A brief description of the painting Bezhin Meadow. Landscape in the story of I.S

The theme of the picture arose under the influence of Turgenev's story "Bezhin Meadow". Turgenev was one of Makovsky's favorite writers. Peasant children, with their spontaneity, their closeness to nature, attracted and excited the artist. It is no coincidence that the poetic images of peasant children will pass through all his work. . More than once he returned to the theme "Night", finding new colors, new nuances in the motive that captured him. The most successful of these paintings is a late version of his competitive work "Night" (1879), which is in the collection of the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg.
The painting by V.E. Makovsky "Night" coincides in theme with Turgenev's story "Bezhin Meadow", but is not a direct illustration, since it differs from him in details: Turgenev has five boys, in the picture there are seven boys and a girl; there is no fire in the picture, there is no figure of a hunter. But the figure of a boy telling something, teenage listeners, captured by an interesting story, the background of the picture - an early summer morning before sunrise, the figures of horses grazing in the distance - all these are Turgenev's features; they evoke in the memory of the audience the landscapes and characteristics of the boys from "Bezhin Meadows". We are trying to find in the picture the heroes of Turgenev's story, the boys Fedya, Pavlusha, Ilyusha, Kostya and Vanya.

"... the morning was beginning. The dawn had not yet blushed anywhere, but it was already turning white in the east ...". Turgenev's landscape gives an earlier picture of dawn in time: at Makovsky, the east is already colored, the golden-scarlet tone of the dawn is already approaching pale gray. More consonant with the picture is the second, final landscape in the story. This landscape, as it were, continues what is visible in the picture: here is a "thinning fog" that covers the horizon, and "scarlet, then red, golden streams of young, hot light" illuminating the faces and figures of children.
Which image of nature is more complete and versatile: in a picture or verbal? It is impossible to depict the blinking of stars, the variability of the color of the sky, the appearing dampness (dew), the sounds that were heard, the fluttering of the breeze ... On the canvas, the artist captured one moment of the landscape - in the words of the writer, a picture of dawn and sunrise is given in motion.(From the book: Smirnov S.A. Teaching literature in grades 5-8. - M .: Uchpedgiz, 1962)

"Bezhin Meadow" is a work about the complex relationships between man and nature, which, according to Turgenev, has not only a "welcomingly radiant", but also a formidably indifferent face. In a letter to Bettina Arnim in 1841, Turgenev wrote: "Nature is a single miracle and a whole world of miracles: every person should be the same - that's what he is ... What would nature be without us - what would we be without nature? And both are unthinkable!.. how infinitely sweet - and bitter - and joyful and at the same time hard life!<...>One has only to go out into the open field, into the forest - and if, despite all the joyful state of the soul, you still feel in its innermost depths some kind of constriction, inner constraint, which appears just at the moment when nature takes possession of man. Turgenev I. S. Complete collection of works and letters. Letters. - M.; L., 1961. - V. 1. - P. 436.)
Pictures of nature are closely connected with the content of the story "Bezhin Meadow". Their role is different.
The description of the hunter's wanderings, the story of the feeling of fear that seized him when he got into the hollow, helps to better understand what effect the pictures of the night nature were supposed to produce on the illiterate village children. The mystery, anxiety of the situation prompts the boys the themes of their scary stories.
The picture of a beautiful July day with its soft colors is in tune with the characters of the boys. It allows you to better understand the discreet inner beauty of children, the loving attitude of the author towards them.
The description of the early morning ends the story optimistically. A feeling of joy and confidence fills the soul of the writer. Many contemporaries saw in the words "the morning began" a great faith in the fate of Russia, its future. These lines echo the prose poem "The Russian Language": "But one cannot believe that such a language was not given to a great people!" Yu.V. Lebedev writes: “Bezhin Meadow opens and closes with the rising of a mighty luminary, one of the best stories about Russian nature and its children. In the Hunter’s Notes, Turgenev created a single image of a living poetic Russia, crowned with a life-affirming sunny nature. In peasant children, living in union with her, he saw the "embryo of future great deeds, great national development" (Lebedev Yuri. Turgenev.–M: Young Guard, 1990. ZHZL)

Story I.S. Turgenev "Courtmaster" and N.V. Nevrev's painting "Torg" (1866)

When studying the works of I.S. Turgenev, especially when studying the anti-serf orientation of the "Hunter's Notes", one can use Nikolai Vasilyevich Nevrev's painting "Torg" (1866).
In the writer's work, a large place is occupied by the image of the cruelty and heartlessness of the feudal landowners, exposing their external gloss, their apparent enlightenment. Characteristic in this regard is the story "The Burmister".


Here is a short excerpt from that story.
Having had a hearty breakfast and with visible pleasure, Arkady Pavlich poured himself a glass of red wine, raised it to his lips, and suddenly frowned.
Why is the wine not heated? he asked in a rather harsh voice of one of the valets.
The valet became confused, stopped dead in his tracks, and turned pale.
“Am I asking you, my dear? Arkady Pavlich went on calmly, never taking his eyes off him.
The unfortunate valet hesitated on the spot, twirled his napkin, and did not say a word. Arkady Pavlich lowered his head and looked thoughtfully at him from under his brows.
“Pardon, mon cher,” he said with a pleasant smile, touching my knee in a friendly way, and again stared at the valet. “Well, go ahead,” he added after a short silence, raised his eyebrows and rang the bell.
A fat, swarthy, black-haired man entered, with a low forehead and completely swollen eyes.
“About Fyodor ... give orders,” Arkady Pavlich said in an undertone and with perfect self-control.
Here is a classic example of landlord hypocrisy. One question of the master horrifies the serf. The servant for the most insignificant oversight (which, perhaps, was not) is subjected to flogging. A curious artistic detail: in the above passage, not one of the master's servants utters a word: the serfs are reduced to the position of meek, dumb beings.

Serfdom was severely condemned not only by writers, but also by artists. The painting "Bargaining" depicts a scene of the sale of peasants typical of the serf era. The content of the picture is extremely simple.
The landlords are at the table a peaceful conversation. They are apparently preparing to wash down the most common trade deal with wine. The subject of trade is also ... the most common - serfs. The action takes place in the house of a rich and "enlightened" landowner. He has books on the shelves, books even on the floor. A barometer is visible. There is a big picture on the wall. Next to it are portraits of Mirabeau, a famous figure in the French bourgeois revolution, and Alexander I, the Russian emperor, who wanted to appear as an enlightened monarch...
Reading books and being carried away by liberal ideas does not in the least prevent the landlords from remaining cruel and despotic, does not prevent them from engaging in human trafficking. The artist's picture, as it were, complements the writer's story and concretizes our ideas about autocratic-serf Russia, about the Russia about which V. G. Belinsky wrote: "... Russia ... is a terrible sight of a country where people traffic in people .. where ... not only there are no guarantees for the person, honor and property, but there is not even a police order, but there are only huge corporations of various service thieves and robbers. ("Letter to Gogol").

Turgenev's skill in depicting native nature

(on the example of the story "Date" from the cycle "Notes of a Hunter" and the painting by I.I. Levitan "Golden Autumn")

Early autumn. Nature gives man its last fruits, begins to prepare for a winter sleep, but at the first stages of farewell to summer, it becomes even more beautiful, fragrant with the aromas of withering. We are a little sad from this withering, but along with the chill of autumn and the delicate smell of damp leaves, we feel a surge of new strength, and the feeling of sadness is replaced by cheerfulness. It is not for nothing that in many arts - in music, in paintings, in poetry, autumn is so abundantly and so brightly reflected. And it is no coincidence that early autumn is so affectionately called golden among the people.
Let's look at the painting by Isaac Ilyich Levitan "Golden Autumn". How does this picture justify its name with all its content? What is shown on it? What colors, colors prevail? Indeed, golden, yellow-red. But why so much blue and green? Let's look at the shadows. How did the artist depict the time of day? And what moment? What do birch trunks look like? Yes, it's noon. The sun peeked out from behind light clouds, and the trunks seem to be silk, and the water in the river is blue.


This is how the painter captured the golden autumn. And how can a writer, an artist of the word, draw this time of year, no longer with the help of brushes and paints, but with the means of language? Let's see how Turgenev does it in the story "Date".
Levitan and Turgenev have early autumn. Levitan has the colors of golden autumn. But doesn't Turgenev have colors? Only these paints are verbal. They are so precise and vivid that they evoke vivid pictures in our imagination. Let's eat them. Yes, it is "warm sunshine"; "azure, clear and gentle, like a beautiful eye"; this is the "inside of the grove", which "lit up all over, as if suddenly everything in it smiled: thin trunks ... of birches suddenly took on a gentle glow of white silk ... the leaves suddenly became full of color and lit up with pure gold"; "stalks of curly ferns, already painted in their autumn color, like the wind of overripe grapes"; the leaves are still green, but one young birch flared up in the sun, "all red or all gold."
These are verbal paints, like those of a painter. But the artist of the word has other possibilities, which the artists of the brush do not have. After all, a painter can paint only one moment, one event, one episode on one canvas. Here at Levitan the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, and everything lit up, everything began to play. A writer can depict nature, people, events in motion, in numerous changes. Let's see how this manifested itself in Turgenev's autumn picture of nature.
“The sky was either clouded over ... with clouds, then it suddenly cleared in places for a moment, and then ... an azure appeared”; "The interior of the grove ... was constantly changing, depending on whether the sun shone or was covered by a cloud"; the leaves either lit up with “pure gold”, and the birch trunks seemed to be silk, then suddenly everything around turned blue, “bright colors instantly went out, the birches were all white”, etc.
And one more thing: Turgenev, the artist of the word, makes us not only see, but also hear nature:
“The leaves rustled a little over my head; one could tell by their noise what season it was then,” “It was not a cheerful, laughing thrill of spring, not a soft whisper, not a long talk of summer, not a timid and cold babble of late autumn, but barely audible, drowsy chatter ... " Turgenev hears the babble of autumn leaves, the whisper of the tiniest rain, the mocking voice of a titmouse. He knows how to listen to the silence of autumn nature.
And in other descriptions of nature, Turgenev makes us smell and smell. Remember, in "Bezhin Meadow": "In the dry and clean air it smells of wormwood, compressed rye, buckwheat."
The writer subtly conveys the tactile sensations and feelings of a person: "A fresh stream ran over my face ... My body responded with a light, cheerful shiver."
This is what we see, hear, feel in Turgenev's landscapes. The writer draws pictures of the early summer morning with multi-colored paints, when "golden stripes stretched across the sky" and "along with the dew, a scarlet sheen falls on the glades", and the coming evening, when "the dawn blazed with fire and engulfed half the sky." Together with the author, we feel the transparent freshness of an autumn day and notice how brightly a young birch flares up in the sun, "all red or all gold." The writer knows every herb and every leaf, distinguishes the smells of wormwood, clover and porridge, buckwheat and ripening rye. He listens to the voice of the lark, the robin, the quail and the chickadee, the chirping of the grasshoppers in the thick grass, and the splashing of the fish in the silence of the night. He knows how to listen to the silence of a hot day in a dense forest, the babbling of light rain in the foliage, the mysterious sounds of a summer night. Nature is constantly changing in his descriptions, she lives and breathes, and a person experiences a feeling of joy from communicating with her. (From the book: Bocharov G.K. For forty years. Notes of a philologist. - M .: Education, 1972)

I.S. Turgenev and the painting by V.D. Polenov "Moscow courtyard" (1878)

When, on the slope of his life, Tolstoy, attacking the empty, meaningless "art for the sake of art", ranked landscape painting as an art of this kind, Repin resolutely objected to him. The landscape is dear to us not only because, he said, that it accurately depicts nature, but also because it reflects the impression of the artist, his personal attitude to nature, understanding of its beauty. The best landscape painters with all their creativity confirmed the correctness of Repin in this dispute.
In 1882, Turgenev's friend M.V. Olsufiev visited the writer, who lived at that time in France, near Paris. Turgenev was sick, unhappy. He yearned, thought about Russia. "The first thing that caught my eye," he recalled Olsufiev, is my old familiar painting by Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov "Moscow Courtyard".
Who is not familiar with this picture now, this small green courtyard, lost among the quiet lanes of the Arbat! Clear summer day. Everything seems to be dozing, warmed by the gentle rays of the sun: trees hanging over the fence, an old white house, grass with trodden paths, a rickety barn, a five-domed church with golden onions, a horse harnessed to a cart. Sleepy chickens roam by the well. Pinkish clouds doze in the sky... However, what Olsufiev saw at Turgenev's in France was not the painting itself (it was already in the Tretyakov Gallery then), but only one of the studies for it. And this is how this sketch came to Turgenev.
In 1876, Polenov returned to his homeland after several years of retirement abroad. He graduated from the academy with Repin, received a gold medal with him, and together with him languished living abroad and rushed to Russia. “No one wants to return to his homeland more than I do,” he wrote from France, “in order to prove in practice my ardent love for her and my sincere desire to be of service to her as far as I can.” Returning, he decided, together with Repin and Vasnetsov, to settle in Moscow, away from the academy, from St. Petersburg decorum, from official supervision.
Once, wandering along the Arbat alleys in search of an apartment, he went into one of the houses, on the door of which there was a note: "For rent", and right from the window he saw a courtyard illuminated by the sun with a well covered with a lid and a church visible behind the shed. “I immediately sat down and wrote it,” he later recalled. This line eloquently testifies to the irresistible impression that captured the artist and was so clearly expressed in his picture. The artist's direct impression of a fine summer day, of the shining domes of a church, a manor house with a pediment, a barn with a broken roof, simple linen hung to dry, children on the grass affected the "Moscow Courtyard". From the feeling of serenity and everyday life in Moscow. "This is Turgenev's corner," said Polenov, and he said this not only because it was here, near the Arbat and Maiden's Field, that the action of Turgenev's famous novel "Smoke" began. "Turgenev" was the very look of the artist, full of pacified love for everything dear - albeit dim, inconspicuous, but dear.
When Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev came from Paris to Moscow for the opening of the monument to Pushkin, dozens of people came to him, for whom the name of the writer, his novels, stories and short stories became something immeasurably dear and close. Was among these people and Polenov. It was then that he, as a sign of love and gratitude, gave Turgenev a sketch, which Olsufiev recalled. And Turgenev took with him to Paris a precious corner of his native land, with its sky, air, with its colors and smells, with its white-headed children and the familiar warmth of the native sun - with everything that resonates so much in the heart of a person when, after a long absence enters the house where he spent his childhood, where he grew up and for the first time knew with his soul the meaning of the word "motherland".
Garshin called painting "the most intimate of the plastic arts" for a reason. Thinking about this property of painting, about its ability to respond, to respond to the deepest human feelings, one cannot help but recall the “Moscow Courtyard” by the sick and yearning Turgenev in the distant suburbs of Paris. (From the book: Naumovich V.L. The face of time. Children's literature. M.1965)


“In the summer, Turgenev and the Viardot family went to the dacha in Bougival, on the estate “Les Frenes” (“Ash trees”). They left the Saint-Lazare station. In Argenteuil, they usually changed to a river steamboat and sailed along the Seine. , the tiled roofs of the villas were reddening in the greenery of the gardens. Whistling merrily, the steamboat sailed under the arches of the railway bridges, overtaking boats decorated with festive flags with a resting public in colorful dresses. At the turn of the river, finally, the high spire of the old church of the XII century, located on the top of the hill, was shown which overlooked the meadows and willows of the island of Croissy, famous for the paintings of the famous Corot.In Bougival lived the French Impressionist painters Renoir, Claude Monet and Sisley.In Bougival had a summer residence and Nikolai Ivanovich Turgenev.
Two roads strewn with coarse sand led uphill to the big house. Between the groups of bushes, located picturesquely, with great taste, plentiful flower beds were full of flowers. Under the dense foliage of trees whimsically narrow paths wound. And everywhere the water murmured and sang: not only in the pools, but also in heaps of skillfully thrown stone. Streams of pure spring water were knocked out from under the mossy trunks of old trees, and, murmuring, scattered in different directions.
Near the large manor house is a small "le chalet", Turgenev's property and dwelling. Upon entering the office the picture of V. D. Polenov "Moscow courtyard" was striking. The walls were lined with two large bookcases. In the very middle of the study, in front of the fireplace, there was a large desk with neatly tidied up papers, books, magazines.
(From the book: Lebedev Yu.V. Turgenev. ZhZL)

In the story "Bezhin Meadow" by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev, the landscape plays an important role. The story begins with a description of an early July morning, where the narrator describes all the beauty of nature. He writes that such a morning is the best, the weather has already settled down and in the mornings it is not cold, but not hot either. The story is told by a hunter who came to the forest and describes all the beauty of nature. The narrator describes the clouds so beautifully that the picture is mesmerizing.

He says that the clouds stand motionless due to calm weather and form bizarre patterns. From the description of this picture, you can understand how good the mood of the hunter is, and he admires the surrounding beauty. Then he describes the onset of evening, when these same clouds turn lavender and darkness slowly begins to creep in.

The following picture is described when the hunter got lost in the forest and cannot find a way out. He says that he went in the wrong place, and he had to go down to the valley, where the hunter became terrified. Here the narrator describes that the grass in the valley is wet and tall, he felt uneasy, and he quickly wanted to get to the hill in order to see the further road. Climbing up another hill, the hunter realized that he had completely lost his way, and he felt uneasy.

The landscape in the story conveys not only the beauty of Russian nature, but also the feelings of the characters themselves. Here the hunter sees a fire and decides to ask for a lodging for the night, near the fire were local boys who drove out a herd of horses for the night. The boys accept the hunter and he calms down. Here the landscape takes on a different picture and plays with different colors. The narrator listens to the stories of the guys, in which they talk about goblin, werewolves and mermaids.

The hunter opens up a different picture of swamps and trees, on which mermaids sit and destroy people. Next, the narrator describes the dawn, which had just begun and a cool breeze began to walk between the leaves of trees and bushes. The narrator is going home and leaving the guys, having walked a little, morning came and again the warm rays illuminated the earth.

Composition Landscape in Turgenev's story Bezhin meadow

Turgenev's stories are always full of colorful descriptions of nature, especially in the cycle "Notes of a Hunter". The author skillfully paints landscapes, in the smallest detail. When you read the works of Ivan Sergeevich, you are completely immersed in the atmosphere of what is happening.

Reading the story "Bezhin Meadow", you clearly imagine the forest through which the hunter was walking. You can almost hear the rustle of leaves. Imagine a clear blue sky, and a gentle spill of dawn over it. At the beginning of the story, the description of nature captures attention and conveys the beauty of the views that surround the protagonist, as well as the mood of the hunter.

In the beginning it is said about summer in general. Sunny July days are described, lightness, warmth, serenity are felt. When it is told about the hunter himself and how he walks satisfied with his prey, slightly tired, his fatigue just makes it possible to feel the outline of the landscape: “The air is still bright, but no longer illuminated by the sun”, “Cold and thickening shadows”.

Further, when the hunter realizes that he is lost, the author again conveys his anxiety through nature: “Darkness is pouring”, “Night is like a thundercloud”, “Gloomy darkness”. You immediately understand how the main character is going through, how a feeling of fear is slowly growing in him, because of the likelihood of staying on a dark night in the middle of an unfamiliar forest. When the hunter went out into the meadow and met the shepherd boys sitting by the fire, again nature around him describes his condition. The hero feels calm, the fear of staying in the forest in the middle of the night has receded and now he can not worry, relax and listen to the stories of the guys.

The boys told various mystical stories and fables, and here nature gives these stories mystery and mystery. Then out of nowhere, a dove appeared and abruptly flew by, then something rang. At the end of the story, the writer again shows us how the hero feels when dawn begins and he goes home. In the words: “Everything stirred, woke up, sang, rustled, spoke,” together with the hunter you feel relief that just about, very soon he will be at home. Nothing else threatens the hero of the story.

The role of the landscape in this work is very important, it allows readers to delve deeper into the plot and feel like a participant in the events described by the author. As if you are sitting next to the guys and the hunter, by the fire in the Bezhino meadow and listening to various interesting stories.

The key words will be the words "landscape", "nature".

3. Learning new material.

What is a landscape?

A landscape is an artistic description of a picture of nature. Describing nature, the writer shows its features, beauty and grandeur. But he does not simply describe nature. At the same time, he expresses his attitude towards her, conveys his mood, reveals thoughts and feelings, helps to understand the mood of his hero.

The story "Bezhin Meadow" begins with a lyrical landscape imbued with a sense of the joy of life - a description of a "beautiful July day."

A) - How does the landscape appear before the hunter at the very beginning of the story? We find this place in the text, read it expressively, so that it is easier to imagine the July day. ( Episode reading) (Slide)

What are they, the colors of the July day? (the sky is clear; blush, the sun is not fiery, not dim - crimson, hello - radiant, purple)

Who found in the story what a day in July smells like? ( Wormwood, compressed rye, buckwheat.)

Conclusion: The July day creates an impression of joyful and calm. The landscape "Bezhina Meadows" outlines the theme of the story - the theme of the beauty of nature - and creates a bright mood.

- This first part of the story creates a vivid image of Russian summer nature.

B) - And now let's try to imagine a quiet dewy night; a fire is burning nearby, a river is nearby, horses are nibbling grass a little further away. Quiet, comfortable. There are a few guys around the campfire. Guys unknown to us. These are peasant children of the century before last. They graze horses and while away the time, telling different fables. They are unusual for us. They are different.

And now let's observe what they see, observe at night, what does the author of the story see? ( Students read an episode describing a summer night.) (Slide)

(Meanwhile, the night was approaching and growing like a thundercloud...)

How is the disturbing mood of the read fragment created?

Find words and expressions that convey the feelings of a person? (Expressions underlined).

The hero's internal monologue, rhetorical questions, vocabulary symbolizing something creepy, dark, ominous, disturbing.

What role do dots play? (The abundance of dots emphasize the confusion of the hero.)

Conclusion: Under the influence of darkness, a mood of mystery and vague anxiety grows, preparing the reader for the main part of the story - for the boys' conversation about brownies and goblin.

What does a summer night smell like? (“At the campfire: the smell of a Russian summer night ... P. 137, slide 6)

Night nature lives its own life. She has her own sounds, inexplicable, mysterious. For the boys, whom the hunter met at the night fire, nature on the one hand is their life, even a holiday. On the other hand, nature for them is full of mysteries, incomprehensible phenomena, which they explain by the action of otherworldly forces: in stories about a brownie, a mermaid, a goblin, a water one.

Guys, you, too, probably noticed that during the day you feel different, not like at night? But as?

- Indeed, the night nature creates a sad, mysterious mood.

And now consider the picture of deep night before dawn. Let's read the episode of the description of the deep night. ( The students read the episode.)

What sounds do we hear here?

The landscape changes when the author moves on to characterize the boys and their "terrible stories". Turgenev, on the one hand, admires nature, the beauty of the night, with great interest their mysterious stories, and on the other hand, he seems to be experiencing incomprehensible phenomena of nature with them “The night was solemn and regal ...” and “a strange, sharp, painful cry suddenly rang out two times in a row over the river and, after a few moments, it repeated further ... "Slide p. 149)

Find the episode "Short Summer Nights! .." (Slide p. 155)

The whole story ends with a picture of a summer morning. The picture of the awakening and revival of nature is drawn with a special feeling. Let's find this place in the story. ( Episode reading.)

“The morning was beginning ...” (Slide p. 155)

In this description, one can hear the noise of awakening life: “... At first, scarlet, then red, golden streams of young, hot light poured ... Everything stirred, woke up, sang, rustled, spoke. Large drops of dew blushed everywhere like radiant diamonds; towards me, clean and clear, as if also washed by the morning coolness, the sounds of a bell came, and suddenly a rested herd rushed past me, driven by familiar boys.

Nature in the story is like a living being, she needs to wake up, move, meet a new day.

What colors do we see in the picture of the awakening morning?

And what sounds are heard in the early morning in the meadow?

With love and tenderness, Turgenev draws in the story of peasant children, their rich spiritual world, their ability to subtly feel the beauty of nature.

Therefore, perhaps, the story ends with a festive picture of the coming morning.

Try to remove pictures of nature from the story. What will be left?

Teacher: Yes, without pictures of nature, without these landscape sketches, the charm and all the charm of this short but such a beautiful story will disappear. Pictures of nature helped us to better understand the characters of the characters in the story.

4. Working with a dictionary.

Landscape is a picture of nature in a work of art. The description of nature helps to better understand the characters and their actions, to imagine the place of action. (Slides 11-12)

5. What artistic visual means did the writer use?

Epithets: "The sun is not fiery, not red-hot ... Bright and radiant", "playing rays", "an endlessly overflowing river", "a mighty luminary."

Comparisons: “the brilliance is like the brilliance of forged silver”, “they themselves ... are azure like the sky”, “the last of them, blackish and indefinite, like smoke”, “like a carefully carried candle” ...

Metaphors: it spreads with a gentle blush”, “the sun rises peacefully”, “playing rays gushed” ...

"... the morning was beginning. The dawn had not yet blushed anywhere, but it was already turning white in the east ...". Turgenev's landscape gives an earlier picture of dawn in time: at Makovsky, the east is already colored, the golden-scarlet tone of the dawn is already approaching pale gray. More consonant with the picture is the second, final landscape in the story. This landscape, as it were, continues what is visible in the picture: here is a "thinning fog" that covers the horizon, and "scarlet, then red, golden streams of young, hot light" illuminating the faces and figures of children.
Which image of nature is more complete and versatile: in a picture or verbal? It is impossible to depict the blinking of stars, the variability of the color of the sky, the appearing dampness (dew), the sounds that were heard, the fluttering of the breeze ... On the canvas, the artist captured one moment of the landscape - in the words of the writer, a picture of dawn and sunrise is given in motion. (From the book: Smirnov S.A. Teaching literature in grades 5-8. - M .: Uchpedgiz, 1962)

"Bezhin Meadow" is a work about the complex relationships between man and nature, which, according to Turgenev, has not only a "welcomingly radiant", but also a formidably indifferent face. In a letter to Bettina Arnim in 1841, Turgenev wrote: "Nature is a single miracle and a whole world of miracles: every person should be the same - that's what he is ... What would nature be without us - what would we be without nature? And both are unthinkable!.. how infinitely sweet - and bitter - and joyful and at the same time hard life!<...>One has only to go out into the open field, into the forest - and if, despite all the joyful state of the soul, you still feel in its innermost depths some kind of constriction, inner constraint, which appears just at the moment when nature takes possession of man. Turgenev I. S. Complete collection of works and letters. Letters. - M.; L., 1961. - V. 1. - P. 436.)
Pictures of nature are closely connected with the content of the story "Bezhin Meadow". Their role is different.
The description of the hunter's wanderings, the story of the feeling of fear that seized him when he got into the hollow, helps to better understand what effect the pictures of the night nature were supposed to produce on the illiterate village children. The mystery, anxiety of the situation prompts the boys the themes of their scary stories.
The picture of a beautiful July day with its soft colors is in tune with the characters of the boys. It allows you to better understand the discreet inner beauty of children, the loving attitude of the author towards them.
The description of the early morning ends the story optimistically. A feeling of joy and confidence fills the soul of the writer. Many contemporaries saw in the words "the morning began" a great faith in the fate of Russia, its future. These lines echo the prose poem "The Russian Language": "But one cannot believe that such a language was not given to a great people!" Yu.V. Lebedev writes: “Bezhin Meadow opens and closes with the rising of a mighty luminary, one of the best stories about Russian nature and its children. In the Hunter’s Notes, Turgenev created a single image of a living poetic Russia, crowned with a life-affirming sunny nature. In peasant children, living in union with her, he saw the "embryo of future great deeds, great national development" (Yuri Lebedev. Turgenev. - M .: Young Guard, 1990. ZhZL)
