People’s Artist of the USSR and a member of the Kukryniksy artistic group Porfiry Krylov dedicated this painting to the street in Tula where he was born and raised. In “The Three of Us”, the book of memoirs of the Kukryniksy, he wrote:

Our house stood at the corner of Venyovskaya and Zamochnaya Street. The number of the house and the name of its owner — Nikita Zakharovich Krylov — was inscribed on a metal plate under the roof. The three small windows on the facade looked at the Cartridge Plant a fifteen minute walk away. My father was a turner at this factory. There were six kids in our family — each smaller than the next. We all slept on the floor, one beside the other. As kids, we spent whole days near a forest behind the Cartridge factory. More than once we were caught in a thunderstorm in the forest, we were soaked to the bone, but everything somehow ended safely.

Porfiry was born on August 22, 1902 and was the eldest child in the family. The artist spent his childhood and youth on this street: here he used to run to school with the boys, chase pigeons. This was the place where he first picked up brushes and paints. In 1919, he got his first job working at a warehouse of the Cartridge Plant. In 1921, having received a permit from the Tula Union of Metalworkers, Porfiry Krylov left Tula for Moscow to enter the department of Painting at Vkhutemas — Higher Art and Technical Workshops.

Having become a famous artist, Porfiry Krylov settled in Moscow, on Chkalov Street. The test pilot Valery Chkalov, in whose honor the old Zemlyanoy Val Street was renamed, previously lived in the same house. The apartments and workshops of the Kukryniksy were also located in this house.

Krylov always remembered his hometown, often visited Tula, where he hosted exhibitions and held creative meetings. He dedicated many landscapes to the Tula Oblast and the valley of the Oka River. Krylov donated a number of his works to his hometown, as well as paintings by famous masters from his private collection. Each time the artist came to Tula he tried to check on his childhood home.

The artist’s warmest childhood memories were reflected in this simple and touching landscape with old wooden houses pressed closely together, tall trees along the road, green front gardens and chickens busily walking by the sun-warmed fence.
