Old Bathhouse in Domotkanovo

- Canvas, oil. 76,5 x 60,8
- The State Russian Museum
- Ж-4312
Beginning in 1886, Serov was a frequent guest at Domotkanovo, the estate of his friend Vladimir von Derwies. The estate’s natural beauty in summer and winter inspired a number of studies that are amazingly subtle in colour and full of quiet, among which is Old Bathhouse in Domotkanovo, an example of Russian Impressionism. With their lyrical interpretations of nature sustained in light tones and fresh, energetic painting style, these landscapes were new for their time and reflected the quest, typical for Russian young people at the time, for a means of expression that is in accordance with the new mental outlook.

Valentin Serov painted his finest landscapes at Domotkanovo, an estate belonging to his friends in Tver Province. The smooth horizontal grounds, muffled silverochre tones and the calm manner of applying the paint convey the quiet poetry of the dull expanses and the placid mood of a grey day. This effect is intensified by the poetic motif of the sledge being driven out of the gates by a young horse. The landscape is an excellent example of Serov’s masterly command of the paintbrush, particularly in the way the artist conveys the movement of the sledge, the glimmering grey nuances of the shed and the forest in the distance, the snowdrifts in the field and the snow trampled into the road.

Peter II and Princess Elizabeth Riding to Hounds
- 1900
- paper mounted on cardboard, tempera, gouache. 41 x 39
- The State Russian Museum
- Ж-4291
In the middle of the eighteenth century, the period of Rococo, the different forms of hunting which had been popular in Russia since ancient times acquired a ritual and spectacular character. The elegant Tsarist horsemen, inflamed by high-spirited conversation and the imminent hunt, ride purposefully past the half-destroyed village and the poverty stricken villagers, accompanied by a splendid cortege of courtiers. By juxtaposing two Russias, the aristocratic Russia, in step with Europe, and the peasant Russia, dark and denied all rights, Serov exposes the source of the insurmountable contradictions of Russian life. Play and Passion in Russian Fine Art. St-Petersburg. 1999. P. 304.
Designed to illustrate Nikolai Kutepov’s book Tsarist and Imperial Hunting, Valentin Serov’s work reflects the new understanding of history painting at the turn of the century. Serov and the other members of the World of Art preferred poetic images of daily life in the «golden age» of the eighteenth century to the more important historical events. The artist depicted historical themes in order to reflect on the fate of his country. He depicts a dashing cavalcade consisting of the fourteen year-old Tsar Peter II (1727–30) and Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, against a background of rickety huts and down-at-heel peasants. Dynamic, poignant and piquant, Peter II and Princess Elizabeth Riding to Hounds offers an excellent example of Serov’s painterly mastery. The rustic landscape in autumn makes an important contribution to the artistic image. Russian Museum: From Icons to the Modern Times. Palace Editions, St Petersburg, 2015. P. 228.

Beginning in 1886, Serov was a frequent guest at Domotkanovo, the estate of his friend Vladimir von Derwies. The estate’s natural beauty in summer and winter inspired a number of studies that are amazingly subtle in colour and full of quiet, among which is Old Bathhouse in Domotkanovo, an example of Russian Impressionism. With their lyrical interpretations of nature sustained in light tones and fresh, energetic painting style, these landscapes were new for their time and reflected the quest, typical for Russian young people at the time, for a means of expression that is in accordance with the new mental outlook.

- Ж-4291
In the middle of the eighteenth century, the period of Rococo, the different forms of hunting which had been popular in Russia since ancient times acquired a ritual and spectacular character. The elegant Tsarist horsemen, inflamed by high-spirited conversation and the imminent hunt, ride purposefully past the half-destroyed village and the poverty stricken villagers, accompanied by a splendid cortege of courtiers. By juxtaposing two Russias, the aristocratic Russia, in step with Europe, and the peasant Russia, dark and denied all rights, Serov exposes the source of the insurmountable contradictions of Russian life. Play and Passion in Russian Fine Art. St-Petersburg. 1999. P. 304.
Designed to illustrate Nikolai Kutepov’s book Tsarist and Imperial Hunting, Valentin Serov’s work reflects the new understanding of history painting at the turn of the century. Serov and the other members of the World of Art preferred poetic images of daily life in the «golden age» of the eighteenth century to the more important historical events. The artist depicted historical themes in order to reflect on the fate of his country. He depicts a dashing cavalcade consisting of the fourteen year-old Tsar Peter II (1727–30) and Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, against a background of rickety huts and down-at-heel peasants. Dynamic, poignant and piquant, Peter II and Princess Elizabeth Riding to Hounds offers an excellent example of Serov’s painterly mastery. The rustic landscape in autumn makes an important contribution to the artistic image. Russian Museum: From Icons to the Modern Times. Palace Editions, St Petersburg, 2015. P. 228.

Valentin Serov painted this work during the 1905 revolution. The artist harmonically unites the images of youth and the free elements, personified by the keen young horse and the radiant energy of the windswept seascape. This picture was painted at the artist’s dacha on the Gulf of Finland. Contemporaries interpreted the upbeat notes and sunshine as an expression of the revolutionary moods and hopes for change sweeping Russia in 1905.

Valentin Serov painted his finest landscapes at Domotkanovo, an estate belonging to his friends in Tver Province. The smooth horizontal grounds, muffled silverochre tones and the calm manner of applying the paint convey the quiet poetry of the dull expanses and the placid mood of a grey day. This effect is intensified by the poetic motif of the sledge being driven out of the gates by a young horse. The landscape is an excellent example of Serov’s masterly command of the paintbrush, particularly in the way the artist conveys the movement of the sledge, the glimmering grey nuances of the shed and the forest in the distance, the snowdrifts in the field and the snow trampled into the road.
