как описать задний план картины нестерова видение отроку Варфоломею

нормальна

The painting Im about to describe has been the subject of much discussion and unfair criticism. It wasnt well-received by many prominent artists, who tried to dissuade Nestorov, the author of this painting, from exhibiting it publicly. Some told him directly that his painting was vulgar and harmful. But the artist simply ignored what his colleagues were saying. He exhibited it at the 10th exhibition of itinerant artists, and society instantly divided into three camps: indignant colleagues, bewildered officials, and an enthusiastic public. The last group, the delighted viewers, numbered slightly more.

The painting that caused such a stir was called Vision to the Youth Varfolomei. It was the first in a series by the artist Nestorov about Sergius of Radonezh. And it was this painting that shocked the public, even though there was nothing particularly scandalous about it. The painting simply depicts an admiring young boy looking with wonder at a vision of a monk-ascetic standing near an oak tree.

The artist was merely conveying through the painting a legend about this very vision. The legend that formed the basis of the painting is as follows: One day, Father Varfolomei sent the young boy to find some missing foals. He had already searched the entire area when he happened to see an old ascetic. The young boy asked the ascetic about the path to knowledge, and the ascetic blessed him. The ascetic prayed for a gift of learning for the young boy, and Varfolomei became eloquent, read well, and wrote no worse. It was this legend that inspired the artist to begin painting the canvas; he was struck by the very atmosphere of the tale. He sought to convey this same atmosphere in his work.

Thats essentially all there is to it. But what exactly so outraged Nestorovs colleagues? They didnt like how the artist depicted the ascetic; that detail somehow caught everyones attention. It was too church-like, which, at the time, was considered the height of impropriety. However, many of Nestorovs colleagues were particularly enraged by the presence of a gold crown on the head of the ascetic. This crown troubled many people. Even during the exhibition, one of the artists took Nestorov aside and begged him to smudge the crown. Then he changed his tone and scolded him like a child: Have you completely forgotten yourself?! Its absurd, its utter nonsense. Its all against perspective! Alright, so youve depicted him that way, but if you turn the crown towards us, wont it be exactly in the center of his face? Immediately paint over it! Dont disgrace yourself! But Nestorov was pleased with this reaction to his work; it only served as a stimulus for further interest in the life of the young boy, the future Sergius of Radonezh.

Сергий Радонежский небесный покровитель России – это вам любой даже не наш масон скажет поэтому такая реакция у других художников ведь они практически все масоны при том не белого толка как Нестеров и Рерих

Чудная картина!
