The artist Vladimir Shcherbakov painted a realistic landscape “It Got Cold” in 1998. In the foreground, he depicted a water surface, it could be a river or a lake. The shores are marked with strokes of dark paint. The reflection of the setting sun is visible on the water, although the sky is covered with dark clouds. The color scheme of the work is based mainly on cold tones, which convey the shades of waves and clouds. Against their background, the red-orange glare of the sun becomes a bright and warm color spot.
The genre of landscape, to which this painting belongs, appeared in Russia in the 18th century. Semyon Shchedrin is considered to be its founder. Later, Fyodor Matveev, Fyodor Alexeyev, Andrey Martynov and other artists of that time began to create similar paintings. Many of them studied landscape art in Western Europe.
Landscape painting flourished in the 19th century. Famous artists worked in this genre, such as Ivan Aivazovsky, Vasily Polenov, Valentin Serov, Alexey Savrasov.
After the revolution, landscapes in the style of symbolism and avant-gardism appeared in Russian art. They were created by Kazimir Malevich, Natalia Goncharova, and Pavel Kuznetsov. Later, these movements were replaced by socialist realism, and the Khrushchev Thaw set a trend for imitations of French Impressionists.
