Lukian Popov
A Courtyard in Winter
#2
The realist painter Lukian Popov first joined the exhibitions by the Itinerants (Peredvizhniki) art group in 1900, whilst still a student at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg. And in 1903 he became the group’s full member. 
 
Known as a genre painter and a portraitist, Popov also did landscapes, many of which became the basis for his future genre canvases. The artist did A Courtyard in Winter, a succinct and generalized study, in the 1900s.

Light diagonals in it dictated the compositional movement, and a variety of shades of light tones make the snow look expressive and sculptured.

The study could have become the basis for the 1909 Winter where the artist added a peasant with horses to the landscape, creating an obvious compositional centre of the image.

There are other known winter studies by Popov. In his Steppe in Winter, late 19th – early 20th century, the canvas is dominated by the white colour applied in wide brushstrokes, with just a tiny piece of cold blue breaking out through it. Together with a landscape Winter Hillock, this study must have served the landscape background for the 1900-1902 psychological canvas Resettlers in Winter. The latter depicts peasants forced to move homes in the cold season.

Local to the Orenburg region, Popov came from a peasant family. He did a lot of rural landscapes accentuating the plain charm of the village with scenes and details. In the Moonlit Night the moonlight outlines the roofs of the houses; in his A Courtyard at Autumn the artist puts the emphasis on the crossing path, loose with all the water and thawing snow in the courtyard, and in Field Stack he depicts the process of haymaking.

The Imperial Academy of Arts awarded Popov money for foreign study tours three times: he studied the art of the old masters in the museums of Berlin, Dresden, Munich and Paris, and borrowed from their technique. However, he loved Russia so intensely that he asked to replace the third foreign trip with a domestic one, and during his trips along the Volga River and visits to Bashkiria, Mordovia, Chuvash region and the Arkhangelsk and Saratov provinces he familiarized himself with the local nature and way of life.
