One of the most famous paintings of the great Russian painter Vasily Grigorevicha Perov's "Troika" for over one and a half centuries dominates the minds and hearts of the people. The artist managed to skillfully convey the domestic scene from the life of the poor. Despite the abolition of serfdom, their existence easier. That though as-that to survive we had to work hard even for small children.
The main characters in the movie are three children, like three horses harnessed to a heavy sledge. Twilight, the cold, icy wind. In this weather the men of the house don't show your face, and the dog over the threshold will not drive. But these poor, emaciated heavy work, children have to drag the river with huge, ledenes the cold barrel of water. From the intense cold not save any torn clothes or heavy physical labor.
On thin, translucent from hunger and hardship face the only girls frozen flour and with her mask of indifference and resignation. The youngest in this team left the boy absolutely exhausted. His hand hung limply, head bowed helplessly to the side. As if life is slipping away from him, why the picture looks even more tragic.
The older boy tries to take on a greater burden, facilitating the work of others. Despite the pain, fatigue, and freezing cold he's trying all kind to give them at least a little effort. Its childish, full of suffering look makes the viewer even more appalled by the inhumane treatment of even young children in those not so distant times.
Three children's face and the icy white ice huge barrel remain the only bright spots on the painting, written mostly in dark grey, black and brown tones. Barely visible in the background the rooftops of high, indifferent to human sorrow high monastic wall only emphasize the emptiness of the street and mood of tragic doom to be transferred by the author of the picture.
Figure only two adults seems bleak. One of them is trying to help the little unfortunates shoulder pushing a heavy cart. The other hurries to hide in the twilight, like he doesn't care about human suffering. And only a faithful dog never leave their masters, staying next to them in sorrow and hardship.
His bold and provocative for that time the work of Vasily Perov, not only did all bestenliste the provisions of the poor and disadvantaged who are forced from a very young age for a pittance to work hard from early morning until late evening. He denounced the indifference of the rich and having the power, who shamelessly uses child labour, even more due to it being enriched. Today this painting leads the viewer to compassion and desire to help the disadvantaged and the anger at the injustice.
