Description of Ilya Ostroukhov’s painting The First Green
Since childhood, Ilya Semenovich Ostroukhov had a keen interest in flora and fauna. Day after day he collected and collected unusual finds of nature. Only when he was a student, Ostroukhov took up his brush and painted his first landscapes, which as a naturalist he could find.
The artist followed the example of Repin and Shishkin, but did not seek to repeat them. Without any dramatization and melancholy, he created natural pictures, full of life and soul.
Many artists and poets sought to convey the beauty of their native land. In the painting we can easily recognize the nature of the suburbs. It mixed everything that characterizes Russia, its natural beauty. Spring just heralds its arrival with the first green of grass and leaves, which are still a bit yellowish. To replace the bitter frost with notes of sadness, comes the joy of new life.
Only the bare trunks of the birches, aspens, and spruces of this mixed forest are still visible. Water conveys to the viewer not only the tranquility of nature’s awakening, but also a reminder that summer is not yet soon and the cold has not yet receded. There is a sense that man in the midst of this world is only a beholder, who can only observe and admire the fullness of life and the wonders of nature.
The painting represents a traditionally Russian landscape, where coolness and silence reign in the morning. The sun is already touching the grass and leaves. The snow has gone and the river is beginning to fill in, but you can still see small islands of land where sprouts are just barely visible dots.
Nests have already been woven into tree branches to serve as homes for birds. A few colored strokes signifying flowers can be seen among the grass.
The artist uses few colors, but fully conveys the feelings he himself experienced when he saw this beauty. Simplicity and naturalness are the main features of the painting, which occupies not the last place in the Russian gallery.

The picture has something of this: landscape, water, wood, fall, nature, river, tree, outdoors, scenic, reflection, lake, leaf, environment, dawn, park, grass, stream, sky.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a river in the middle of a forest with lots of trees and grass on both sides of the river, and birds flying over the water.
