Mother woman in the art of the 20th century. Integrated lesson image of a woman - mother through the ages
slide 2
The art of the High Renaissance brought a different understanding of female beauty than in other eras. The titans of the Renaissance Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raphael Santi, Titian create the image of a perfect man, beautiful both physically and spiritually. The embodiment of such an ideal is the Madonna with the baby Jesus - an exalted symbol of motherhood and sacrificial love for people.

"Madonna Litta" is the pearl of the Hermitage collection. In the picture, young Mary carefully holds the baby in her arms. Her bowed profile is full of exceptional beauty and nobility. Lowered eyes and a barely noticeable smile give Madonna's appearance an unusual expressive warmth, illuminate her with a bright maternal feeling. The artist managed to convey his idea of happiness, the earthly joy of being and the holiness of the mother's feelings.

The Sistine Madonna brilliantly embodies the idea of motherhood, an earthly, realistic depiction of a woman mother. She just took a step towards people. Her movement is calm and majestic, there is nothing hurried and fussy in it. She slightly attracts the baby to her, as if afraid to part with him, and at the same time holds him out to people. In this contradictory gesture of the mother, the deep tragedy of what is happening is hidden.

The eyes of the Mother of God are full of a feeling, which in the Middle Ages was defined as "the joy of holy sorrow." The baby gently presses his face against his mother's cheek and wraps his arm around her neck. “Not on the throne, on her arm, hugging her neck with her right hand, gaze into gaze, cheek to cheek .... There is no more dazzling miracle in the worlds, a revelation of pure beauty.
Slide 8
In ancient Russian art, the image of the Virgin is associated with the cult of Mother Earth. Both have common principles of holiness and motherhood. “The incomparable, eternal song of motherhood,” said Igor Emmanuilovich Grabar about the icon “Our Lady of Vladimir”. In ancient Russian icon painting, 4 types of the image of the Virgin are distinguished.

Hello guys!
We all remember the lines from the children's poem "Different mothers are needed. All kinds of mothers are important!". Indeed, this is an undeniable postulate.
The image of mother, mother, mother is inexhaustible. It seems that no matter what side of life or being you touch, you will find its echo everywhere. “All the pride of the world comes from mothers,” said A.M. Gorky, “without the sun, flowers do not bloom, without love there is no happiness, without a woman there is neither a poet nor a hero.”
It is no coincidence that these words of the mother sound like a hymn to life itself, and it is no coincidence that the image of the mother runs through world culture as a bright line: so in the Renaissance, the Madonna with a baby in her arms, in Russian culture, deification in icons.
Mom is truly one of the most difficult professions on Earth, it is a test for Kindness and Generosity. It was she who taught us to walk, to speak, to understand the language of the people. It was she who discovered the beauty of life. The whole world is based on mother's love.Guys, you see a diagram on the board - the sun. Let's write down the keywords of our lesson instead of rays.

Teacher's conversation on the background of a slide show.
The mystery of female beauty has disturbed humanity throughout the history of its existence. There is hardly an artist who would not try to comprehend this secret, but each one discovered it in his own way. The main and unchanged in this comprehension was the ideal of motherhood, the sacred bonds of love between mother and child. From the sculptures of the first artists of the earth, the madonnas of the titans of the Renaissance, the icon-painting faces of the Virgin, inspired musical hymns to the mother woman to the works of contemporary artists - this is the way to comprehend the ideal of female beauty and charm.

K. Petrov-Vodkin
Mother. 1915. Kh.M. 107x98.5. GRM., St. Petersburg
Motherhood - one of the artist's favorite themes - is solved too in the Russian style. The images of Russian women, which the artist lovingly and carefully depicts, are painted not so much in national, but in social shades. They have spirituality and a combination of chastity and vitality.
In the 1910s, the master had, as it were, two images, two types of a peasant mother.
Associated with the idea of chaste austerity and purity is the sensation of deep blue. The beginning of filled vitality is cast in a red color no less filled. In "Mother" in 1913, this color turns into the color of the mother's womb, it is not for nothing that it so invariably embraces the hips of Petrov-Vodkin's women. And so, throughout the entire creative evolution of the master, a full-blooded female appearance took root, acquired more and more concreteness. He was fully defined in the painting "Mother" in 1915. A number of researchers of the art of Petrov-Vodkin express the opinion that this canvas was finally rewritten by the artist no earlier than 1917. If this is so - and this seems plausible - then from this picture we could count the development of this vital maternal, or - more broadly - female type in all the post-revolutionary work of the master. The mother in this picture by Petrov-Vodkin is a young woman with steep shoulders and a stately neck. Her calico skirt, which occupies the entire bottom of the picture, is flaming and sonorous and hot. The sloping lines of the wall, windows and shrines - they will now become an invariable detail of many of the artist's works - only enhance the almost statuary density of her figure, the charm of her simple and at the same time almost "royal" posture. And most importantly, the very expression of the mother's "face" has changed decisively. The slightly "fast-humble" expression of the peasant mother of 1913, with her "drowsy-drowsy" look from under semicircular eyebrows, was replaced by a more open and bold expression. What is one turn of the head worth - so beautiful and free, as if freeing from something burdensome or fettering!
Leonardo da Vinci
Madonna Litta
Madonna Litta 1478-1482
Hermitage, St. Petersburg, Russia
Names of paintings such as "Benois" or "Litta" come from the names of the former owners of the paintings.
"Madonna Litta" - completed a few years later than "Madonna Benois". This time, the artist chose a more strict type of Madonna's face, withstood the picture in a different color scheme, even turned again to the tempera technique, introducing into it, however, a number of new techniques (Leonardo constantly carried out all kinds of experiments). But the main meaning, the ideological content of the work is the same as before: the same humanity, the same love for the genuine, living feelings of people pervades the entire work. The mother breastfeeds the child, fixing him with a thoughtful tender look; the child, full of health and unconscious energy, moves in the arms of the mother, spins, moves with his legs. He looks like his mother: the same swarthy, with the same golden color of the stripes. She admires him, immersed in her thoughts, focusing on the child all the power of her feelings. Even a cursory glance captures precisely this fullness of feelings and concentration of mood in Madonna Litta. But if we are aware of how Leonardo achieves this expressiveness, then we will be convinced that the artist of the mature stage of the Renaissance uses a very generalized, very laconic way of depicting.
Completing the stage of a long search in the art of the Renaissance, the artist, on the basis of a confident and accurate embodiment of the visible, creates a poetic image in which the random and petty are discarded, and those features are selected that help create an exciting and sublime idea of a person. Leonardo da Vinci, as it were, brings together the disparate efforts of his contemporaries and, in many ways ahead of them, raises Italian art to a new level.

Here are reproductions of paintings by very famous artists who captured the image of a woman on their canvases.
The secrets of female beauty have disturbed mankind throughout the history of its existence. There is hardly an artist who would not try to comprehend this secret, but each one discovered it in his own way.
The main and unchanged in this comprehension was the ideal of motherhood, the sacred bond between mother and child. From the madonnas of the titans of the Renaissance, the icon-painting faces of the Virgin to the works of contemporary artists - this is the way to comprehend the ideal of female beauty and charm.
Icon “Our Lady of Vladimir”
Guys, pay attention to the image of the icon “Our Lady of Vladimir”.
The medieval art of European countries cannot be imagined without the widely depicted image of the Mother of God. In Western Europe, he was associated with the cult of the Madonna, and in Rus' - with the Mother of God, who was perceived as the protector and patron of her native land, the intercessor of people before God.
One of the best images of Byzantine painting was this icon painted in Constantinople in the 12th century. Then it was brought to Rus'.
The eyes of the Mother of God are full of a feeling, which in the Middle Ages was defined as "the joy of holy sadness." These words accurately convey the main meaning. What is destined from above will be done.
The baby gently presses his face against the mother's cheek and wraps his arm around her neck.
Children's eyes are fixed on the Mother, as if they are looking for protection from her. Anxiety and sadness lurked on her stern face. With all the maternal tenderness in her appearance, one feels the consciousness of inevitable sacrifice.
The artist Grabar called this icon "an incomparable, wonderful, eternal song of motherhood."
In ancient Russian art, the image of the Mother of God was associated with the cult of Mother Earth, both of which had common principles of holiness and motherhood:
"The first mother is the Blessed Virgin Mary, the second mother is the damp earth" - says folk wisdom.
The stingy colorful range, which is dominated by soft, dark tones, still creates a feeling of calm, quiet and bright joy.
Years go by, centuries run, but the theme of “Woman-Mother” does not disappear in painting.
The art of the Renaissance (XV century) will bring a different understanding of female beauty than that of previous artists. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael - strive to create a generalized image of a perfect person, beautiful both physically and spiritually. The embodiment of such an ideal is the Madonna, the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus Christ - an exalted symbol of motherhood and sacrificial love for people.
One of the best works on this subject will be “Madonna Lita”. Leonardo da Vinci.
On the desk "Madonna Litta" by Leonardo da Vinci.
Student performance
The painting depicts a young Mary, carefully holding a baby in her arms. Her bowed profile is full of exceptional beauty and nobility. Lowered eyes, a barely noticeable smile give the Madonna's appearance extraordinary expressiveness and warmth, illuminate her with a bright maternal feeling. In this wonderful picture, the artist managed to convey his idea of happiness, pure earthly joy of being and the holiness of the best human feelings.
student performance
One of the greatest creations of world art was Raphael's painting "The Sistine Madonna", which ingeniously embodies the idea of motherhood. An earthly, realistic image of a mother woman. She has just taken a barely noticeable step towards people. Her movement is calm and majestic. It seems that she does not walk, but soars in the clouds. She slightly attracts the baby, as if afraid to part with him, and at the same time stretches him to people. In this contradictory gesture of the mother, one feels the deep tragedy of what is happening. The eyes of the Madonna look trustingly and openly. The exceptional charm of this picture Raphael is a natural combination of simplicity, tender femininity and regal grandeur.In her, the human rises to the divine, and the divine becomes earthly.
Student performance
Guys, we got acquainted with the work of Renaissance artists, but after all, Russian artists in their work did not bypass the image of a woman - a mother. A recognized portrait painter, academician of painting A.G. Venetsianov, painted ordinary Russian women - peasant women, busy with hard work.
On the board “On arable land. Spring"
"On arable land. Spring" - this picture depicts a peasant woman in a long pink sundress and a scarlet kokoshnik. She leads the horses harnessed to the harrow. And a playing child sits to the side, at whom the young mother looks with love and tenderness. Behind the woman is the boundless Russian distance.
And here is another painting by Venetsianov "In the Harvest. In Summer" The sun beats mercilessly, sheaves stand in rows, the hills turn green. In the center of the picture is a female reaper with a child in her arms, she affectionately hugs him, forgetting about fatigue. You look at this picture and remember the lines of the poem by N.A. Nekrasov:
Village suffering is in full swing,
Share you! - Russian woman's share!
Hardly harder to find...
The heat is unbearable: the plain is treeless.
Fields, mowing and expanse of heaven.
The sun is beating down mercilessly...
On the desk "Petrograd Madonna"
Here comes the 20th century.
In the art of the 20th century, the eternal theme of motherhood sounded in a completely new way, glorifying the deepest and most sincere human feelings.
She found the most striking artistic embodiment in the work of the artist K.S. Petrov-Vodkin (1878-1939). After the October Revolution, Petrov-Vodkin strives to realize the new relationship between man and the world. He embodied his understanding of the ongoing historical events in the famous “Petrograd Madonna”.
A young woman with a child in her arms is depicted against the background of revolutionary Petrograd, where a new era of human history began. Passers-by hurry somewhere, someone stops at the walls of buildings. But all this is just a temporary background for the main image of a woman-mother.
It is no coincidence that she turned her back on the city. Her main concern is the care of the child, of his present and future.
On the desk"Motherland calls"
“Mother” This theme is interestingly embodied in the painting “Mother” by artist A.A. Deineka (1899-1969).
Her composition is surprisingly simple: Against a smooth background, a close-up of a woman with a sleeping child in her arms is depicted. In the guise of a mother, the majestic posture of Venetian peasant women is conveyed, tender quivering feelings for the baby clinging to her shoulder.
Contrasting the fragile body of the boy, washed out by sleep, with the strong and strong figure of the mother, the artist seeks to emphasize the inseparable spiritual connection between them, the readiness of the mother to protect the child.
This theme will sound in a new way in the works created during the Great Patriotic War.
Everyone knows Toidze's poster "The Motherland Calls". In the harsh years of military trials, a maternal call was made to defend the Motherland. It is impossible to get away from the direct open look of a woman-mother.
The gesture of the raised hand reminds many of the well-known image of Our Lady Organa, praying for the salvation of mankind.
Conclusion: At all times, the beauty of a woman was sung by artists. But it was the image of a woman-mother that was the ideal of female beauty.

The art of the High Renaissance, which was defined in its main features by the beginning of the 16th century, will bring a different understanding of female beauty than that of previous artists. The titans of the High Renaissance: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian - strive to create a generalized image of a perfect person, beautiful both physically and spiritually. The Annunciation by Leonardo da Vinci
Numerous drawings by Leonardo da Vinci testify to how much he was attracted by the theme of a beautiful young mother with a child. He depicted women with faces, sometimes serious, sometimes smiling, in poses expressing tenderness, with a look full of quivering feelings and quiet tranquility, and lovely babies busy playing and having fun. Saint Anne with Mary and Child
"Madonna Litta" by Leonardo da Vinci is the pearl of the Hermitage collection. The painting depicts a young Mary, carefully holding a baby in her arms. Her bowed profile is full of exceptional beauty and nobility. Lowered eyes and a barely noticeable smile give the Madonna an unusual expressiveness and warmth, illuminate her with a bright maternal feeling. In this wonderful picture, the artist managed to convey his idea of happiness, purely earthly joy.
One of the greatest creations of world art was Raphael's painting "The Sistine Madonna" (), which ingeniously embodied the idea of motherhood, an earthly, realistic image of a woman mother. She just took a barely noticeable step towards people. Her movement is calm and majestic. It seems that she does not walk, but soars in the clouds, and there is nothing hurried and deliberate in her movement. She slightly attracts the baby to her, as if afraid to part with him, and at the same time holds him out to people. In this contradictory gesture of the mother, we feel the deep tragedy of what is happening.
Madonna's eyes look trustingly and openly. Light, enlightened sadness colors her divine features. Yes, she perfectly understands what severe and difficult trials of life are in store for her son. The baby clings to his mother, he looks a little surprised and frightened at the world spreading out in front of him. What lies ahead for him? In the childish spontaneity and purity of sight - a premonition of future suffering .. Raphael's "Sistine Madonna"
The exceptional charm of this painting by Raphael lies in the natural combination of simplicity and solemnity, tender femininity and regal grandeur. In it, the human rises to the divine, and the divine becomes earthly. Raphael "Sistine Madonna"
Michelangelo Buonarroti "Madonna Doni" The figure of Mary, Joseph and the baby Christ form a helical group, introducing a strong charge of plastic energy into the compositional whole. The painting is often called "Tondo Doni" because, firstly, it belonged to the Doni family in Florence, and secondly, it has a round shape (in English "tondo"). According to the generally accepted hypothesis, the painting was executed for the wedding of Agnolo Doni with Maddalena Strozzi, whose coat of arms is carved on the frame.
Parts of the polyptych were separated as early as the 17th century. Giorgio Vasari left us information about the location of the details of the polyptych, many parts of which are now lost. “In the church of Carmine in Pisa, on a board located in one of the chapels of the transept, he wrote the Virgin and Child, while at her feet there are several playing angels, one of which, playing the lute, carefully listens to the harmony of sounds. Around the Mother of God - St. Peter, St. John the Baptist, St. Julian and St. Nicholas - figures full of movement and life. Masaccio "Madonna and Child"
Botticelli "Madonna Magnificat" Skillfully inscribed in a circle, the composition is one of the most remarkable creations of the master. The refined lines of the hands surrounding the figure of the infant Christ are closed on the crown of Mary. The ring of hands is like a kind of whirlpool, in the center of which a distant peaceful landscape is visible. Christ holds a fruit in his hand - a symbol of immortality, which he will bring to mankind.
Botticelli's Madonna Magnificat The face of Botticelli's Madonna Magnificat is the ideal of beauty. Thin light skin, graceful structure of the face. The expression of purity is complemented by a touch of tenderness, showing through the rounded lips. Braided hair gives an earthy impression, reminiscent of the appearance of a peasant girl, but fashionable items of clothing - a scarf and a transparent coverlet - transform the model into the ideal image of the Madonna.
The painting is named after the first word of the prayer of the Mother of God, the text of which is clearly visible on the spread of the open book. The Christ Child holds a pomegranate in one hand, and the other leads the hand of the Madonna, who inscribes the beginning of the thanksgiving song in the open book (Heb. Luke, I, 46). Two boys, accompanied by an older third, hold a book and an inkwell, while two angels raise a crown over the head of the Madonna. Botticelli "Madonna Magnificat"
