What is depicted on the canvas
A quick glance at the picture tounderstand - on it are drawn a girl and a boy. Most likely, this brother and sister. The girl carries the baby, hurries with him to shelter from the thunderstorm. It is impossible to be in such a bad weather in the forest and in the field, as lightning can strike. Bad weather, the tension of small characters reflects the picture. Children run away from thunderstorms and try to make it home before the rain has started, because if he soaks them, you can get sick.
The girl understands that you need to hurry home.There, under the roof, the downpour will not reach them. It is good to lie warm in the stove when it is raining outside the window. But in order to get it done as soon as possible, you need to hurry very much.
Therefore, her sister put her little brother on his back and quickly goes with him. Independently, the baby would be hard to run. VE Makovsky also understood this.
The painting "Children running from the storm": the description of the sister and brother
The artist managed to very accurately convey the viewsthe main characters, even the smallest details of their clothes. The storm is on the right, it is in this direction that the girl looks. Her gaze is focused and alert. She is trying to understand whether it will be possible to get ahead of the elements.
Although the girl herself is not yet very big, but it is clearthat she is serious and intelligent, knows how to get home faster. That is why she put her little brother on her back and is in a hurry, because she understands that it is dangerous to joke with a thunderstorm, you need to have time to reach for shelter. All these thoughts brings the picture. Children run from the weather, and while they get ahead of the element.
Одета главная героиня полотна в типичную peasant clothes - a light linen shirt and a sundress. She has a handkerchief on her head. It was indecent to appear in public at that time with a head uncovered, so the girl was dressed according to the traditions of those years.
On the brother - shirt and pants, they bullied, visiblehis bare legs. Like her sister, they have no shoes. The peasants in the summer went barefoot, as boots, shoes were an unaffordable luxury. Such shoes were worn only on holidays and before going to church.
The girl has blond hair.They are a little disheveled, and the handkerchief is lost. But the child has no time to fix it all. The boy has blond hair, he looks at us with his big piercing eyes and clings tightly to his sister. All this is conveyed in his picture Makovsky. "Children running from the thunderstorm" - a creation that causes great sympathy and compassion.
Nature
The children went to the forest for mushrooms. The girl did not abandon her prey, but wrapped it in an apron. After all, mushrooms are a good help for a peasant table.
The board of the shaky bridge caved in under the easy step of the girl, below - a small pond. The author depicted sedge, lily leaves.
On the canvas “Children Running from the Thunderstorm” the author couldto convey how the plants sway in the wind. In the foreground they are painted in dark green colors. In the back we see a yellow field. This grain has ripened, and the ears have acquired such a shade. Therefore, it can be said that the painting “Children Run From Thunderstorms” reflects the period of the end of summer.
Where does the storm come from
The wind blows in the back of the guys and slightly to the right, because their hair, grass stalks, wild flowers are directed just in the opposite direction.
Но не всё так печально на полотне.It can be seen that on the other hand the sun peeped. This means one of two things: the thunderstorm has already passed, or the children have a great chance to get home, since the element has just begun, and the heavy clouds have not yet had time to close the whole sky.
This is what is shown on the canvas “Children Running fromthunderstorms. " Description of the picture will help the reader mentally transfer at that time. When looking at the canvas, we probably want our brother and sister to get home quickly and take shelter in the heat from the weather.
