Italian noon by Karl Bryullov

Truly a masterpiece of world painting, the most popular work of Karl, which scattered around the world simply millions of copies of reproductions, all stripes of illustrations, etc. It is worth pondering, from where is the enormous popularity of this painting? In this picture, everything is obvious.

Since the fact that the artist is sincere enough, as if he has betrayed all the sides and feelings of this picture, is not always obvious, you can not always be able to repeat words or live by actions all that the greatest artist has presented to us on his canvas. Probably, it’s worth starting with the general interior that surrounds the girl.

In this picture, every detail has its place and purpose, and everything is done in order to provide the viewer with the most authentic picture about the current moment on the canvas. So, for example, the old staircase, on which our heroine of the picture climbed, with a wicker basket for grapes.

Even every dark green leaf of the vine, as if alive and reproduces feelings in one tone with the heroine. By itself, the girl has a rather gentle and airy image, her barely noticeable blush on her cheeks, a snow-white blouse and a swarthy skin that seems to radiate heat and light. At the sight of the marvelous grapes of beauty, the girl simply can not hide her astonishment and admiration. The whole composition is built around it, but it actively complements the girl’s admiration. The artist’s magnificent play over the light, allows us to feel this bunch of grapes as if we can reach out into the picture and tear off a couple of grapes from the bunch.

The big, beautiful, brown eyes of the girl show us every drop of her sincerity, purity and in a sense, even integrity, thanks to which the viewer is completely imbued with the whole situation, and he has no reason not to believe either the girl or the artist who created this wonderful canvas.
