Very beautiful painting. Its a shame that the date of creation is not mentioned. I love painting!
VERY BEAUTIFUL AND VIVID PAINTING.
I agree! I would really like to know when it was written!
The painting is wonderful! Indeed, I would like to know the date it was painted.
Personally, I dont understand what the author intended to convey with this painting, even though it captures your attention. However, it is still rather simplistic and doesnt invite contemplation.
Language is powerless before art.
Great! Id also like to know a bit about its creation story. Most of your viewers are not experts.
Its not natural, like cartoons...
A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE!!!
классс
No, well, whats up? In general, everything is fine... Its just a pity about the rabbit...
Its strange that I cant see anything clearly and dont understand whats happening!
Obviously, the scene takes place immediately after a hunt. The time of year is summer or autumn. The weather is beautiful, the horses are well-groomed, and its clear that the scene is taking place near the home of some noble gentleman.
The hunt was successful: theres a hare and a roe deer (or something similar) in the foreground on the lower left corner, along with a pair of birds – game, I think (Im not an expert, but it looks like a quail higher up and a grouse lower down), which havent been removed from the horse in the foreground yet...
And so on.
You could write a lot more if you wanted to and were paying close attention :)
And when you look at everything in detail, such details become apparent... For example, a small dog is simply sleeping soundly :)))
The year of creation, and the authors signature, which can be found in the lower right corner on a close-up view, is 1843.
In my opinion, the year 1845 is written there... I might be wrong.
A magnificent painting in the yard brings a fairy tale to life :)!!!
This is amazing; there are no words to describe it.
Bright and vibrant, I like it.
Masterpieces, incredibly majestic! Im 64 years old and have been dreaming of seeing them, but it hasnt worked out yet.
wonderful
Great! The painting is beautiful, and its even better that theres an opportunity to see this masterpiece, because not everyone can visit museums. Thank you!
The painting really catches the eye, but you cant describe it as lively – all the animals look like theyre from a cartoon.
Gentlemen!!! This is BEAUTIFUL!! Its wonderful, like life itself! And theres nothing to discuss!
A disgusting sight! Dead animals – birds, a fawn, and a little rabbit. Those who kill animals will be rewarded handsomely! And those who delight in such sights are not human. So, is it acceptable to kill animals but not children, relatives? Thats unfair.
A beautiful image – it would look great on a jewelry box or a hunting set. Its glamorous, somehow...
The date is indicated after the name of the painting!
I really like it.
The painting is magnificent! Amazing!
The painting is shameful! Strange comments... And if there were murdered people in it, would that also be amazing? This depiction of the death of innocent animals evokes only sadness and anger.
Its a fantastic painting. The horses immediately draw the eye; they are clearly the focus, while everything else represents the realities of that time... a country hunting lodge, horses, dogs – you can almost imagine seeing the scene from which the artist painted!
A remarkable scene unfolds – the interaction of animals. They communicate with each other in their own language, sharing impressions about the hunt.
Everything depicted in this painting does not reflect the spirit and worldview of a Soviet person. The painting lacks the fundamental principles of socialist realism. It doesnt feature any workers who, essentially, create the conditions for a carefree life for idlers. The horses are too clean and well-groomed. Its hard to believe they ran for a long time in the fields. Furthermore, for realisms sake, it would have been helpful to paint a couple of piles of manure on the rocks.
Overall, the painting by this artist does not reflect the thoughts and aspirations of Soviet people; it doesnt call anyone or inspire them to achieve labor feats for the sake of a bright future. Its a beautiful picture about nothing.
Excellent painting. The horses and dogs are simply magnificent. The porch and path are wonderful – the large stones are so well laid. And features like these awnings, door handles, and knockers can still be found in old houses.
Its very beautiful.
THE PAINTING IS BEAUTIFUL; HORSES ALWAYS ATTRACT THE EYE AND THEY ARE ENCHANTING.
Smart girl. At least one attentive person!
You cannot comment Why?
Several dogs of various breeds are present. On the stone steps leading to a rustic wooden door, a large dark dog and two smaller hounds rest or look alert. A distinctive white pointer stands out near the horses, its head tilted as if observing them.
Adding to the hunting theme, a deceased deer and two hares lie on the stone path in the lower left corner of the painting, clearly spoils of the hunt. Above them, in the upper right quadrant of the image, the taxidermied head of a stag is mounted on the wall, peering out from behind abundant green foliage that climbs the building. This mounted head serves as a prominent symbol and perhaps a trophy.
The setting itself is a courtyard or porch of what seems to be a rural dwelling, suggested by the weathered wooden door, stone steps, and the presence of lush greenery. The overall atmosphere conveyed is one of rustic prosperity and the successful outcome of a traditional country pursuit. The painting combines elements of equine portraiture with a genre scene focused on hunting.
