Winter evening
An incredible work of art is the painting by A.N. Krymov "Winter Evening". Winter is, in general, a magical time of year, and in this picture the artist depicted all the beauty and stateliness of winter in the brightest colors. Looking at her, various mixed feelings appear: peace, joy, warmth and a little anxiety. And the following words appear in my head: comfort, hearth, home, tranquility. All this is because the artist accurately conveyed not only objects, but also his feelings.
In the foreground, the artist depicted a frozen river. At its sources, sparrows sit and warm themselves against each other, this indicates that there is frost, but it is not severe. That is why there is no one on the river - the ice is thin and you can fall through. There are people standing not far from her, and, apparently, they are admiring the excellent landscape, and the mother also explains to her naughty baby that it is forbidden to walk along the river - it is dangerous.
The painting is called “Winter Evening”, but despite this, it is very light. Perhaps it seemed light this evening due to the amount of snow, and perhaps it was not quite late. But this is undoubtedly evening; on the left side you can see a couple of horses pulling a cart. They are returning from the forest and, most likely, are carrying firewood to heat the stove and make the house warm and cozy. And also in one of the houses, the owners have already lit a light, perhaps it is a candle, or maybe a kerosene lamp.
By the way, the small houses depicted indicate that this is a small village adjacent to the forest. And from the thicket of trees peeks out the dome of the church, where services are held on cold Sunday evenings. There is a lot of snow in the picture and it looks so soft and weightless that it involuntarily resembles a feather bed on an old grandmother’s bed. And the colors with which the artist depicted the snow indicate that the weather that evening was good: quiet, snowy and frosty. Incredibly, looking at the sky, which is depicted in emerald green color, it seems that snow is about to fall, and you need to quickly return to a warm house.
Description of the picture
The painting “Winter Evening” was created by the popular Russian landscape artist N.P. Krymov. Throwing your gaze at the canvas, you understand how the artist was charmed by the modest nature of his native land. He definitely likes the snow, the persistent frost, the majestic importance of winter. When reading the title of the painting, one imagines twilight, but in fact, when you look at this painting, you see exactly the opposite. The picture is very radiant, apparently this is the beginning of a winter evening.
Apparently for this reason, the bright green sky with bluish tints is located throughout most of the picture. But in the front of most of the picture there is snow. Not a single winter can go without snow; it’s like a blanket covering the ground, hiding last year’s greenery and small shrubs underneath.
The houses stand as if dressed in white snow caps. These houses are certainly warm and comfortable. Behind the houses you can see large luxurious treetops, between which you can see the large belfry of the church.
In the middle of the picture you can see paths trodden by people. People are walking along one of these paths. These are most likely the residents of those houses that are standing under white hats. Also in the picture you can see children for whom winter is joy.
If you look closely at the picture, you can see two horse-drawn carts with hay. The day is coming to an end and people are rushing to finish their work before it gets dark.
The snow does not shimmer in the sun's rays, since the sun is no longer averse to hiding behind the horizon. In those places where the shadow falls it is dark blue, and in those places where it is illuminated by the sun it is light. This large number of shades in the picture makes you feel that cold frosty air of calm and tranquility. But in reality, when you look at the picture, it becomes not cold and comfortable. The artist achieved this result thanks to the color scheme. It is she who conveys all the sensuality and sincerity of the picture.

Winter is my favorite time of year, especially when the whole street is covered with a white blanket of snow. Since ancient times, Russian winter was famous for its abundance of snow and severe frosts. This kind of winter was depicted by the artist Nikolai Krymov in his painting “Winter Evening”.
This painting depicts the outskirts of a small village, which is simply buried in snow. Snow occupies almost the entire part of the picture; it is depicted everywhere: on the ground, on the roofs of houses, and even small bushes are not visible because of the snow. In the foreground of the picture, the author depicted a frozen river. It is dark blue, clean and transparent. You can see bushes growing near the shore and in shallow water. Most likely, while painting the picture, the artist was somewhere on a hill, a large overview opened up in front of him, and he was able to see and capture a lot.
This winter evening is especially beautiful at sunset. When the last rays of the sun shine so much that even the color of the snow changes. In the shade it looks bluish, and in the sun its pinkish tints are visible. The light of the rays allows us to see the trodden paths to the houses. It is possible to even see their depth, which indicates that winter has come a long time ago, and the snow has been falling for so long that snowdrifts have already appeared.
In the central part of the picture, along one of these snow-covered paths, the artist depicted people hurrying to their homes. The figures of people are not depicted in the foreground and are very small, and it is very difficult to see them, and even in winter clothes. But it is clear that these are two adults and a child. They rush home to warm up from their evening walk. And a little to the left of them, horses are racing, loaded with sleighs, which are loaded with a large pile of hay, and they are driven by a cabman. There is a barn next to one house, and it is there that the driver sends his horses.
The background of the picture is decorated with a small forest. The trees are large and tall, and there are small ones, perhaps oak and poplar. On the left, among the trees, the top of the local church peeks out. When painting the sky, the artist did not spare green and yellow paint, so he got the sky in exactly these shades.
You can feel the peace and tranquility that is depicted in the picture. Krymov perfectly depicted the real Russian winter. I really like this picture

It’s good to sit in the kitchen with warm tea and look at the winter evening and all its beauty. Adults are walking along that road from work, and there children are returning from a walk with their mother. Sometimes in the summer there is a desire to return to the cold season, and when I felt it, I decided to go look at winter photographs and paintings, where I came across “Winter Evening” by Krymov.
Looking at this picture, I first of all feel peace and silence. Your soul becomes light and warm, at such moments you begin to immerse yourself in childhood and remember all the stories that warm your soul: how your mother took you down the hill on a sled and how you broke your nose while skating for the first time.
In the foreground of Krymov’s painting, we first see snow. He looks fluffy and light, he still doesn’t know that very soon, when the first rays of light appear, he will melt, and we will meet him only next year. Various bristles of bushes are visible, however, they are not entirely green: rather, a swamp, and even dirty color. We see black spots, and if you look closely, you can distinguish four birds in them.
In the snow we see numerous shadows, and not only from bushes, but also from people. Closer to the viewer, four human outlines can be seen and the first thing that catches the eye is the three people standing together. We can assume that this is a married couple with a child. The husband and wife are dressed in warm, but dark fur coats, and the child can be seen wearing a pink jacket. There is another person at a distance from them. It is not clear why he is separate from them? It’s good that the artist didn’t tell this secret, because the viewer can figure it out for himself. However, one main feature can be distinguished; they all look into the distance. A child may be looking at birds, and adults may be looking at the sky, thinking about deep things, for example, the meaning of life.
In the background we can see, first of all, the wooden houses of peasants. They are buried in snow, and huge snow-white snowdrifts lie on the roofs. Here the question also arises: whose houses are these? Those people who look into the distance? Or maybe those who ride with horses and are carrying something? There is enough light in the windows, so it can be assumed that none of the options proposed are suitable, and the houses are the property of completely different people. Also, in addition to houses, we can see tall, mighty tree crowns that rise above the houses. You can notice that their color is also not green, it is somehow dirty, swampy. There is a church at a distance, we can see this from the dome that looks out from the forest. And the most important thing in this picture is the sky. It is majestic and powerful, but at the same time light, and even to some extent bright. How much paint the artist used on it, here we can clearly see white mixed with green, and even blue is visible somewhere.
I really liked this picture, I will look at it in the sad moments of my life and think about the bright things.
Option No. 2
Nikolai Petrovich Krymov is a wonderful domestic artist who gave our country many paintings filled with Russian nature, its overall beauty, the greenery of the trees, the comfort of dilapidated villages and small human figures - peasants. Like any other landscape painter, Krymov had a particularly sensitive and romantic soul, which poured out onto the canvas, forming such beautiful paintings on it.
My favorite painting by this artist is “Winter Evening”. It depicts village life in its most ordinary manifestation. Most of the canvas is covered with white-gray-blue paint - this is snow. Despite the fact that winter is in full swing, evergreen trees continue to grow and stand firm in the cold. To the right, on the branches and in the snow, birds that have not flown south are huddling and huddling together. They feel good and warm only because they are together. So are the peasants who stand nearby and are always ready to help each other. At the time of this painting, several people came out onto the street. Most likely, they want to look at the setting sun. Other people prepare hay, they carry it on horses just to feed their livestock.
People's houses are completely ordinary. It would seem that there is nothing remarkable about them, but for some reason everyone who comes to the village and sees them feels warm in their soul. Perhaps because they remind people of their childhood: not long ago they stood on the porch of such an awkward house and ate strawberries, washing it down with milk. Or maybe visitors simply admire the aesthetics of an old wooden house, who knows... One can only guess about this. But the peasants themselves love their homes primarily for the warmth and comfort they give. They have become close to them and will no longer be able to live in the city; they will feel uncomfortable and cramped there, despite the significant advantage in the area of city houses over village ones.
On the left, behind the trees, you can see a church. This is another sign of the unity of the Russian people. It is religion, a common faith, a common God and holidays that help peasants live and find the strength to develop their place of residence.
The sky over the village is light green. Night is approaching, as can be seen from the title of the painting. Evening is the time when everything stops, but does not die. Time to stop working and talk about life. What is so beautiful about village people is their wisdom.
From the picture you can feel the Russian character, Russian resistance to frost and the same Russian unity, love for the Motherland and faith in the best. I also like this picture because it is full of fresh air. And the sky, and the snow, and people looking at the setting sun, and majestic trees - everything shows that freedom is in the air. People living in this village, of course, feel it. Freedom is exactly what every person always strives for. Many are looking for freedom somewhere in politics, forgetting about such simple things as nature and unity with the people, with their country. A country is not a state. The country is villages, people, horses, and, of course, such winter evenings.
Essay description based on the painting Winter Evening by Krymov
Silence. The barely perceptible creaking of snow. Everything is white. Somewhere in the distance horses are running, carrying haystacks. When I look at the picture, I want to drop everything I’m doing, sit on a bench, close my eyes and think about something pleasant.
It seems that nature has frozen and fallen asleep. The huge crowns of the trees do not move. They put on their dark clothes and froze in anticipation of spring. People talk very quietly, afraid to wake up all living things. White snowdrifts look like a fluffy terry blanket that covers the ground and houses. The lights are already on in the huts. The hostess is probably already preparing dinner and getting ready to light the stove.
Looking at the picture, I remember my native village. When I was little, I loved to ride slides, run through snowdrifts and play snowballs with the guys. In the evening, when I came home, I climbed onto the stove and warmed myself, wrapped in a blanket. It seems to me that when I look at this picture, I return to my childhood - everything seems so familiar to me.
N. Krymov knows how to convey not only the beauty of winter nature, but also its feelings, sounds, sensations. The picture exudes winter cold, familiar warmth and memories. Thin paths between the snowdrifts indicate that winter is already raging with might and main, but people are not afraid of it and do not want to sit at home.
Winter is a wonderful time of year. The artist was able to depict all its beauty using only two colors - white and blue. Blue evening sky, frozen river, dark blue shadows that show the viewer that the sun is already setting. These colors convey cold and cold. N. Krymov depicted all living things in black – horses, birds, people. They are all waiting for the new spring colors, but for now they are in a peaceful state and are preparing to take off these dark clothes.
The sky is already slowly getting darker, which means that soon people will go home. At home, a hot dinner, a warm stove and long conversations await them at a large wooden table.
Description of the painting for 6th grade
Looking at this picture, it is immediately clear that the artist was in a great mood and he tried in every way to convey those incredible feelings and emotions that took possession of him at that moment. Krymov, on a canvas of paper, managed to depict not only a wonderful winter evening, but even a frosty smell, which immediately sends a shiver through the body.
The picture conveys such peace that you want to instantly find yourself in this village and warm up in the first nearest house. Thanks to the artist for such an amazing and wonderful painting.
