Lilac painting, oil on canvas, 40 x 30

It is difficult to imagine may without flowering lilac bushes. They are found in almost every garden or city Park.

In Russia, lilac began to be bred from the end of the XVIII century, but it became widespread in the second half of the XIX century. Famous noble families began to buy French varieties that were fashionable at that time, created by the biologist Victor Lemoine and his son Emile. And this exquisite shrub was originally called not lilac, but " chenille". Remember u f. And. Tyutchev: " To wander about without business and without purpose and inadvertently, on the fly, to come across a fresh spirit of chenille or a bright dream". Lilac is depicted in many paintings by Vrubel, Polenov, Maximov, Konchalovsky. A wonderful romance of Rachmaninoff "lilacs"! One of the composer's fans sent him bouquets of white lilac every year.

And a friend of the fluttering leaves.
Spring of autumn, autumn
This nuance is known to You...
