A story about an artist.
Ivan Trifonovich Khrutsky (1810-1885) - Russian painter, whose still lifes are distinguished by illusory image objective world. He was born on February 8, 1810 in small town Vitebsk province (now it is Belarus) in the family of a priest. The large family of a church minister lived modestly, but the parents still managed to send their first-born son to study at the lyceum. This lyceum had a museum and a hall, perfectly suited for drawing and painting.
The boy’s natural talent must have been discovered early, otherwise it is difficult to explain the provincial youth’s admission to the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts in 1827 and his subsequent successes. Khrutsky's thirst for knowledge and extraordinary energy were so great that he took lessons from a famous English portrait painter.
The artist achieved real success in creating still lifes. The earliest of them date back to the early 1830s (“Still Life with a Bird,” “Still Life with a Glass,” “Still Life with a Vase”). The still life of Ivan Khrutsky, which we will meet today, was awarded the Big Silver Medal “for painting fruits and fruits from life.” This painting is called "Flowers and Fruits".
Before we start working with Khrutsky’s painting “Flowers and Fruits,” we should remember what a still life is.
Guys, in art lessons you probably drew flowers, fruits, vegetables, berries, various items everyday life.
- What are the names of the paintings in which all this is depicted?
Such paintings are called still life. This word comes to us from French and is translated as “dead nature”
III. Conversation about the painting.
Do you like this picture? How does it make you feel?
I want to reach out and try a couple of ripe and juicy peaches or a yellow pear. Take a beautiful and lush bouquet in your hands and smell these flowers.
Everyone understands why the title of the painting contains the word flowers: a bouquet of flowers occupies the central part of the painting
.
- But why is the word fruit next in the title? Why not fruits or vegetables?
Because fruit is a common name. These are both fruits and vegetables. There are a lot of fruits in the picture, but there are also vegetables.
Look, guys, how many fruits are on the table - that’s how generous nature is! In the center of the picture - beautiful bouquet colors. Isn't it true, they immediately catch your eye.
Flowers
- What flowers make it up? Which ones are you familiar with? Describe them.
Most of all in this bouquet of peonies: pale pink, light yellow, white, bright red, turning into burgundy. Two red peonies, tilting their heads towards the glass, have several white and yellow veins.
What can these flowers be compared to? What comparison would you choose to tell the reader about flowers as best as possible, in order to create the most vivid picture of peonies?
These flowers resemble a huge hat: the flowers are “shaggy”, and their petals seem to be curly.
Look, on the other side of the bouquet the artist depicted a rose.
What can you say about this flower? What color are its petals? Are they the same color?
The rose is bright red, however, on the edges of the petals you can see a sort of soft pink fringe. This fringe separates one rose petal from the other.
Many people love roses. The expression blossomed, like a rose emphasizes the beauty, the transformation of a girl.
If this plant came to life, what human traits do you think it would have?
The rose is very beautiful, but it has thorns. It would probably be proud man, perhaps able to defend himself.
You are well aware of the flower called narcissus. Do you know any fairy tales and legends about him?
And how does the artist I. Khrutsky depict this selfish flower?
The painting “Flowers and Fruits” depicts two daffodils. They are bright yellow. From the way the artist paints each petal (they almost glow), it is clear that this flower is fragile and vulnerable.)
Look, right above the daffodils the artist depicted completely different flowers. These are hyacinths, which in themselves form a separate bouquet.
What do these flowers look like? What can you compare them to?
Each individual flower on a hyacinth branch consists of four petals and looks like a small star - even the color of some of them is soft lilac, turning into blue, ending in white.
And if these flowers became people, what character traits would they have?
Most likely, they would be quiet and peaceful, because their color is not bright, like roses, but calm. In addition, they differ from roses in their rather simple shape.
- Find flowers in the picture, also made in blue or light blue shades.
Next to the hyacinths is a soft purple iris.
Try to describe this unusual flower.
Iris petals start out yellowish in color. It is probably the most difficult thing to say about the petals of this flower: they are very unusual. Oblong, widened at the bottom, and in the center, like a small fluffy lump. You can notice some small veins on each of the flower petals. It is somehow unusual, asymmetrical.
- Look, at the very top of the bouquet there are bright blue cornflowers.
How do they look?
Small round heads, similar to cones, are held on thin fragile stems, which end in petals directed in different directions. They seem to open their core to the sun.
How do cornflowers differ from other flowers depicted by the artist?
Only these flowers grow in the field. That is why, probably, next to the cornflowers the artist depicted slender, golden-colored ears.
You correctly noticed the ears of corn in the picture.
-What word would you use to describe them? What are they like?
They are very similar to a tightly braided braid.
Tell me, what human traits do you think cornflowers might have?
They would probably be good-natured and friendly people - they are so light and airy. It seems they will rise and fly away.
What other flowers have we not noticed?
At the very edge of the vase perched sky-colored violets, inside the flower there is like a yellow rim.
Vase
- What can you say about the vase in which there are flowers? What does it show?
The vase in which the flowers stand is silver-copper in color. On it, the artist paints a tree branch in detail. We can clearly see each leaf. Under the tree are depicted animals that are very similar to dogs: they have an elongated body, a long tail, and small pointed ears. The grass under the animals' feet is also very clearly visible. Where the vase narrows, the artist depicts an ornament.
Guys, what does the word ornament mean? Choose a synonym for it.
Ornament is a pattern consisting of ordered elements for decorating any objects and architectural structures.
- Try to find adjectives for the word ornament.
Unusual, original, beautiful.
And we also say simple ornament, meaning a simple, uncomplicated, but tasteful pattern.
Look at the word unpretentious - it has the same root as the word idea “fiction”
Well, we’ve looked at every flower in the picture and the vase, but I. Khrutsky’s work is called “Flowers and Fruits.”
Fruit
- What fruits are depicted here?
Let's start with the ones you're most excited to try.
One immediately notices the bright yellow peaches with burgundy and dark red tints, carefully placed by someone in a wicker basket. Moreover, it is clear that they are placed on some leaves. Peaches attract attention and look very juicy. This can be seen from the broken peach, which lies separately from the others - on the table.
And look how the artist paints each currant! What colors does I. Khrutsky use?
The currants are shiny, sometimes red, soft pink, and sometimes beige.
On the other side of the bouquet lies a yellow pumpkin with a green tail raised to the top. It is enormous in size and seems to be divided into oblong slices.
What did the artist depict next to the pumpkin?
Juicy pears lie next to a huge pumpkin. You can see that they are sweet and juicy. It’s not just that a fly crawls along one of them.
- How attentive and observant the artist was! He even drew a fly making its journey across a juicy pear. Guys, this is a real journey for a fly. Look how small the fly is and how big the fruit must seem to it! And there’s nothing to say about pumpkin! For an insect, a pumpkin is just another planet.
- Let's think about where the fly will go next?
What other fruits are shown?
There is a clear glass decanter right behind the pumpkin. It is about a quarter filled with water. Near the vase with a bouquet of flowers is a transparent glass of water. It contains a slice of lemon
- Let's think, guys, does anything in this still life say about the presence of a person?
A slice of lemon in a glass, a slice of lemon lying near a pear, a bunch of grapes torn from a bunch, and a peach broken in half indicate the presence of a person.
IV. Work with text.
- Well done boys! So, we have described each object depicted in I. Khrutsky’s still life.
And here’s how art critic D.N. describes this picture. Lebedeva.
Juicy, appetizing, tender fruits... Fragrant, fragile, fragrant flowers... The artist I. Khrutsky managed all this superbly. The unusually bright painting “Flowers and Fruits” depicts our favorite fruits and flowers.
The composition of the painting highlights a luxurious bouquet of flowers, composed of large-petaled peonies, roses, tulips, hyacinths, irises, stems and spikelets of cereals. Together with the vase, the flowers fill the entire central part of the canvas, almost reaching its upper edge. The artist carefully combines fruits, berries and fruits around a bouquet of flowers, filling a basket with them. Craftsmanship human hands: baskets and boxes - move from picture to picture as their indispensable “characters”. An equally beloved “hero” since the late 1830s has been a magnificent jug with a relief image of dogs and an elegant handle in the shape of a fox figure, in which there are flowers. A glass filled halfway with water with a slice of lemon placed in it emphasizes with its transparency the fleshy density of the ceramic product. A slice of lemon at the edge of the tabletop brings the necessary revitalization and enhances the feeling of human presence. Such still lifes were supposed to be a “delight for the eyes,” but the artist could not help but notice a flower touched by withering, the weathered edges of a peach divided into halves, and dried lemon peel.

Ivan Fomich Khrutsky: short biography
The future artist was born in 1810 on January 27. His birthplace is known today as Belarus. However, in those years she was part of Russian Empire, so it's small homeland- Vitebsk province was part of Russia. Parents treated catholic church, were very pious.
The artist himself showed an interest in painting from childhood, so he began to develop abilities in this direction early. He was educated at the IAH (Imperial Academy of Arts) and there for a long time have worked. At one time he had access to paintings from the Hermitage with the right to copy them.
The main painting styles in which he worked are as follows:
- academic direction;
- classicism;
- baroque.
Both in Russia and in Poland, Khrutsky is known as an excellent painter, specializing mainly in beautiful and richly colored still lifes. In addition to them, he painted landscapes, portraits, and other paintings. However, it was his beautiful still life works that brought him wide fame in artistic circles. fruit") - Khrutsky’s most. Still life still causes a lot of discussion around the world to this day.
Painting "Flowers and Fruits"
It was written by Ivan Fomich in 1836. The description of Khrutsky’s painting “Flowers and Fruits” today finds expression not only in oral statements, but also in school essays children, descriptions in fiction articles, and so on.
Behind this picture the artist received a very good and well-deserved award - a large one from the Academic Council. This practically confirmed the general impression of silent admiration that the canvas evoked among the public.
Description of Khrutsky’s painting “Flowers and Fruits”
The painting depicts a vase of flowers in the center of the canvas. beautiful and very cute small lilac and white flowers are combined with large pink and blue buds and open flowers. The splendor of the bouquet is given by branches of feather grass and some beautiful wide long leaves of field grasses.
The overall impression of the vase with flowers is joyful and good. The picture evokes a feeling of freshness and lifts your spirits.
Even a child can describe Khrutsky’s painting “Flowers and Fruits”. It is so simple and accessible, but at the same time deep and capacious about the objects depicted. In addition to the vase with flowers, a glass of water is clearly depicted in the picture. Absolutely clear, clean water in which a lemon slice floats.
A basket of colored grapes and a wicker box of juicy peaches, pumpkins and pears are also highlighted in the piece. In the background you can see a decanter of water.
Bright accents in paintings
Khrutsky's painting "Flowers and Fruits", painted in 1838, almost completely repeats the plot of the still life "Flowers and Fruits". In both paintings there are bright accents - a vase with flowers, juicy, as if real, fruits and self made wicker boxes for them.
If the description of "Flowers and Fruits" comes down to such bright spots as a glass of water with a slice of lemon and bright blue and pink flower buds in a vase, then "Flowers and Fruits" differs in only one thing. The fruits are somewhat different, and the flower vase is completely transparent and is located not in the center, but on the side of the picture.
But, despite such similarity in plot and content, both films deserve separate reviews, separate discussions and descriptions. After all, the differences are obvious, and the overall impression of the paintings is different.
Naturalness of fruit writing
The artist Khrutsky tried to paint the paintings as naturally as possible. And he undoubtedly succeeded. Looking at juicy peaches, large grapes and lemon glistening with juice, it’s hard not to feel their taste and not want to try it right away.
The painter’s work deserves special praise for the nativeness and naturalness of the depicted objects. Here lies a pear. Ruddy on one side, as if it had just been picked from a tree, where on one side it was covered with the shadow of leaves, and on the other it turned to the sun. Nearby you can see a second pear, but already cut in half. It is juicy, shiny with sweet moisture. Even the seeds are drawn so clearly and accurately that there is no doubt about their naturalness.
It was thanks to such a feature of the great artist as the naturalness of painting still lifes that he managed to become famous and become very famous. There are few such people, because in XVIII-XIX centuries Few painted still lifes, especially those of such quality and beauty in execution and content.
The description of Khrutsky’s painting “Flowers and Fruits” can be reduced to the moment of constructing a composition for working on the painting. It is obvious that the artist thought out all the smallest details of the location of each object, the rotation of each fruit and fruit, the position of all objects on the surface of the table.
Popularity of a work of art
It is not so difficult to judge how popular the still lifes of Ivan Fomich Khrutsky are. Indeed, today his works “Flowers and Fruits” and “Flowers and Fruits” are topics for schoolchildren’s essays. The canvases are in Tretyakov Gallery and enjoy the constant attention and love of the public.
In 1838, Khrutsky was awarded a gold medal in the field of painting for his excellent work “Flowers and Fruits.” Until now, his still lifes are copied and used to decorate premises, restaurant and creative halls. Anyone (and there are many) can purchase a small copy wonderful works artist. But, naturally, natural paintings delight the eye only on the walls of the famous gallery.

An essay based on the painting by I. T. Khrutsky “Flowers and Fruits”.
"Still Life" - French word, in the literal sense it means "dead nature", but it is more fair when such a genre is spoken of as " quiet life things", because in each such picture the presence of a person is felt, and the objects carry the warmth of his hands. Before starting to paint a still life, the artist carefully selects everything necessary and arranges it according to his taste, i.e. builds a composition.
In the center of I. T. Khrutsky’s painting “Flowers and Fruits” is a tall vase with flowers. A basket of peaches, pumpkins, pears, and grapes balance the lush bouquet. The artist could move the vase to the left or right and leave a void in the center. But then the mood of the still life would be deprived of peace, and a feeling of anxiety would appear.
Khrutsky’s painting is an image of abundance, beauty, generous gifts of nature, so everything in it is stable and harmonious. The painter talks about each subject in detail. They are painted in such a way that the artist makes us admire the transparent fragility of the glass, the water in the glass - cold, clean and transparent, ripe fruits. The pumpkin here is large, rough and lumpy, it would be difficult to hold it in your hands. And a branch of amber grapes with seeds shining from the inside seems to be so light that if you lift it by its dry tail, you will not feel the weight.
Khrutsky not only makes you feel the weight of objects, but also perfectly conveys their texture. The lemon has a porous zest, and next to it there is a glossy apple, the peaches are matte, velvety, the marble of the table is cold and smooth, the basket is rough. The still life even evokes taste sensations: lemon and currants are sour, pears and peaches are juicy and sweet.
The painting miraculously contains flowers and fruits of summer and autumn: peonies bloom in June, grapes ripen in September, pumpkins in October. Still life tells about the steady and leisurely flow of life itself
Description of the painting by I. T. Khrutsky “Flowers and Fruits”.
In front of me is a still life outstanding artist I.T. Khrutsky "Flowers and Fruits". This painting has a rather complex composition, as it depicts many large and small elements. Despite such an abundance of details, the picture does not look overloaded. In the very center of the canvas is a luxurious bouquet of flowers in a vase. There are lush bright pink peonies, graceful irises, and modest cornflowers. Flowers stand in a vase with a relief ornament. Next to the vase is a crystal glass clean water with a slice of lemon. This water was probably poured from the decanter located on the right behind the pumpkin. Another slice lies on the table next to the cut lemon. The artist depicted in the picture not only a lemon, but also many other fruits. Five pears lie next to the cut lemon. Khrutsky uses warm yellow to convey the ripeness of these aromatic fruits. A small sprig of green grapes hangs on one of the pears. Just a few berries hang from the pear, and this detail defines the space of the picture. Two grapes hang just below the surface of the table and this is a real find of the artist. By this he wanted to show that the beauty, color, brightness and aroma of flowers and fruits are not limited to the space of the table, such beauty is everywhere and should be seen in simple things. Behind the pears in the background we see a pumpkin. From time immemorial, Russian people have grown this crop, and there is a clear connection with Russian traditions. There is a large bunch of ripe grapes on the pumpkin. The berries are large, and the artist skillfully depicts their ripeness and juiciness. To the left of the vase with flowers lies a small rectangular basket with apricots. To show the juiciness of the fruit, the artist depicted one apricot cut in half. Behind these fruits is another basket full of sea buckthorn. And on top of the berries lie several ears of wheat. The whole picture is a peculiar mix of colors, flowers and fruits. This canvas contains mainly bright and rich colors, which set the overall tone of the whole picture. Warm yellow, delicate pink, modest blue, bright green - such shades are typical for summer. This is what produces so many fruits, vegetables, berries and flowers. And the artist very subtly conveyed all the richness of this time of year and chose a surprisingly accurate title for the painting - “Flowers and Fruits.”
