Luis Miguel 1162 61587 Lima	RE: Alexei Kondratyevich Savrasov and the Lyrical Landscape Style 12/12/2013 2:02:20 AM
	The late 1860s were prolific years for Alexei Savrasov, and while during this period he produced works of rare beauty, his painting, as a general rule, turned increasingly somber. An anticipation of darker times to come? Alexei Savrasov - Swiss landscape with horses (oil on canvas, 1867) Alexei Savrasov - Waterfall (oil on canvas, 1868)

	As said in the previous post, while the works of these years are an epitome of beauty (particularly evidenced here by the painting at the bottom), they nevertheless manifest a somber propensity in Savrasov's production. Alexei Savrasov - At the well (oil on canvas, 1868) Alexei Savrasov - Autumn. Village near the stream (oil on canvas, c.1870)

	As commented previously, after Savrasov first daughter was stillborn in 1871 his paintings became increasingly pessimistic, featuring landscapes whose majestic beauty does not suffice to dispel the frigid impression they provoke. Alexei Savrasov - Winter Landscape. Rime (oil on canvas, c.1870)

	At the same time, however, the lyricism of a particularly beautiful scenery would work the magic and the resulting masterpiece would make forget any other consideration. Alexei Savrasov - View of Volga near Yurievts (oil on canvas, c.1871)
