ХУДОЖНИК, КОТОРЫЙ ПОТЕРЯЛ ВСЮ СЕМЬЮ И УМЕР У МОЛЬБЕРТА

In the lower right corner of Russia's most famous painting were two signatures. One was erased. Who did it and why—you'll find out in this film. Ivan Shishkin is a great Russian artist, known to us from postcards and candy wrappers. But behind the famous pine trees and bears lurked a fate we weren't told about in school. In three years, he buried his wife, two young sons, and his father. He took to drink. He nearly broke down. And then he got up and painted "Rye." The very same one, with the road leading into a golden field. This film tells the whole truth: about the losses he endured. About the friend whose name was erased from the painting. About how "Clubfoot Teddy Bear" candies eclipsed the great artist. And about the last morning when he entered his studio and never left. This is the story of a man who spent his entire life painting light—because he lived in darkness. 🕯 Subscribe to the channel—there are many more stories worth hearing ahead. #Shishkin #RussianPainting #TretyakovGallery #HistoryOfArt #TheFateOfAnArtist
