Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin is a Russian artist, an unsurpassed master of landscape and pastoral. Every schoolboy probably knows Shishkin’s name - so often his works are found on the pages of books and textbooks, and the museum necessarily tells about him separately. Shishkin was an honorary academician, head of the landscape workshop, and has trained dozens of talented artists. But despite all the active work in the artistic community of his time, Ivan Ivanovich became famous, of course, for his paintings. The landscapes of Russian nature, familiar to anyone who has ever left the city, turn heads with their vividness, vitality and realism.

Description of the painting "The Road in the Rye" by Ivan Shishkin
Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin is a Russian artist, an unsurpassed master of landscape and pastoral. Every schoolboy probably knows Shishkin’s name - so often his works are found on the pages of books and textbooks, and the museum necessarily tells about him separately.
Shishkin was an honorary academician, head of the landscape workshop, and has trained dozens of talented artists. But despite all the active work in the artistic community of his time, Ivan Ivanovich became famous, of course, for his paintings.
The landscapes of Russian nature, familiar to anyone who has ever left the city, turn heads with their vividness, vitality and realism. "The Road in the Rye" was and still is one of the masterpieces of the painter’s brush.
The painting depicts exactly what its succinct title indicates - a road that cuts through fields of rye. As in all the other landscapes, the canvas is divided into two parts by a clear strip of horizon. The light blue sky, telling the viewer of good weather, is dotted with snow-white clouds.
The horizon is barely cut through by trees, which means the field and, with it, the road stretch still very far from the depicted place. The bright yellow rye is pleasing to the eye, enhancing the mood, as if the sun appears in the picture, flooding everything around with light.
Clearly in the middle, in the very center of the picture, Shishkin places a small figure of a man - a wayfarer, in a dark canvas garment and with a white bundle behind his back, holding on to a long stick that will help him go the whole long way that lies ahead.
There are elements in the work that are typical and atypical of Shishkin. The drawing of the grass and details, down to the stick of the traveler, is very much like an artist - he is interested in each element, to which the master will give the same meaning as to the whole. But, for example, the panoramic format of a painting is quite rare.
It was probably chosen by Shishkin in this case to enhance the sense of extension, to help the viewer feel the landscape better.

Я бы назвал эту картину "Земной путь", тогда она бы воспринималась гораздо глубже: человек идёт в любом случае один по своему жизненному пути, можно пойти широко проторенной дорогой, а можно пойти своей тропинкой в ненастье и грозу (слева). Если рассматривать картину в таком контексте, то эта самая сильная вещь у художника.

The picture has something of this: cropland, landscape, water, agriculture, daylight, outdoors, scenic, river, farm, lake, tree, sky, weather, storm, field, environment, vehicle, grassland.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a person walking down a dirt road in a wheat field under a cloudy sky with a person standing on the side of the road.
