Vladimir Egorovich Makovsky (1846 - 1920) is known as a genre painter, distinguished by his rare powers of observation and knowledge of the life of representatives of different classes and social strata, from high dignitaries to regulars of flea markets, taverns, and inhabitants of doss houses. His compositions are live scenes, noticed by the artist in reality. The ability to find the nerve in the relationship of the characters, to give the quintessence of the situation makes the paintings of Vladimir Makovsky especially memorable. These are ready-made theatrical mise en scenes, and the characters depicted in the paintings sometimes have grotesque expressiveness and, like talented actors, perfectly play their dramatic or comic roles. Their facial expressions are very expressive, poses are characteristic, gestures are convincing.
The artist often turned to a two-figure composition of a small format, which made it possible to focus on the relationships of the characters, who seem to be engaged in a lively dialogue in front of the viewer, who is watching the scene being played out with interest.
The work "In the Tavern" was written during the artist's maturity and is typical of Makovsky's work, both in terms of the chosen plot and its execution. The mise-en-scene is played out accurately and convincingly, the "scenery" is organic to the chosen plot. Types and characters are shown so expressively that it seems that we know these people, met them in real life. A bold brushstroke, a rich pictorial texture give the scene even more liveliness and character.
In 1887, the painting was shown at the XV Itineart Exhibition and was named "among the best decorations" of this exposition.
Rus: Владимир Маковский часто обращался к двухфигурной композиции небольшого формата, что позволяло сосредоточиться на взаимоотношениях персонажей, которые как будто ведут живой диалог на глазах у зрителя, с интересом наблюдающего разыгрываемую сценку.
Работа "В трактире" написана в период зрелости художника и является типичной для творчества Маковского, как по выбранному сюжету, так и его исполнению. Мизансцена разыграна точно и убедительно, «декорации» органичны выбранному сюжету. Типы и характеры показаны настолько выразительно, что, кажется, мы знаем этих людей, встречали их в реальной жизни. Смелый мазок, богатая живописная фактура придают сценке еще большую живость и характерность.
В 1887 году картина демонстрировалась на XV Передвижной выставке и была названа "в числе лучших украшений" этой экспозиции.
