The Russian Art.

The most important form of early Russian art was the icons. The word icon

means image in Greek. Icon is the religious pictures of Christ and Saints

on wooden panel. They decorated churches, mostly placed on the iconostasis.

In Russia the finest icons were produced from the midforteenth century. In

that time a specific national style icon painting was formed. Russian icon

painting reached the highest point of its achievement in the works of

Theothan Greek, Andrey Rublev and Dionissy in the mid-15 century. Andrey

Rublev is a Russian greatest iconpainter. In 1408 he was engaged on the

murals in the Cathedral of the Assumption at Vladimir when he also produced

his version of the icon of Vladimirs Virgin. And well known cuch icons as

Спас and Троица which was found in Vladimir. A.R.s icons is expressed a

distinct filling of harmony, deep spirituality, grace and the beauty of the

colors. Rs works is one of the greatest creations of medieval Russian

In the2th half of 19th century artists of the Wanderers group started

painting scenes of contemporary life. Vasiliy Perov, Ivan Kramskoy, Aleksey

Savrasov,Ivan Shishkin, Valentin Serov and Vasiliy Surikov were wanderers.

The works of Wonderes are displayed in the famous picture galleries: the

Tretiakov Gallery in Moscow,the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. They

called themselves the Wanderers, because they wanted to realize their

ideals by taking wondering exibitions tthroughout the country. The most

clear represenative of Wonderers in my opinion was Vasiliy Surikov.[1848-

1916]. He was the first of the W. Hewas born in Krasnojarsk in Siberia.His

masterpiece was the Боярыня Морозова. [1887] Its an enormous painting-both

in size and scale. A decorative surface rhythm and strong horizontals are

other eharacteirctics common to Russian art, both ancient and modern, and

like wise first recovered in the work of Surikov.

The English Art.

The 18th century , the Golden Age of British Art. The 18th century , the

great age of British painting. It was in this period that British art

attained a distinct national character. Hogarth was followed by a row of

illustrious painters: Thomas Gainsborough, with his lyrical landscapes,

funcy pictures and portraits, Reynolds, who painted charming society

portraits and became the first president of the Royal Academy.

William Hogarth was unquestionably one of the greatest of English artists

and a man of remarkably individual character and thought . It was his

achievement to give a comprehensive view of social life within the

framework of moralistic and framatic narrative.

His masterpiece of the famous series was Marriage a la Mode . This set of

pictures describes a marriage between the daughter of a rich man and a

young lord, the son of an old earl. The Girls father has brought a bag full

of money with him. Their children are together but apart: the young man is

watching himself in the glass; the girl is listening to a young Counsellor.

The pictures round the room help understund the situation. In one of the

pictures Madam sits listening to the young Consellor, whose portrait hangs

in her room. Other pictures in the series show My Lord who amuses himself

with a bad company. He returns home tipsy. Madam wastes her money at

auctions. The end is known. My Lord attacks the Counsellor, who kills him

and is executed. Moral: do not listen to counsellors; dont marry a man for

his rank, or a woman for her money; dont visit auctions unknown to your

husband; dont have bad friends. Otherwise you will be ruined.
