As they say in Russia there are two troubles - roads and fools. About the fools, I guess that’s true. But about roads - that’s an accurate statement. Roads in Russia have been and still are unsightly, regardless of progress or anything else. And even if they make a good road, it will not last long. And, as a rule, only central roads are made good, and those in the country - as under Tsar Gorokh - with potholes, with impassable mud in spring and autumn, and in summer - dusty, in winter - under large drifts. Even if even then not any cart could overcome such roads, now not any tractor can easily pass there.

Description of Konstantin Kryzhitsky’s painting "The Road
As they say in Russia there are two troubles - roads and fools. About the fools, I guess that’s true. But about roads - that’s an accurate statement.
Roads in Russia have been and still are unsightly, regardless of progress or anything else. And even if they make a good road, it will not last long. And, as a rule, only central roads are made good, and those in the country - as under Tsar Gorokh - with potholes, with impassable mud in spring and autumn, and in summer - dusty, in winter - under large drifts.
Even if even then not any cart could overcome such roads, now not any tractor can easily pass there. In general, it is not a road, it is a test of human endurance and endurance of machinery.
Passed the test - the road is yours and you can go on, did not pass - stuck in the mud - help will not come right away.
On the road Kryzhitsky summer road and leads to a small village with a small church. Around the fields of wheat, and somewhere in the distance you can see the village. And people are walking along the road and, by all appearances, they have already come from their work in the fields.
In summertime, there is no other job in the fields than to look after the harvest and, if necessary, to gather it. The painter has painted this landscape brightly and lushly, not stingy in colors. And the sky breathes with its own life and the earth does not lag behind: a lot of wheat, and the grass in green on the edges of the road. And the sky is in clouds, lush and probably rainy. On the one hand it’s good that it’s raining, but on the other hand water can spoil summer harvest and there will be nothing in crops.
That’s why people have to work in the fields from early morning till dusk. But the main thing that the artist managed to convey - the color of the countryside, the nature of the region. You just want to be there and walk barefoot on the dusty road. It’s especially nice to walk there after the rain, not right after it’s over, but a little later.
You cannot comment Why?
The picture has something of this: landscape, sky, field, outdoors, countryside, rural, nature, grass, agriculture, cropland, daylight, cloud, farm, tree, summer, fair weather, sun, pasture, road.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a woman walking down a dirt road in a wheat field with a blue sky and white clouds above her and two people walking down the road.
