Painting Spring. I. Pokhitonov.
Painting Spring. I. Pokhitonov.
Painting Spring from the series Alder has blossomed.
At the bottom right is the signature in Cyrillic and Latin I. Pokhitonov. I.Pohitonow. Presumably 1890s.
The painting depicts early spring with puddles and snow that has not yet melted. In the center of the landscape is a tree that has just blossomed. Together with the grove in the distance, it forms the triangular frame of the work. In it, diagonally, following the puddles to the elevation on the right, a damp field stretches. On the contrary, the snow patch forms a cross line and almost touches the mournful procession of rural work. The state of indefinite sadness and hope, so famous in Russian life, appears in this work.
