History painting

Among the most difficult works especially notable is the painting Shishkin “Ship grove” — the last, almost dying artist canvas. Many critics and art historians call it the ‘comb’ “Pine”, not only because of the pine in the picture direct, but more due to the fact that in his last painting Shishkin was a good use of 40 years experience painter and connoisseur vegetation.

The picture of the “Ship Grove” Shishkin wrote in the year of his death, and it represented the final stage of his career. On a large canvas, the artist decided to portray your favorite pine forest — a story that each picture reveals new, playing with new colors and never ceases to amaze.

On canvas depicts a grove near Elabuga — the native place of the artist. In a note by the author to the picture stated that “Saint Athanasius ship grove near Elabuga”. This forest was familiar Shishkin from childhood, and it seems symbolic that the author portrayed in his last picture.

The Simple plot allows the viewer to delve into the perfect combination of colors and the overall atmosphere of the summer forest, not embarrassed with the wind and rain. Continuous forty-year experience of studying of Russian nature expressed itself in every tree and every blade of grass shown in the picture.

Palette painting

A Forest bathed in sunlight and surrounded by the variety of colors and shades, uncharacteristic for earlier Shishkin. The palette of the paintings, on closer examination, impressed the impressionist painters with their richness and diversity. However, Shishkin with his characteristic sense of proportion does not allow the palette to disturb the natural beauty of the landscape, but rather uses color to emphasize it.

The blue sky mixed on canvas with pinkish hues of sunset, a dark forest green and purple-black strokes deep shadows. Blue or sometimes openly in blue on the trunks of the tall pines talking about mossy ancient giants, and parched the verdure of the glade, reminiscent of the aesthetic preferences of the artist — Shishkin always prefer low-key, almost dull the beauty of the summer forest of North-West Russia.
