So the event of the end of the 17th century was publicized throughout the world. The plot described by the painter shows the unreadiness of society to change its established views, and there is not even a hint of the ability to conduct a dialogue. It seems that the interests that are affected by the two parties threaten the calm of the whole society. Therefore, it is worth so zealously to defend them. Who did the artist write? And what sense did he put in the poses of the main characters, and those around them.
I liked the picture of V. G. Perov for the fact that it can be considered for a long time and carefully. Many different characters are depicted here, they met in battle for their beliefs. It can be seen how the author puts forward two main characters of this scene, thanks to a simple technique – lighting. Princess Sophia and Nikita Pustosvyat are the brightest figures on the canvas. And in life they were the ones who remember the story to this day. The picture prompted me to look in different encyclopedias in order to get better acquainted with the event that was captured.
It was curious to know what happened in the year when the young, twenty-five year old princess came to power. And although the pose of Sophia and speaks of confidence and arrogance, but what followed after this meeting, showed all her fear. The next day, the Pustosvyat was executed.
Perov tried not to convey his sympathies, it is noticeable from the way the portrait of everyone in the picture is carefully and precisely written out. You can easily read the nature of any of them. But at the same time, the canvas pours out such emotional energy that I could not just look, move away and indifferently forget. An elderly preacher, who in his own words shook people, stands before his eyes. The incredible power of his conviction brought with him some of his students, despite the fear of death. And those who are trying to resist him, feeling the support of the imperious queen behind their shoulders, proudly, behave with disdain.
The power of the picture in the accurate description of events and how subtly the painter felt the moment. It was at that time that none of the characters shown in the picture could behave in any other way. Why so impressive this work.
