Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin is an outstanding Russian landscape artist. He created many paintings in which he glorifies the beauty and poetry of his native lands. Endless forest expanses, birch and oak groves flooded with sunlight, mighty ship pines….
His canvases amazingly accurately and realistically depict a variety of vegetable world, which seems to come to life under the master’s brush, breathes, gives us freshness and coolness, evokes evening sadness or, conversely, awakens the bright joy of contemplating beauty. Painting "Morning in pine forest“Many of us have known and loved since childhood. No wonder it is considered one of the best works Shishkina.
The painting depicts a large family of bears. One early summer morning, three little bear cubs and their mother bear went out for a walk. The sun is just rising. It gently illuminates the tops of huge pines. Thick fog envelops the forest. It will soon dissipate from the sun's rays. In the small clearing where the bears had gathered, it had almost melted.
The animals wandered into a coniferous forest and accidentally discovered an old withered tree that had broken during a recent storm. Its trunk broke into two parts with a crash, and huge roots even turned up the ground.
The cubs depicted in the picture are brown in color. They are not quite big yet, mischievous, club-footed. Two of them have white collars around their necks. The bravest of them climbed almost to the very top of the trunk of a broken tree and hung on its very edge, clinging to the rough bark with his claws, in danger of falling into the ravine. And the second one has only reached the middle.
He probably also wants to climb higher, but he’s scared. Here he is, clumsy, and sat on a tree, helplessly looking at the mother bear, not knowing what to do next. The third, the most careful one, climbed onto the other half of the broken tree, which fell onto the slope of the ravine, but did not roll into it, but caught its branches on the trunk of a neighboring pine tree. The bear cub cautiously stood on its hind legs, slightly tilted its head and listened to the sounds of the waking forest, peering into the thick fog. There, in the fog, tall, green pines sway and rustle.
The bear is large, shaggy, brown in color. Like any mother, she worries about her mischievous cubs, who are playful and restless. She even growls and probably warns them that they might fall out of the tree and should be careful. Or maybe she noticed some danger and wants to warn her children about it. It's time to finish the morning walk and go deep into the forest. She rushes from one bear cub to another, the dark green grass beneath her is trampled.
The artist skillfully conveys the atmosphere of the early morning in the forest. Soft diffused light falls through the dense crowns of trees and seems golden. In the background, the fog stands like a veil, through which the slender trunks of pine trees can be discerned. Thanks to the slightly blurred background, the viewer's attention is focused on the bear family.
I really like this picture because it depicts a fun and lively subject, and the bear cubs are so cute and funny. I just want to play with them, stroke their soft brown fur!
In the picture famous artist I. I. Shishkin depicts an early morning in the forest. The pine forest is awakening from sleep, the sun has not yet fully come out and has not yet had time to warm up the clearing. Tall green pines are shrouded in thick fog.
The mother bear and three brown bear cubs had already woken up and went out to frolic in the forest clearing. The clubfooted bear cubs, still very small, climbed onto a huge fallen tree. It was uprooted from the ground, apparently after a recent hurricane.
One, the most agile bear cub, climbed to the very top of the broken trunk. He watches the second bear cub, who sat down in the middle of the trunk and looks at the bear. The third, apparently the smallest of them, stands on another broken part of a mighty tree, his gaze directed deep into the forest.
A large, brown bear closely monitors the mischievous cubs. She knows that the forest is fraught with many dangers and is ready to protect her children at any time.
When you look at a picture, it’s as if you are immersed in it. You feel the cool breath of the green forest, hear the forest rustles and sounds made by animals, birds and insects.
The plot of the film turned out to be lively and quite realistic. Wildlife delights, and funny little bear cubs touch you and make you want to be in a clearing and play with them.
Essay on the painting Morning in a Pine Forest by Shishkin
In front of me is a creation by I. Shishkin “Morning in a Pine Forest” (sometimes called “Morning in a Pine Forest”). This painting can truly be called the most famous masterpiece, because everyone, both children and adults, undoubtedly knows this beautiful painting.
With unprecedented trepidation, care and tenderness, the artist masterfully painted every needle of the mighty pine trees, every root and twig. Inspired by the power and grandeur of nature, he breathed into his creation the unprecedented realism and magic of an ordinary forest morning.
The painting depicts the morning hours in a pine thicket. Nature is just waking up after a cool night, cold dew has fallen on the grass and trees, the air is clean and fresh. The air is still cold, but it’s about to warm up, and the smell of rotten grass and pine needles will spread throughout the forest. Surely the day will be hot, and therefore this cool morning is truly wonderful.
There is silence in the gloomy forest, only occasionally the cry of an early bird cuts through the wilderness.
Giant pine trees, majestically reaching into the sky, greet the first rays of sunshine sliding across the treetops with their bushy branches. Sunrise is the awakening and beginning of a new day. And all of nature is looking forward to his arrival.
Warm golden and yellow shades are mesmerizing, contrasting brightly with the dark palette of the gloomy forest, which creates the image of a mysterious mysterious forest, as if stepped out of the pages of Russian folk tales. Muted, calm tones do not irritate the eyes, but rather delight the eye.
In the center of the picture are the main characters, without whom the painting would lose its charm.
The she-bear and her three brave cubs, having woken up with the first rays of the sun, are already in full swing in the forest, prowling in search of food.
Mischievous kids started a game - they jump and climb on a fallen pine tree trunk, as if they were playing tag. The furry animals look completely defenseless, but under the supervision of their vigilant mother, they are safe. Huge fallen trees, like heroes defeated in battle, lie high with their gnarled thick roots reared up, showing with all their appearance their former strength and power.
The brown mother grumbles with displeasure, trying to pacify the naughty child, but the nimble little hooligans do not take their mother’s angry growls seriously.
Looking at the picture, it is as if you are inhaling the aroma of the forest, its pine freshness, you feel the shady coolness of the forest, you hear the rustle of the breeze, the cracking of branches under the strong paws of animals.
Together with the inspired creator, imbued with the beauty of Russian nature, the viewer will involuntarily hold his breath, amazed by the deep mystery of life and joy that radiates from the landscape.

Essay “Morning in a pine forest” based on Shishkin’s painting, grade 5
You’ve probably been familiar with Shishkin’s painting “Morning in a Pine Forest” since childhood. Even if you are not deeply interested in art, almost everyone is familiar with this picture, thanks to its image on the candy. A mother bear with three cubs against the backdrop of a pine forest.
Shishkin’s idea was suggested to him by his friend, also an artist. And he even had a hand in adding bears to the landscape. They turned out so well that the artists both signed the painting. However, Tretyakov, who later acquired this painting, left only Shishkin’s signature and covered up the second signature. Considering that the main style of writing is still closer in spirit to Shishkin.
And, indeed, Shishkin very accurately conveyed the general atmosphere of the awakening forest. We can observe the rays of the rising morning sun, which just touches the treetops. In the depths of the picture, the forest is shrouded in morning fog. And its lightness and airiness conveys to the observer a freshness that is usually still present at this time of day.
In the foreground is a whole bear family. A mother bear and three little bear cubs frolicking on a large fallen tree. It can be assumed that they just crawled out of the den after a night's sleep. They are not yet so playful and sleepy, but the mother does not sleep and watches the area and her pets, growling a little at her careless offspring.
The picture is very positive both in its motif and colors. The artist very accurately conveyed the atmosphere of awakening nature.

The painting by Vladimir Egorovich Makovsky depicts a summer day, two people in a boat fishing. One of them is still very small, the second is older, looks like a grandfather. They enjoy nature
Plot
With rare exceptions, the subject of Shishkin's paintings (if you look at this issue broadly) is one - nature. Ivan Ivanovich is an enthusiastic, loving contemplator. And the viewer becomes an eyewitness to the painter’s meeting with his native expanses.
Shishkin was an extraordinary expert on the forest. He knew everything about trees of different species and noticed errors in the drawing. During plein airs, the artist’s students were ready to literally hide in the bushes, just so as not to hear criticism in the spirit of “Such a birch cannot exist” or “these pine trees are fake.”
The students were so afraid of Shishkin that they hid in the bushes
As for people and animals, they occasionally appeared in Ivan Ivanovich’s paintings, but they were more of a background than an object of attention. “Morning in a Pine Forest” is perhaps the only painting where bears compete with the forest. For this, thanks to one of Shishkin’s best friends - the artist Konstantin Savitsky. He suggested such a composition and depicted animals. True, Pavel Tretyakov, who bought the canvas, erased Savitsky’s name, so for a long time the bears were attributed to Shishkin.
Portrait of Shishkin by I. N. Kramskoy. 1880
Context
Before Shishkin, it was fashionable to paint Italian and Swiss landscapes. “Even in those rare cases when artists took on the task of depicting Russian localities, Russian nature became Italianized, adjusted to the ideal of Italian beauty,” recalled Alexandra Komarova, Shishkin’s niece. Ivan Ivanovich was the first who painted Russian nature realistically with such ecstasy. So that looking at his paintings, a person would say: “There is a Russian spirit there, it smells like Russia.”
Rye. 1878
And now the story of how Shishkin’s canvas became a wrapper. Around the same time that “Morning in a Pine Forest” was presented to the public, Julius Geis, head of the Einem Partnership, was brought a candy to try: a thick layer of almond praline between two wafer plates and enrobed chocolate. The confectioner liked the candy. Geis thought about the name. Then his gaze lingered on a reproduction of a painting by Shishkin and Savitsky. This is how the idea of “Teddy Bear” came about.
The wrapper, familiar to everyone, appeared in 1913, created by the artist Manuil Andreev. To the plot of Shishkin and Savitsky, he added a frame of fir branches and the stars of Bethlehem - in those years, candy was the most expensive and desired gift for the Christmas holidays. Over time, the wrapper has gone through various adjustments, but remains conceptually the same.
The fate of the artist
“Lord, will my son really be a painter!” — Ivan Shishkin’s mother lamented when she realized that she could not convince her son, who had decided to become an artist. The boy was terribly afraid of becoming an official. And, by the way, it’s good that he didn’t. The fact is that Shishkin had an uncontrollable urge to draw. Literally every sheet that was in Ivan’s hands was covered with drawings. Just imagine what the official Shishkin could do with the documents!
Shishkin knew all the botanical details about trees
Ivan Ivanovich studied painting first in Moscow, then in St. Petersburg. Life was hard. The artist Pyotr Neradovsky, whose father studied and lived with Ivan Ivanovich, wrote in his memoirs: “Shishkin was so poor that he often did not have his own boots. To go out somewhere from the house, it happened that he put on his father's boots. On Sundays they went to lunch together with my father’s sister.”
In the wild north. 1891
But everything was forgotten in the summer in the open air. Together with Savrasov and other classmates, they went somewhere out of town and painted sketches from life there. “It was there, in nature, that we really learned... In nature, we studied, and also took a break from the casts,” Shishkin recalled. Even then he chose the theme of his life: “I truly love the Russian forest and only write about it. The artist needs to choose the one thing that he loves most... There is no way to throw it away.” By the way, Shishkin learned to masterfully paint Russian nature abroad. He studied in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Switzerland. The paintings brought from Europe brought in the first decent money.
After the death of his wife, brother and son, Shishkin drank for a long time and could not work
Meanwhile, in Russia, the Peredvizhniki protested against the academicians. Shishkin was incredibly happy about this. In addition, many of the rebels were friends of Ivan Ivanovich. True, over time he quarreled with both of them and was very worried about this.
Shishkin died suddenly. I sat down at the canvas, just about to start working, and yawned once. and that's all. This is exactly what the painter wanted - “instantly, right away, so as not to suffer.” Ivan Ivanovich was 66 years old.
Probably, perhaps the most famous painting by the Russian painter is "Morning in a pine forest". This picture has been known and loved by many since childhood from the wrapping of no less beloved chocolates “Bear Clubfoot”. Only a few paintings by Russian artists can compete with the popularity of this work of art.
The idea for the painting was once suggested to the painter Shishkin by the artist Konstantin Savitsky, who acted as a co-author and depicted the figures of bears. As a result, Savitsky turned out the animals so well that he signed the painting together with Shishkin. But when Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov acquired the painting, he removed Savitsky’s signature, and the authorship remained only with Shishkin. Tretyakov believed that everything in the picture speaks of the painting style and creative method characteristic of Shishkin.
The canvas depicts a dense thicket of a pine forest with a fallen, broken tree on the edge of a ravine. The left side of the picture still retains the twilight of the cold night of the dense forest. Moss covers uprooted tree roots and fallen broken branches. Soft green grass creates a feeling of comfort and tranquility. But the rays rising sun They have already gilded the tops of centuries-old pines and made the morning haze glow. And although the sun is not yet able to completely dispel this night fog, hiding the entire depth of the pine forest from the viewer’s view, the cubs are already playing on the broken trunk of a fallen pine, and the mother bear is guarding them. One of the cubs, having climbed up the trunk closer to the ravine, stands on its hind legs and looks curiously into the distance at the light of the haze from the rising sun.
We see not just a monumental canvas about the greatness and beauty of Russian nature. Before us is not only a deep, dense frozen forest with its deep power, but a living picture of nature. Sunlight breaking through the haze and columns of tall trees makes you feel the depth of the ravine behind the fallen pine tree, the power of the centuries-old trees. The light of the morning sun still looks timidly into this pine forest. But they already feel it coming sunny morning animals - frolicking bear cubs and their mother. The picture is filled with movement and life thanks not only to these four bears loving solitude in the forest, but also to the transitional moment of the awakening early sunny morning after a cold night accurately depicted by the painter. The peaceful smile of the forest spreads: the day will be sunny. It begins to seem to the viewer that the birds have already begun to sing their morning songs. The beginning of a new day promises light and tranquility!
To start: As you know, many epochal events in world history are inextricably linked with the city of Vyatka (in some versions - Kirov (which is Sergei Mironych)). What is the reason for this - the stars may have risen this way, maybe the air or alumina there is particularly healing, maybe the collahedron influenced, but the fact remains: no matter what particularly significant happens in the world, “Vyatka’s hand” can be traced in almost everything. However, until now no one has taken upon themselves the responsibility and hard work of systematizing all significant phenomena that are directly related to the history of Vyatka. In this situation, a group of young promising historians (in my person) undertook to carry out this attempt. As a result, a series of highly artistic scientific and historical essays about documented historical facts under the heading "Vyatka - the birthplace of elephants." Which is what I plan to post on this resource from time to time. So, let's begin.
Vyatka - the birthplace of elephants
Vyatka bear - main character painting “Morning in a pine forest”
Art historians have long proven that Shishkin painted the painting “Morning in a Pine Forest” from life, and not from the wrapper of the “Teddy Bear” candy. The history of writing the masterpiece is quite interesting.
In 1885, Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin decided to paint a canvas that would reflect the deep strength and immense power of the Russian pine forest. The artist chose the Bryansk forests as the place to paint the canvas. For three months Shishkin lived in a hut, seeking unity with nature. The result of the action was the landscape “Sosnovy Bor. Morning". However, Ivan Ivanovich’s wife Sofya Karlovna, who served as the main expert and critic of the great painter’s paintings, felt that the canvas lacked dynamics. At the family council, it was decided to add forest life to the landscape. Initially, it was planned to “launch” hares along the canvas, however, their small dimensions would hardly have been able to convey power and strength Russian forest. We had to choose from three textured representatives of the fauna: bear, wild boar and elk. The selection was made using the cut-off method. The boar disappeared immediately - Sofya Karlovna did not like pork. Sokhaty also did not qualify for the competition, since an elk climbing a tree would have looked unnatural. In search of a suitable bear that won the tender, Shishkin was again resettled in the Bryansk forests. However, this time he was disappointed. All Bryansk bears seemed skinny and unattractive to the painter. Shishkin continued his search in other provinces. For 4 years the artist wandered through the forests of the Oryol, Ryazan and Pskov regions, but never found an exhibit worthy of a masterpiece. “The bear is not purebred today, maybe a wild boar will do after all?” Shishkin wrote to his wife from the hut. Sofya Karlovna helped her husband here too - in Brem’s encyclopedia “Animal Life” she read that the bears living in the Vyatka province have the best exterior. A biologist described the brown bear of the Vyatka line as “a well-built animal with a correct bite and well-standing ears.” Shishkin went to Vyatka, Omutninsky district, in search of the ideal animal. On the sixth day of living in the forest, not far from his cozy dugout, the artist discovered a den of magnificent representatives of the brown bear breed. The bears also discovered Shishkin and Ivan Ivanovich completed them from memory. In 1889, the great canvas was ready, certified by Sofia Karlovna and placed in the Tretyakov Gallery.
Unfortunately, few people now remember the significant contribution of Vyatka nature to the painting “Morning in a Pine Forest”. But in vain. To this day, the bear in these parts is powerful and purebred. It is a well-known fact that the Gromyk bear from the Zonikha animal farm posed for the emblem of the 1980 Olympics.
