you.

Beautiful Crimean landscapes have always attracted the attention of painters. The endless sky, majestic rocks, silvery sea waves seemed to have been created for artists to revive them on their canvases.

The most famous paintings dedicated to the Crimea belong to the 19th-20th centuries. Then, in their work, a whole galaxy of great masters sang the beauty and original character of this corner of Russia. The main one, of course, was I.K. Aivazovsky, whose life was inextricably linked with Feodosia.

The central place in the artist's work is occupied by the Crimean Sea. In the paintings of the famous artist I.K. Aivazovsky, it is either peaceful and calm (“Evening in the Crimea. Yalta”, “Sunrise in Feodosia”, “Gurzuf”, “Sunset at the Crimean coast”), then rebellious and formidable (“Sea. Koktebel”, “Old Feodosia” , "The Ninth Wave", "Storm at Sea at Night", "Fleeing the Shipwreck", "Storm at Cape Aya"). More than half of the canvases are dedicated to the raging elements and almost always to a steadfast man fighting against it.

On the paintings created in the Crimea by A.I. Kuindzhi, the air acquires “color”: the master’s creations are so picturesque. The artist especially fell in love with Cape Kekeneiz, Uzun-Tash - his main works were written here. In them, form and color are harmoniously interconnected and inseparable from lines and colors, which opens up a completely new look at the Crimean landscapes. "Sea shore. Crimea”, “Cypresses on the seashore. Crimea”, “Boat in the sea. Crimea", "Dali. Crimea" - on all canvases the region appears fresh, light, airy, charming.

Crimea appears absolutely special in the paintings of Georgy Leman. Romantic and serene state of nature, airy and delicate colors, light and lyrical mood - the artist's canvases are full of harmony, they breathe peace and quiet. This is a light, almost weightless Crimea, which is permeated with soft light and seems to be floating between the sky and the sea.

Georgy Leman "Sunny Gurzuf" 1991
oil, canvas

Hazy sky, mountains and rocks, azure sea, verdant trees - the day turned out to be sunny and clear. Gurzuf gradually comes to life: the inhabitants are nowhere to be seen, but a light and agile boat is already rushing along the surface of the sea.
The artist was able to convey the feeling of presence. The smell of the sea and the gentle breeze, the warmth of the sun's rays become real, as if the viewer is on the shore and at any moment can step into the unhurried waves.
The landscape is harmonious and self-sufficient. It is devoid of sharp corners, eye-catching lines or flashy colors. The sea, mountains and sky flow into each other, forming a single whole and completely capturing the viewer's attention. You can admire the canvas for a long time: it calms and evokes thoughts of a serene rest, cloudless summer days and picturesque corners of nature. Soft blues, pinks and greens create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

I.I. came to the peninsula several times. Levitan. The result of these trips was a series of sketches, which, in the style characteristic of the artist, conveys the originality of the unique local landscapes. In Crimea I.I. Levitan literally fell in love, not getting tired of walking along the streets of Yalta, climbing mountains and writing, writing, writing. This is how his famous paintings “In the Crimean Mountains”, “Crimean Landscape”, “By the Seashore. Crimea", "Street in Yalta" and others.

The brightness of colors and festivity conquered the Crimea and another famous painter - K.A. Korovin. In Gurzuf, at the beginning of the 20th century, his dacha-workshop was built, which later became the House of Creativity. Inspired, the artist transferred to his canvases the surrounding splendor of nature: streams of air and light, blooming greenery, sun-drenched mountains. Juicy colors, light and precise strokes captured the Crimea in such paintings as “Crimea. Gurzuf”, “Yalta at night”, “Pier in Gurzuf”, “Balcony in the Crimea”.

Other Russian artists also dedicated their works to the Crimea: K.F. Bogaevsky, M.A. Voloshin, F.A. Vasiliev, A.V. Kuprin, M.P. Latry, V.V. Vereshchagin, A.M. Vasnetsov. Each of them found in the local landscapes a unique beauty that one wants to admire and admire again and again.

Georgy Leman "Rainy day in Gurzuf" 1991
oil, canvas

In 1991, the artist painted another painting dedicated to the Crimea - "Rainy Day in Gurzuf". It is completely done in gray-blue and blue tones and gives a light, airy impression.

During bad weather, Gurzuf is especially beautiful and majestic. The darkening sky hanging over the waves and the recalcitrant, raging sea near the horizon become almost inseparable. The compositional center of the picture is a formidable mountain: motionless and not subject to a storm.

Nothing distracts the viewer's attention from the laconic and strict landscape. It is devoid of images of objects, human figures and animals. Only the eternal sky, sea and mountains remain, beautiful in the rampant natural elements.

Famous artists in Crimea

Since the second half of the 19th century, Crimea has become a place of attraction for people of art. Most searched here inspiration- it was impossible not to admire the landscapes of the new pearl in the crown of the Russian Empire. It was possible to heal on the peninsula. We must also not forget that I was going here color of Petersburg society, and retained the ability to maintain the necessary connections. Let's start the story about the artists in the Crimea with names that we are not accustomed to associate with Tauris.

Konstantin Alekseevich Korovin

A student of Savrasov and Polenov, a “virtuoso decorator,” as Diaghilev called him, and an artist at the Imperial Theaters, who created stunning scenery for famous ballet and opera productions, a connoisseur of northern nature, over time, Korovin turns color into the main means of expression. Korovin finds the harmony of beauty in the colors of France, Spain and the Crimea, which captivated the artist. He captivated so much that Korovin decides to build a dacha in Gurzuf, which has turned into a workshop. From 1914 to 1917 Korovin lived permanently at his dacha. His guests here were Chaliapin, Gorky, Surikov, Repin, Kuprin. In his memoirs about the dacha, the artist especially highlights the roses and the sea, the blue Black Sea.

In the garden. Gurzuf, 1914

Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi

The artist, who was born in the town of Karasevka (now one of the quarters of Mariupol), was connected with the Crimea all his life. He came to the Crimea as a boy in the hope of becoming a student of the great I.K. Aivazovsky, but "entrusted" the future genius only with painting the fence. After 30 years, having already become famous himself, he buys a large plot near the village of Kikeneiz (now it is Opolznevoe, just above Ponizovka on the territory of Greater Yalta). Having spent an impressive amount of 30 thousand rubles on the purchase, at first Kuindzhi and his wife live in a hut. Arkhip Ivanovich avoided society, it was a period of seclusion.

This period ended in 1901, when Kuindzhi decided to show his friends some new works. Art historians note that on the artist’s canvases created in the Crimea, the air acquired “color”.

Seashore, Crimea

Isaac Ilyich Levitan

Pictures of Crimean nature did not become the main theme in the work of the singer of Russian nature - the famous artist Levitan. He visited the peninsula in 1886 to improve his failing health, and brought back almost fifty landscapes from this trip: pencil sketches, studies in oils and watercolors. But ahead of the great painter, who graduated from the school without an artist's diploma (according to the diploma, Levitan was only a calligraphy teacher) had a meeting with the Volga and the main paintings in his life.

Who knows, if fate had turned out differently and Levitan had been granted a few more years of life, maybe today we admired the Crimean creations of the Master? After all, the Crimea and the revealed “eternal beauty” of Levitan shocked him, which he confessed to in a letter to Chekhov. But even those pictures that we know are very interesting.

Ai-Petri, 1886

Another group consists of artists whose life is inextricably linked with the Crimea. First of all, these are Bogaevsky and Aivazovsky.

Konstantin Fedorovich Bogaevsky

A Crimean, a native of Feodosia, whose first works were favorably received by Aivazovsky himself, Konstantin Bogaevsky later became a student of Kuindzhi. Bogaevsky lived in the Crimea, understood the Crimean nature and dedicated his work to it. The very paintings of Konstantin Fedorovich are landscapes and the history of the peninsula.

Evening by the sea, 1941

Ivan Constantinovich Aivazovski

The story about the artists in the Crimea cannot be completed without mentioning the most famous Crimean painter Ivan Aivazovsky. A native of Feodosia Aivazovsky, the first art teacher was the German Johann Gross, who gave the young talent a recommendation for admission to the Academy of Arts. For the painting "Calm" Aivazovsky receives a grant for a two-year trip to the Crimea and Europe, almost perishes in the Bay of Biscay, safely returns to Russia in 1844. The artist is recognized and favored by the authorities - he was granted the nobility, appointed painter of the Main Naval Staff (Aivazovsky will rise to the rank rear admiral). A year later, Ivan Konstantinovich moved to Feodosia, where he became one of the founders of the Cimmerian school of painting. Aivazovsky opens his own art school, allocates funds for the improvement of his native city, the protection of Crimean monuments and archaeological excavations, and builds the Museum of Antiquities in Feodosia at his own expense. But first of all, Aivazovsky is known throughout the world as a marine painter. He painted some of his paintings after a trip to the besieged Sevastopol during the Crimean War.
