Vasily Andreyevich Tropinin
 

Dear forum users, I propose to discuss the genre sketch V. Tropinin, oil on canvas, size 65 x 56. Signed in the upper left corner (highlighted) - In Tropinin 1825.

What is the signature wrong. Look how he wrote the letter P.

In "The old farmer" 1825 g, in signing the letter "P" without a crossbar, as you showed.

No need to analyze the signature, so it is clear that this is not Tropinin.

Tiutchev, whose sketches and it?

Bought at Cherkizovsky market?

Bought at Cherkizovsky market?

And they work too?

  These, indeed, real! Tropininskie! Good picture! Sale? :)

Throughout the creative Tropinin with greater or lesser interest turned to genre subjects, sketching scenes from the life of the streets, urban artisans and inhabitants. By mid-1830 were zadumanny but unrealized songs, which can be judged on the basis of pictorial sketches - "Buy apple peddler in" 1830, "Family Portrait" 1810, etc., namely those that exhibited above. By 1820, Mr. researchers attribute the only completed work Tropinina with developed genre - "The seller of firewood", written by lithography AOOrlovsky.

On the skill of the artist can be judged by the way written by hand. This applies to artists who have received just academic education. Compare and find out for yourself.

We all used to seeing the work of Vasily only the finishing side, forgetting about his sketches.

  Serge, I'm talking about the figure. On your picture drawing weak. Yes, and let! Sketches I did not forget and the schedule too much! But what ...

Yes, studies are often more inspired than it would seem their completed work.
Etude is an emotional impulse, the desire to remember and display the hidden ...
And this example mnogo.Primer, sketches Ivanov in Moscow City ...
And often, it seemed to complete the work is clearly losing etyudnym.

Fully agree with you and as an example:

Like any artist has a strong finished work, and weak. This applies to the exercise.

A little more about me sketch exhibited. In the painting from a very thick layer of already darkened by the time of varnish, may cover several times, which distorts the beautiful paint layer. About Tropinin. He studied with the famous portraitist S. Shchukin. Workshop Shchukin had an undoubted influence on the genre began in the works Tropinin. In class portrait in 1810 Shchukin asked students many of the themes "Russian Peasant Wedding", "Vorozhba on maps, etc. Incidentally have Tropinina there is a picturesque sketch "Fortune Teller", which unfortunately I did not find.
