Rye by Ivan Shishkin

Landscape-painting called “Rye” was painted by the artist in 1878, for its creation was used a vivid manner of painting. The painting causes a feeling of peace.

In the foreground there is a golden field with ripe rye. Fertile ears sway from the slight breeze of the wind, they are already waiting, they will not wait to harvest. On the roadside and in some places the golden ears under their weight bent to the ground. Such a swaying of the ears seems to radiate the aroma of the ripened harvest.

In the distance can be seen blue cornflowers, adorably adorning the whole landscape. In the foreground is a winding field road, which many travelers saw on their way. Most of the road was overgrown with grass, especially white camomiles. Squirming, she goes deep into the field.

Along the winding road, on the rye field there are majestic pine trees, which remind the guards. On the right the old pine hangs low over the rye. She is completely naked on the one hand, probably felt the effect of the cold north wind.

And vice versa, the trees on the left pleases us with the variety of their outfits: from the most magnificent forms, fully dressed with branches, to absolutely bare pine trees.

In the sky you can watch dancing field birds that enjoy summer warm days. Over them float light air clouds. And in the depths of the picture the clouds thickened, perhaps a little rain will soon follow.

The author has put in the picture a huge love for nature, to his native land. This feeling is passed on to the viewer, who can enjoy the beautiful creation of this artist.
