Petersburg Academy of Arts. Here he was engaged in S. during his studies at the Academy Tropinin acquired a friendly location and respect of the best students: Kiprensky, Varnek, Skotnikov. At the academic exhibition of the year, his painting “Boy, yearning for his dead bird”, which was awarded the empress, was presented. In the year, he was withdrawn to the new estate of Count Morkov - to the Podolsk village of Kukavka in Ukraine - and instead of the deceased father, the manager of the estate.

In the year at the age of 47, the artist finally receives freedom. Scotnikova ”and receives the title of appointed artist. In the year, for the “Portrait of K.

He was buried in the Moscow Vagankovsky cemetery.

In the year in Moscow, the Museum of V. Tropinin and Moscow artists of his time was opened. The artist’s works are attributed to romanticism. During this period, the master also creates expressive local, Little Russian images-plugs. Being in St. Petersburg, he was among the townspeople, small and medium landowners, from whom he later began to write portraits, which led him to realism.

The author, unlike romantic portraiters, tried to emphasize the typicality of heroes. But at the same time, he sympathized with them that poured out in the image of inner attractiveness. For the same purpose, Tropinin tried not to show the obvious social affiliation of people. Such works of the artist as the “lace”, “guitarist”, etc. Tropinin depicted a specific person, and through him tried to show everything typical of a given circle of people.

They seem to reflect some minutes of higher insight, when an artist with the only and already unique ease and freedom as if he sing a song given to him by nature. In them - freshness, unspelity of mental strength, integrity and indestructibility of his inner world, love for people, a stock of goodness. The properties of his nature, wide, faithful to his vocation, favorable to someone else's trouble, forgiving many burdens of everyday prose, are shown in these canvases.

Tropinin left people a trace of his humane and maybe a somewhat simple -minded look at the world. Over time, in his canvases, starting with the reverent-pressing portrait of his son approx. Such and invisibly, immersed in the creative element, as if listening to the Muse A. Pushkin in the famous portrait of the All-Russian Museum of Pushkin, Pushkin. Tropinin continues the line of the type of portrait, in particular in the famous lace, in the same place, bribing with its sentimentally and poetic appearance.

Turning to the genre, “nameless” image of the guitarist, in the same place; And many others, he usually, fixing success, repeats the composition in several versions. He also varies his self -portraits many times. Over the years, the role of the spiritual atmosphere, the “aura” of the image - a pronounced background, significant details - only increases. The best example is a self -portrait with brushes and a palette where the artist presented himself against a window with a spectacular view of the Kremlin.

Tropinin devotes a number of works to colleagues-artists depicted in the work or in the contemplation of I. Vitali, approx. Bryullov,; both portraits in the Tretyakov Gallery; and others. At the same time, the Tropinsky manner is invariably inherent in a specifically intimate, homemade flavor. These are, for example, “negligent portraits”, with models, emphasized, like Ravich, in a non -parallest dress.

In a popular woman in the window based on the poems of M. Lermontov, the treasurer, in the same place, this laid -back sincerely acquires an erotic taste. Later, it became the tradition of contrasting the “home” poetics of Tropinin’s paintings - as a special line of the Moscow romantic school as a whole - the “stiffness” of St. Petersburg. The later works of the master, a servant with a storm, considering money, e years, also indicate the extinction of coloristic skill, anticipating, however, an acute interest in the dramatic domestic, characteristic of “mobility”.

The important sphere of Tropinin's work is also made up of its sharp -shaking pencil sketches.When he found out about this, then after numerous requests, he agreed to officially determine the young man at the “outsider” academy, a freedom, a student, which was not forbidden by serfs.
