Картины на фотобумаге After the rain. Ples

Freshness, turning into a slight chilliness, barges near the shore — as a symbol of the labor Volga, a huge and empty sky, recently freed from excessive moisture: it is no coincidence that this work is considered almost the best in the entire work of the great artist. The nondescript coast is devoid of beauty and external charm. This is a place where people work, they have no time to admire nature, so nature is modest and artless. The picture is deserted, people, frightened by the rain, have not yet returned to their everyday affairs. But their presence permeates everything around: here is a small steamer running along the Volga, gangplanks thrown to the ground, goods on deck and other details. A light wind, determined by the ripples on the water surface, brings animation to the deserted landscape. The sky with light clouds gives the whole composition lightness and freedom. The town on the shore acts as a background. Several buildings, among which only the church stands out, enliven the work, giving it a multifaceted appearance.
