Painting "Hunting" for fans of animalism

Hunting is a serious occupation. It requires from the person endurance, wit, courage, if it is a large animal, and skill. However, the Russian person even makes funny stories about her. The geologist went to the tundra with the Chukchi to bear. Chukchi found a den, stuck a pole in it and turned it well. Enraged and embittered bear went directly to the hunters. Chukchi shouted to the companion: "Run faster." They rushed, and the bear behind them. The geologist came to his senses and thinks: "I have a gun." Turned around and killed the bear. Chukcha sounds like and says: "You are a good hunter, but stupid. Until the parking lot, how are we going to drag it now? " This literary, comic picture - "Hunting". And how many they were written by animalists!

The real picture: hunting

The bear is hunted in winter and autumn. These are two different ways. When the winter passes over to the second half, hunters with Laika look for his den and stand close to the exit from the den. Then the dogs bark out the lair, forcing the bear to stand up. If the beast does not rise, then one of the hunters puts a long pole in it. To the bear at the exit did not show swiftness, then at its ends left branches.

This is how the winter picture looks. The hunt for a potapicha in the fall, in early September, happens differently. At sunset he likes to feed regularly in oat fields. Several hackneyed huskies, having discovered the prey, stop it before the hunter approaches. The hunter leaves and shoots the bear under the shoulder blade, in the chest or in the ear. In the forehead, it is not recommended to shoot, as the bullet can rebound by ricocheting.

This is a brief description of the autumn picture. Hunting is an exciting activity, which then causes a lot of stories, as each case is unique.

How the hunt for a bear is reflected in animalists

Once in Europe, bears were born. Paul de Vos painted the picture "Hunting for bears." A swarm of brutalized dogs attacked prey from all sides. But bears do not give up. They struggle for life with all their strength. In the foreground lie dead or mutilated dogs. However, the rest does not hold it. They attack the bears violently, trying to cling to the withers or to the throat.

Russian animal artists

Before you modern work. This is the picture "Hunting for a bear". The author is Sergey Volkov. Laika threw out a furious bear from the den. A powerful beast is four times as big as a dog, but it is not afraid of it. Full of excitement, proudly raising his tail, the dog is confronted by a mighty adversary. One stroke of his wide paw - and the dog will come to an end. But the husk is a clever and brisk creature. It's not easy to fool her. She will dodge the enemy and lead directly to the shelter, where he is waiting for the hunter.

Another picture of "Hunting for a bear" was made by a woman, she was written by T. Danchurova. Here there are two dogs. Laiki with fury bark the bear and force him to go in a certain direction. They drive him directly to the hunter, who is not shown here, and try not to fall under his powerful paws.

Traditional Russian Hunting

Painting "Hunting for a bear in winter", author - S. G. Perov (1879). Hunting takes place in the suburbs of Moscow in Kuzminki, in the southeast. Now it is a large Moscow district, where about 18 thousand people live, and part of the Kuzminsky forest park is located in it .

At the time of V. Perov there was, apparently, a dull forest. To have been written this painting, the artist is far away and did not need to go. Its full name indicates the proximity of the town from Moscow. It is called "Kuzminki near Moscow. Hunting for a bear in the winter. " Now it is even difficult to imagine that next to the ancient capital one could meet bears. Kuzminki in those days were a deaf bearish corner. Then this forest was famous for its abundance of game and fish. At night, the hunters stopped at the Golitsyn estate. They rented rooms to summer residents, businessmen or cultural figures. There was V. Perov.

What is pictured in the picture

Dark early twilight, all clouded by the haze. The terrain is gloomy, deserted. In the background, centuries-old snow-capped tree trunks. The dog found a den. She stopped beside her, her tail between her legs, which means she feels danger. Two hunters are nearby. One holds a gun at the ready. He stands a few steps from the den. There is an assumption that this is a self-portrait of V. Perov.

A spear is prepared nearby. The second stick tries to stir the sleeping beast and force it out. One can only imagine the rage of the awakened bear. This feeling is well conveyed on the canvas.

Hunters are experienced people. They are ready for his attack. Painting "Hunting for a bear in the winter" was written for the magazine "Nature and Hunting" LP. Sabaneyeva. It is included in the hunting cycle of genre paintings by V. Perov. The canvas is rarely exhibited.
