Description of the painting by Fedor Vasiliev “Return of the herd”
Fedor Alexandrovich Vasilyev – the son of a small postal official, was born in Gatchina. At the age of twelve, the boy worked at the Post Office and received a salary. While studying at the school of arts worked as a restorer. The most important period in the development of the young artist’s work was a trip with Valash to I. Shishkin, where his style as a landscape painter was formed. Two years later, he went on a trip along the Volga with I. Repin, from where he returned as a completely independent artist.
However, the life of a talented young man was incredibly short. At the age of twenty, while working on site, the artist caught a bad cold and later developed a cold into tuberculosis. An attempt to go to the Crimea, where the doctors sent Vasilyev, gave nothing – except, of course, bright and interesting pictures of the southern nature. Fedor died at the age of twenty-three, leaving behind a number of remarkable
The canvas “The Return of the Herd” brought the artist the first prize in the competition, the value of four hundred rubles – at that time it was a lot of money. The painting was immediately bought by P. Tretyakov. In the center of the picture – a flock of sheep, slowly wandering along the dusty road to the house. A woman and a girl in headscarves wander from the side, but they don’t accompany the herd – in the depths, in clouds of gray dust, shepherds’ figures can be seen in silhouettes. In the foreground – trampled light road and islands of lush green grass.
In the background – dark woods. Painting Vasilyev incredibly voluminous. White stones in the roadside thickets, a tall tree, bending under the gusts of wind, a flock of birds in the high blue sky – the viewer seems to look out the window, and before his eyes rises a picturesque rural landscape. Vasiliev subtly felt the Russian nature and painted it with amazing lyricism and love.
