Abstract
The paper deals with Ivan Shishkin’s Morning in a pine forest and some other well-known Russian animalistic canvases. It suggests a list of reasons why Shishkin’s picture became so popular and beloved by almost each citizen of Russia. This article reveals obscure circumstances of the painting creation. The author is attracted both with the painting itself and its later reviews composed throughout from Shishkin’s lifetime to the present. Russian animalist art of the 1850–1900 is treated there in context of actually creative competition among animalist painters.
