one of my favourite artists is valentin serov. when i first saw his famous pictures - - the girl with peaches and the girl in the sunlight - - in the tretyakov gallery, frankly speaking, i wasn't too impressed. the girls seemed quite ordinary and i couldn't understand what was so special about these portraits.
some years later i happened to be in abramtsevo, where these two pictures had been painted. it's a very beautiful place. abramtsevo belonged to savva mamontov, a well known patron of arts. our guide told us about the people who had been invited there. it seemed that all artists, actors and writers of that period had stayed at abramtsevo or at least visited it.
when i went to the tretyakov gallery after that and looked at the girl with peaches again, i suddenly remembered that day in abramtsevo, and for the first time i noticed the play of light and shade in the picture, the atmosphere of a sunny summer day.
один из моих любимых художников - в. а. серов. когда я впервые увидел его известные картины - "девочка с персиками" и "девушка, освещенная солнцем" - в третьяковской галерее, честно говоря, я был не слишком впечатлен. девушки казались обычными, и я не мог понять, что такого особенного в этих портретах.
несколько лет спустя я оказался в абрамцеве, где эти две картины были написаны. это красивое место. абрамцево принадлежало савве мамонтову, известному меценату. наш гид рассказал нам о людях, которые туда были приглашены. казалось, что все художники, актеры и писатели того времени останаливались в абрамцеве, или, по крайней мере, его посещали.
когда я пошел в третьяковку после этого и посмотрел на "девочку с персиками" еще раз, я вдруг вспомнил, тот день в абрамцево, и впервые я заметил, игру света и тени на картине, атмосферу солнечного летнего дня.
