The Rooks Have Arrived
by Alexei Savrasov
Among the many paintings of famous Russian artists there is one particular painting before which people stop in deep thought. This is the painting by Alexei Savrasov The Rooks Have Arrived.
It has in it something that unites the sorrow and joy, the smile and meditation, which you suddenly feel clearly on the first day of spring. Before us are boundless expanses. The packed grainy snow has not yet melted away but the sound of drops is heard, and melting water flows into a pond. The wind chases clouds around the sky, and the noisy rooks bustle around in their nests in the birch trees.
And all of a sudden, the icy sky lights up with blue. A ray of sun gilds the still dormant branches of the birch trees, casting on the melting snow the fine shadows of the trees.
It is spring. Everything is so simple and wonderful. And behind this simplicity you feel the kind, gentle and attentive spirit of the artist to whom all this is near and dear. It seems that the painting was created in one day, and in one breath.
