Gray Day (Gray Day) by Apollinarius Vasnetsov

Gray Day (Gray Day) by Apollinarius Vasnetsov

Since 1883 A. Vasnetsov begins to show his works at the exhibitions of the Association of Traveling Art Exhibitions. In the same year, PT Tretyakov, sensitive to everything new, acquires from him for his gallery the landscape “Gray Day”. For a young artist, this was undoubtedly a great creative victory. He is becoming more and more widely known as a master landscape painter.

The composition of the picture is extremely simple: the path divides the landscape into two parts, two trees are located on either side of it. Everything here is balanced.

The lonely figure of a man wandering towards the grove and the lonely bird hanging in the sky emphasize the spaciousness and monotony of the terrain. The soft green with the white flowers interspersed in it is slightly animated by the ocher strip of the path. “Gray Day” is a typical work for the landscape painting of the Wanderers.

Sketchy, laconic means of realistic painting told the artist about the corner of nature he saw, without embellishment and without its glorification.
