MOTHER IMAGE IN SPIRITUAL ART

Our Lady of Vladimir

Maximilian Voloshin

Not on the throne - on Her hand,

Hugging your neck with your left hand, -

Eye to eye, cheek to cheek,

Relentlessly demands... I'm speechless -

There are no strength, no words on the tongue...

And she is worried and sad

Looking through the swell of the future...

There is no more dazzling miracle in the world

Revelations of eternal Beauty!

Simon Ushakov

Our Lady of Vladimir

Our Lady of Vladimir

• Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, one of the most revered icons of the Blessed Virgin Mary, according to legend, was painted by the Evangelist Luke.
• Celebration of May 21, June 23, August 26
• At the request of his pious contemporaries, the apostle depicted with a brush on the board the face of the Mother of God with the Child in her arms. When the icon painter brought this and two other icons to the Mother of God, She repeated the prophetic words spoken to the righteous Elizabeth: “From now on, all generations will bless Me,” adding, “...the grace of the One born from Me and Mine will be with the holy icons.”
• The Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God is painted, as legend says, on the board of the table at which Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and Joseph the Betrothed ate in the Savior’s youth. She is the only icon in Russia that has survived to this day in its original state. This is not a list, not a copy, but a genuine shrine that has passed through two millennia.
• On the right hand of the Mother of God there is a Baby sitting and clinging to her. The Infant God pressed his cheek closely to the face of the Most Holy Theotokos and hugged her neck. From under the covering on the head of the Mother of God (maphoria, or omophorion), His hand is visible. The left leg of the Savior is slightly bent and the foot (they say “heel”) is visible, by which the Vladimir Icon is recognized. The left hand at chest level slightly touches the robe of the Savior. The image of the Mother of God is almost devoid of movement: her head is tilted towards the Baby, with her hands she supports Jesus Christ. The heads of the Mother of God and the Child are facing each other.

This icon is a great shrine of Russia. Now it is kept in the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin.

• Look into your mother's eyes: what do you see?
• Sadness, longing. The mother feels what difficulties life has in store for her child.
• This icon is called the “mother’s song.” And why? The Mother of God is, first of all, a mother, a loving mother, which is why the image of the mother is revered as an eternal symbol.

MOTHER IMAGE IN SECULAR ART

The Russian poet A.A. Feta has a poem " A v e, Maria"("Hail Mary" - this is how the prayer begins.

A v e, Maria - the lamp is quiet,

Four verses are ready in the heart:

Pure maiden, grieving mother,

Your grace has penetrated my soul.

Queen of the sky, not in the brilliance of rays,

In a quiet dream, appear to her!

A v e, Maria - the lamp is quiet,

I whispered all four verses...

K.S. Petrov-Vodkin

1918 in Petrograd

• K. Petrov-Vodkin still had a hard time with people, and his family remained his outlet. After fifteen childless years of marriage, Mara, who had turned into a very plump, middle-aged woman, gave birth to his long-awaited daughter in the fall of 1922. When Kuzma Sergeevich first saw a tiny creature with dark blue shining eyes, tiny fingers and slightly protruding ears, he wrote to his mother in Khvalynsk: “I was half a man without experiencing this.” It was her father who had to nurse Lenochka, feed her, and take walks with her - Mara’s first birth at the age of 37 was not easy, and she almost did not get out of bed, demanding that they bring her “anemic”, that is, liquid tea. Portraits of his daughter occupy a special place; for many years Petrov-Vodkin painted her portraits and scenes in the nursery.
• In 1920, based on living impressions of the events of that time, Petrov-Vodkin painted a canvas in which the new reality seemed to be refracted in old images. This is "1918 in Petrograd." Its subject, like all of the artist’s paintings, is very simple: in the foreground, on the balcony, is a young mother with a baby. Behind her is a dark panorama of the revolutionary city, which introduces a powerful motif of anxiety. But the young worker with the sharpened, Madonna-like features of her pale face does not look back - she is completely full of consciousness of her motherhood and faith in her destiny. A wave of hope and peace emanates from her. "1918" was very popular with the audience of that time. The painting was called the “Petrograd Madonna,” and indeed it is one of the most charming creations of Petrov-Vodkin, which became a classic of Soviet art.

Lesson Analysis

Let's say goodbye with words

Russian poet S. Ostrovoy

May the sun forever applaud her,

So she will live for centuries -

The most beautiful of women -

A woman with a child in her arms!

Take care of mothers! Let their eyes always shine!

Slide 1

The theme of motherhood is eternal, artists from different countries see in it more and more new shades associated with the suffering, struggle of their people, as well as with the inexhaustible beauty of spiritual experiences that the birth of a child opens in a woman.

The image of a mother through the centuries

Slide 2

I sing of what is eternally new, And although I do not sing a hymn, But the word born in the soul Finds its music... This word is a call and a spell, In this word is the existing soul. This is the spark of the first consciousness, the baby’s first smile. This word will never deceive, the essence of life is hidden in it, the source of everything is in it, there is no end to it. Get up! I pronounce it: Mom. Rasul Gazmatov

Slide 3

Read the proverbs and explain their meaning. The Motherland is the mother of all mothers. The native land is the mother, and the foreign land is the stepmother. Mother’s anger is like spring snow: a lot of it falls, but it will soon melt. The bird is happy about spring, and the baby is happy about its mother. There is no dearer friend than my dear mother. In the sun it is light, in the presence of mother it is good. Mother's affection knows no end. The feeling of a father is higher than the mountains, the feeling of a mother is deeper than the ocean.

Slide 4

Sleep, my child, sleep! A sweet dream beckons to you, I took you as nannies The wind, the sun and the eagle The eagle flew home, The sun disappeared behind the water, The wind after three nights rushes to its mother. Vetra asks her mother: “Where did you disappear?!” Did you count the stars? Did you keep making waves?” “I didn’t drive the waves of the sea, I didn’t touch the golden stars, I protected the child, I rocked the lullaby!” A. Maykov “Lullaby”

Slide 6

The sacred face of the Mother of God The Mother of God in Rus' was perceived as the patroness and defender of the Motherland, the intercessor of people before God. In ancient Russian art, the image of the Mother of God was associated with the cult of Mother Earth; both had common principles of holiness and motherhood. “The first mother is the Most Holy Theotokos; the second mother is the damp earth,” says popular wisdom. In the minds of Russian people, the image of the Mother of God has always been surrounded by an aura of purity, holiness and sacrificial love.

Slide 7

In ancient times, they were treated with great respect as objects of worship. The expression “buy” in relation to them was considered blasphemy. They said “exchange for money.” It was impossible to destroy them due to their disrepair, but it was allowed to bury them in the ground or float them on water. If they died in a fire, they were not said to have burned out. In this case, they said “dropped out.” They were considered the best and very valuable gift. In the old days, they decorated not only temples, but also houses, forks in roads, and were often hung near wells and on gates at the entrance to the city. Currently, they are perceived not only as an object of worship, but also as a work of art. What are we talking about?

Icon is a Greek word, translated means “image”, “image”. By the way, in Rus' icons were called “images”

The Renaissance is one of the greatest eras, a turning point in the development of world art between the Middle Ages and modern times. This period of cultural development received its name in connection with the revival of ancient art. However, the artists of this time not only copied old models, but also put into them qualitatively new content. The real world and man were proclaimed the highest value: Man is the measure of all things. The role of the creative personality has especially increased. The Renaissance in Italy spans the 14th – 16th centuries. During this period, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Giorgione and Titian worked. Renaissance art brought a different understanding of beauty. The embodiment of the female ideal is the Madonna and Child Jesus Christ - a sublime symbol of motherhood and sacrificial love for people

Slide 15

This was a universal talent, revealed in all areas of knowledge of that era without exception. He owns treatises on mathematics and physics, he left behind many projects that no one had even thought about before him and which, for one reason or another, were not implemented. Among his inventions are a parachute, an aircraft similar to a modern airplane, and an armored vehicle (analogous to a modern tank). Ballistics and painting, mechanics and chemistry - this scientist, engineer, sculptor, architect and one of the best painters of the High Renaissance was interested in literally everything. From a technical point of view, his calculations always turned out to be impeccable. Who are we talking about? What do you know about the activities of a scientist?

An artist with the flexible body of a leopard, And in wisdom - a crafty snake. In all his creations there is a stream - the Spirit of belladonna, incense and spikenard. He was a winged man-lion.

Raphael is rightly considered a singer of female beauty. He said: “To paint a beauty, I need to see many beauties. But due to the lack... of beautiful women, I use some idea that comes to my mind. I don’t know whether it has any perfection, but I try very hard to achieve it...”

“...in the Mother of God walking across heaven, no movement is noticeable; but the more you look at it, the more it seems that it is getting closer. Nothing is expressed on her face, i.e. there is no understandable expression on it, having a specific name; but in it you find, in some mysterious combination, everything: tranquility, purity, greatness and even feeling, but a feeling that has already crossed the border of the earthly, therefore peaceful, constant, which can no longer disturb the clarity of the soul. There is no sparkle in her eyes (the brilliant gaze of a person is a sign of something extraordinary, accidental; but for her there is no longer an opportunity - everything has happened); but there is a kind of deep, wonderful darkness in them; there is some kind of gaze in them, not particularly directed anywhere, but as if seeing the immensity...” V. Zhukovsky

“...In order to more fully devote himself to painting from originals from nature...he went to his village, there he began to pay unconditional attention to nature...”

Recognized portrait painter, academician of painting A.G. Venetsianov, at 44 years old, feeling dissatisfaction and the need to work differently, unexpectedly leaves St. Petersburg and settles in the wilderness.

Slide 27

A.G. Venetsianov felt like a free artist, independent of the requirements and desires of customers. He began to paint simple Russian women - peasant women engaged in familiar and difficult work. Far from the noisy life, the artist developed his own idea of ​​the ideal of female beauty, which in many ways differed from generally accepted norms. Many paintings were created, where in the image of the majestic Slavic woman he emphasized the spirituality and bright individuality. The choice of such topics could be explained by the author’s desire to emphasize that it was the woman, despite all the hardships of life, who was and remained the keeper of the best traditions of peasant life.

Comparative Analysis Artists Age at the time of creation of the painting and personal characteristics Raphael Santi “Sistine Madonna” Turned to the image of the Mother at 23 years old. About twenty paintings were painted. Since childhood, he studied in artists' workshops and learned a lot from Perugino, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci. Painting is a craft, a talent that is given to him from above, but it is just a craft - a means of earning money. The main theme in Raphael’s work for many years was the images of the Virgin Mary. Mary walks on the clouds carrying her child. The embodiment of that ideal of beauty and goodness, separating everyday life from inspired dreams. Leonardo da Vinci “Benois Madonna” First work on the image of the Madonna at the age of 26-28. He studied the humanities and technical sciences, which later gave him an amazing symbiosis of beauty and precision in painting. But he treated painting itself more as one of the elements of teaching human anatomy and expanding his scientific knowledge than as a way of expressing his worldview. Reflected the inner world, strived for psychological characteristics. Da Vinci places the Madonna and Child in a dimly lit room, where the only source of light is a double window located in the back. Its greenish light cannot dispel the twilight, but at the same time is sufficient to highlight the figure of the Madonna and the young Christ

Slide 19

Michelangelo Buonarroti's Pieta (Lamentation of Christ) Pieta was written when he was 24 years old. The main features of Michelangelo's creativity are monumentality, plastic power and dramatic images, reverence for human beauty. He managed to fully preserve and express in his works his love for man and faith in his greatness and beauty. Jean Baptiste Simeon Chardin “Prayer before dinner” The painting was created at the age of 34. Scenes of everyday life of people who belonged to the third estate. The main thing in the paintings is their spirituality, the poeticization of everyday life, the balance of construction, creating an image of harmonious existence. Numerous shades of gray and brown tones. In the picture, three characters - a mother and two little girls - are connected by a simple everyday situation; the viewer easily guesses many shades in the calm benevolence of the mother, the immediate Emotions of the children Karl Bryullov “Portrait of Yu.P. Samoilova leaving the ball with her adopted daughter Amazilia Paccini” Written at the age of 40. In female images he embodied the romantic ideals of art. Decorative showiness, the boldness of a bright, colorful spectrum composed of primary colors, where a proud beauty throws off the mask from her face, defines pathos. Alexey Gavrilovich Venetsianov “At the harvest. In the Summer” Consciously chooses the everyday genre as the basis of his creativity. Poeticization of Russian national peasant life. In the center of the picture there is a woman reaper with a child in her arms. Then, when the sun burns mercilessly, the sheaves stand in rows, the hills turn green, the woman sits down to rest on a high platform, she tenderly hugs the baby, forgetting about fatigue.

Vasily Grigorievich Perov “Farewell to the Dead Man” Written at the age of 31. "Singer of Sorrows" An unvarnished depiction of the life of ordinary people. This is not only a sad story about the fate of an unfortunate family, but in it one can hear the mournful voice of the entire multimillion-dollar dispossessed peasant Russia. Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoy “Inconsolable Grief” Depicted at 47 years old. Takes what naturally flows from the depicted personality and psychological state. In the appearance of the mother, depicted in deep mourning, one can read silent despair, dull pain - and at the same time, enormous inner strength, readiness to withstand grief, peace and fate. Pierre Auguste Renoir "Madame Charpentier with her children" Written at the age of 37. Art appears before us in its most festive form, filled with light, full of health and thirst for life. Attracts the lively sparkle of the eyes, the gentle reflections of the surrounding colorful tones on the skin. The children are in light girlish outfits, and the hostess is in a fashionable dress. Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin “Mother” The picture was painted at the age of 35. He knew how to combine in his works thinking in “planetary” categories and loyalty to the eternal principles and highest values ​​of spiritual culture and national traditions. The painting is distinguished by its particular clarity and transparency of colors, which are dominated by flaming red and various shades of ultramarine blue.

Valentin Serov “N.Ya.Derviz with a child” Painted the picture at the age of 23. Serov's early work was formed under the influence of the realistic art of Repin and the strict plastic system of Chistyakov. Features of his portraits: psychologically sharpened characteristics of a person. The portrait is monochrome and restrained in color with the psychological expressiveness of the model - modest, reserved. Almost just sketched dresses and a child in her arms. Alexander Alexandrovich Deineka “Mother” Writing at 33 years old. Deinekov’s image of a mother with a child in her arms is destined to become a classic. In the thirties, the color in the artist’s works brightened and became softer, portraits and landscapes were filled with both realism and romanticism, and many female images appeared. The composition is surprisingly simple: against a smooth dark background, a close-up image of a woman with a sleeping child in her arms is depicted. The color of the canvas is based on a combination of warm and deep earthy colors. The painting resembles a fresco in its restraint and nobility of texture. Sergei Vasilievich Gerasimov “Mother of the Partisan” Written at the age of 45. The painting absorbed the artist’s anger and pain, his unshakable faith in the perseverance and courage of a woman. Creativity is an emotionally vibrant decision of the author. The image of a patriotic woman, courageous, who was able to drown out her personal maternal grief for the sake of love for people.

Salvador Dali "Madonna of Port Lligat" Dali is freed from his dreams of resurrecting his dead mother: now she is alive in the form of Gala (wife). The picture helps to understand on a subconscious level the incestuous attraction to his mother, who was for him the center of his entire life, and overcoming them. Eugene Carrier “Motherhood” Family, home, mother and child – these are the most frequently recurring motifs in the artist’s art. The mood of deep silence and sincerity that permeates the image of motherhood. The figures of mother and child are shrouded in a yellowish-brown haze, blurring the contours, dissolving the form. Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel “The Virgin and Child” Known as the author of paintings, decorative panels, frescoes and book illustrations. A feminine-tender and at the same time sad image of a mother anticipating the tragic fate of her son. The solemn rhythm of the folds of clothing, strict lines, monochrome simplicity of color relationships, and the utmost laconicism of the composition help to express the depth and grandeur of grief. Victor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov “Our Lady” Painting of the Vladimir Cathedral in Kyiv, dedicated to the 900th anniversary of the baptism of Rus'. He was given the opportunity to embody the image of the Mother of God in a new way, without repeating anyone, “with warmth, sincerity and courage.” He painted the Mother of God walking on the clouds with the Child in the apse of the altar.

Slide 23

As we can see from the comparison, artists turned to the theme of “Motherhood” at different periods of their lives, but, basically, they were at a mature age, when the theme became one of the main ones for them. They really revealed the distinctive properties of the individual styles of the artists, which I discussed in the analysis of the paintings. Theophan the Greek “Don Icon of the Mother of God” Creativity is considered a phenomenon of Russian culture. The nature of the paintings was tragic, as they expressed the worldview of the decline of the Byzantine Empire and were imbued with apocalyptic forebodings of the imminent death of the Holy Orthodox Kingdom. The artist achieves expressions of gentle humanity through melodious color with intense strokes of precious lapis lazuli and through the skillful use of smooth, rounded lines in which there is nothing hard or swift.

Comparison of various paintings with Raphael Santi “Sistine Madonna” “Sistine Madonna” by Raphael Santi The artist depicted Mary in full growth with the infant Christ in her arms. The Madonna descends from heaven to people, accompanied by St. Barbarians. Pope Sixtus II, as it were, entrusts humanity to the intercessor. Below, right next to the frame, two little angels look at the miraculous phenomenon. Clouds swirl behind the figure of the Madonna and the alluring distance shines. 1. Form: – Harmony of volumes and space – The composition of the work represents the descending Mother of God with her son in her arms 2. Content – ​​The image of eternal femininity and motherhood – The bright sadness of the mother, who knows the fate of her son, is expressed in a harmoniously majestic and piercingly acute way – The curtain is parted before the appearance of a miracle . Six-fingered St. Peter, angels. 3. Style, direction – Renaissance, where a person is always the center of the composition; It is he who is the main character of the dramatic narrative, an active exponent of the content contained in the picture. Through the light of their faces, a person looking at the picture comprehends the divine principle in the world. Because to the sublime you always need to make a path that runs through obstacles. Vasnetsov “The Mother of God” Like the “Sistine Madonna”, the Mother of God, holding a baby in her arms, walks towards the viewer. But the interpretation of the image of Mary differs significantly from Raphael’s. If the “Sistine Madonna” embodies the triumph and greatness of spiritual achievement, then Vasnetsov’s “Our Lady” is, first of all, tragic. Maria's huge eyes are filled with inexpressible sorrow. “With spiritual eyes,” as they said in the old days, she sees the difficult path that her son has to go through. She also mourns for people - for everyone who must bear the cross of a difficult earthly life. The Mother of God holds the child with both hands. His gaze is not childishly insightful and wise. The baby’s gesture is symbolic: with his right hand he seems to bless us living on earth, and with his left he points upward, where our thoughts should be directed. The artist’s deeply personal emotional experiences allowed him, with extraordinary simplicity and humanity, to embody in the image of the Mother of God the beauty of femininity, the strength of maternal feeling and soulful spirituality.

Raphael in The Sistine Madonna, painted in 1515 for the church of the monastery of Sixtus in Piacenza and depicting the appearance of Our Lady to the Holy Father Sixtus and Saint Barbara, places the figures in deep space. Here before us is as if a wonderful vision suddenly appeared in the heavens from behind a curtain pulled back by someone. Surrounded by a golden glow, solemn and majestic, Mary walks through the clouds, holding a baby in front of her. The strictly balanced composition, the clarity of the silhouette and the monumentality of the forms give the “Sistine Madonna” special grandeur. But even in this picture we do not see an exact adherence to the laws of perspective. "In his desire to give an idea of ​​​​what objects are, regardless of where they are viewed from, Raphael deviates from the perspective rule of a single vanishing point. The angels are located at the level of the viewer's eyes. Leonardo da Vinci's Benois Madonna Da Vinci places the Madonna and Child in a semi-dark room, where the only source of light is a double window located in the depths. Its greenish light cannot dispel the darkness, but at the same time is sufficient to highlight the figure of the Madonna and the young Christ. The main “work” is done by the light pouring from the top left . Thanks to him, the master manages to enliven the picture with the play of chiaroscuro and sculpt the volume of two figures. The young mother with a joyful smile hands the baby a flower and watches how the serious baby carefully examines it. An affectionate and lively girl-mother and a wise child embodies the joy of being and the beauty of knowledge. Mother and the baby are turned towards the viewer, the Madonna seems to be demonstrating the child and posing herself. The Mother of God is so passionate about playing with her baby that, in combination with her smile, even laughter caused by admiration from contemplating her son, she becomes like an ordinary young girl playing with her child .

But since the faces of those present are also at the level of his eyes, he seems to rise upward with them. Finally, raising his eyes to the Madonna, the viewer notices that she is not visible from below, as is usually the case in baroque images - her face is at the level of his eyes. Thanks to the rejection of a single vanishing point, the objects presented in Raphael's painting do not look as they can be seen from a certain point of view, but as, according to the artist, they are in themselves." "The Sistine Madonna", then in the arrangement of the figures of this painting Some authors noted pyramidality, others - something circular. Both definitions are not mutually exclusive. Pyramidality makes the composition stable and emphasizes the dominance of the Madonna over those ahead. However, in my opinion, the shape of the circle here dominates the pyramid. Thanks to the correspondence of the top and bottom, right and left part of the picture, its composition acquires completeness and approaches the circle. The direction of Pope Sixtus towards the face of the Madonna, then movement along the edge of her veil to Barbara, from her following her gaze to the babies and, finally, from them upward again - this chain of movements helps our the eye can catch the circular rhythm that permeates the picture.Theophanes the Greek “Our Lady of the Don” The system of depicting figures in “Our Lady of the Don” is represented by the so-called “reverse” perspective, widespread in Byzantine art. This is a conventional system for constructing space. It breaks up in the icon into a number of independent zones, the image is spread out on a plane, and the figures are presented as visible from several points of view and increasing as they move away from the foreground. However, such a construction of the composition in this case only gives the icon expressiveness. By basing the entire composition on a geometric rather than a stereometric figure, Theophanes the Greek thereby subordinated the composition to the plane of the icon board. The spatial zone is minimal in its depth, and its depth is in strict accordance with the height and width of the icon board. From this correspondence of three dimensions is born that lawful harmony that gives the icon such a perfect work of art. If the figures were more voluminous and the space deeper, then the harmony would be immediately disrupted. It is precisely because the author interprets his figures in silhouette and makes line and color spot the main means of artistic expression that he manages to preserve that planar rhythm that has always attracted Russian icon painters and thanks to which his composition has such amazing lightness. In the composition of “Our Lady of the Don” pyramidality clearly prevails. The pyramid is formed by the outlines of a baby. Its silhouette corresponds to the amophorion of the Mother of God, forming exactly the same pyramid. And finally, the general image of the Madonna, bowing her head towards her son, and the child also resemble a pyramid.

Artistic techniques for highlighting the images of mother and child Artists Mother Child Raphael Santi “Madonna in Greenery” The face of a young golden-haired mother Mary looking with tenderness at the healthy babies - Jesus and John, who are playing at her knees. The beauty of Maria's ideal type stands out due to the smoothness of the parabolic contours of her figure. The faces of the children, here and there the pyramidal formation of the group, the writing technique is similar. Children play with the expression of angels. Jean Baptiste Simeon Chardin "The Laundress" A young woman washes, white flakes of foam hanging from a wooden tub. Her little son is playing near her. She smiles, although her life is not simple, but the main thing is a boy - a son whom she cannot be happy about. Conveniently perched on a small chair, the little son is diligently engaged in a “serious” task - blowing soap bubbles. One of them is growing, moving, an amazing rainbow world is trembling and shimmering on its damp walls. The baby’s clothes are not big enough, his shoes are worn out, his sleeve is torn, but he is still happy.

Alexey Gavrilovich Venetsianov “At the harvest. In the summer” In the center of the picture there is a woman reaper with a child in her arms, she tenderly hugs the baby, forgetting about fatigue. We can see the image of the mother in this picture in the example of a peasant woman feeding a child clinging to her. The sun is behind the peasant woman's back, and thanks to this, her face and most of her figure are shaded, and this makes it possible to generalize the shapes and reveal clean and smooth lines in her silhouette. The mother almost completely covers the baby, only his head can be seen. He feeds, clinging to his mother's chest. Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoy “Inconsolable Grief” The woman straightened up, her posture was collected, she was no longer crying. In the expression of her face there is a meaningfulness and feeling of irreparable grief, not external, but deeply internal and personal. In the appearance of the mother, depicted in deep mourning, one can read silent despair, dull pain. The child died, leaving his beloved mother.

Eugene Carrier "Motherhood" A mother tenderly and lovingly hugs her child. The figures of mother and child are shrouded in a yellowish-brown haze, blurring the contours and dissolving the forms. The figures of mother and child are united by smoothly intersecting lines, as if they are one whole. The baby presses its cheek to its mother's cheek. Kuzma Perov-Vodkin “Mother” The painting depicts the figure of a nursing mother, inside of whom is stored a precious crystal of life - a child. Blue and red are the colors of the Mother of God, her divine and earthly nature. A young mother, clutching her baby, with her general appearance and silhouette resembles a Madonna, who radiates family happiness, joy and the holiness of maternal love. The white color of the baby's shirt is the color of holiness and purity, which equates the newborn with the divine child. The baby feeds in the tender arms of its mother.

Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel “The Mother of God and Child” The Mother of God with her eyes wide open, full of tears, seemed petrified in suffering over her son’s tomb. The solemn rhythm of the folds of clothing, strict lines, monochrome simplicity of color relationships, and the utmost laconicism of the composition help to express the depth and grandeur of grief. A feminine-tender and at the same time sad image of a mother anticipating the tragic fate of her son. The child cuddles up to his mother. There is fear in his eyes, but he tries to hide in the love and clothes of his mother, leaving hope. Theophanes the Greek “Don Icon of the Mother of God” With her right hand, the Virgin Mary supports the infant Christ. There is sadness in her eyes. Christ touches the cheek of the Mother of God with his face. The baby blesses with two fingers with his right hand, and in his left hand, lowered to his knee and covered with a himation, he holds a rolled scroll. The baby's legs, bare to the knees, placed on the wrist of the Virgin's left hand.

3. Conclusions At all times, artists have glorified the beauty of a woman, but it was the image of a woman - a mother - that was the ideal of female beauty. Paintings by great artists are a kind of “artistic key” to comprehend the image of a mother. Therefore, I believe that the topic of “Motherhood” remains unexhausted. As for my hypothesis, I can say that it was confirmed. By comparing paintings by artists of different styles and time periods, I proved that they are brought together, connected by certain patterns that connect historical and cultural processes and the creative freedom of artists. Therefore, we can say with confidence that the image of the mother will excite artists of future generations and will pass through the centuries. It was interesting for me to work on the topic: I learned a lot of new historical facts; artists. I learned about the enormous artistic value of some paintings.

Baumgarten and Adrian Prakhov, both of them just
a vision appeared on the plastered altar wall
Virgin Mary with a baby in her arms. About the miraculous appearance of the face of God
The mother immediately started hearing rumors that reached the metropolitan. That
asked Prahov to immediately write a note in the newspaper and explain
public that there is no miracle at all, that the image is just stains of dampness on the plaster. As commanded, so Prahov and
did.
Viktor Vasnetsov, having already refused to work in Vladimirsky,
on a spring evening at the dacha, I was simply amazed by the image of my
spouses with a baby son in their arms. The child reached out to
the wondrous spectacle of the spring garden that opened up to him and splashed
hands. The sight of a woman with a baby struck Vasnetsov so much that
the thought suddenly occurred to him how nice it would be to paint the Virgin Mary with
a baby, such as those just before our eyes
people dear to him. He immediately decided to paint the Cathedral and
the next day I sent a telegram to Prahov about my consent...
