Batali, ancient history and fairy tale scenes
Survived many years of training and subsequent drawings, as well as several paintings showing thoroughly proficient academic school (naturalistically accurate horse models and replicas, dynamic battle scenes and war household composition and separate motives sketches where academic detailing connection with structural drawing qualities).Image heroizācija official patriotism influenced Batali composition sketches manifested weak (\"Turkish prisoners\", around 1890, the Latvian National Museum of Art, hereinafter - LNMA), which can be explained by the trend of larger Alder teacher Batali domestic genre scenes and the same focus on realism aesthetics (Rosenthal \" ..pašas life and nature observation had given him a lover of pleasure. \").Realist concept of military art and the artist\'s numerous ancient history (including Latvian) devoted to drawings consisted of the event and the image of the daily aspect emphasis.Frequent focus on ancient history and daily life associated with Alder focus on national themes according to the \"Gnome\" program, which he participated in the formation (\"Ancient Latvian battle with knights\", \"The pot\", both around 1890 LNMA).Figural scenes were handled as for role narration, otherwise dramatic (\"troubled times\", around 1890 LNMA), other times humorous (\"Two soldiers at the table\", around 1890 LNMA).Playful everyday komisma spirit was interpreted and folkloric scenes with gnome and especially devil characters (\"Rush\", the mid-90s of the 19th century, LNMA).
Realism consistency of his time living scenes
Content determination in Alder realism found in many drawings and watercolors, which recorded the works of Latvian country and the Environment (scenes with Araji, firewood cutter, potato diggers, etc.).In these works, the social aspect coincided with the general orientation of national Alder topics under the \"Gnome\" program, which he participated in the formation (\"On the job\", 1896 LNMA).Sometimes laborers got a representative depiction festive tone or on the contrary - rural people and their Environment were recorded with ethnographic objectivity (watercolors Riga Latvian Society album, 1896 LNMA).
Novācijas painting
Villevaldes workshop methods were less challenging newer painterly technique mastering.They, like other Novācijas, Alksnis got to know not only outside the Academy of St. Petersburg, but also in the literature of Western art (read R.Mutera enthusiastically \"19th century painting history\" and, presumably, art periodicals).G.Šķilters called him \"Scribe and more than theorists as a producer.\"Apparently Alksnis was known idea of impressionism, symbolism and even Art Nouveau.Compared with apparent learning works and stingy dark colors painted \"Portrait of the artist\'s father\" (around 1890 LNMA) other studijveidīgos watercolor and oil paintings he used a more vigorous and variētākus chromatic color tones, separate stroke technique.Plenēristiskais \'Officer Portrait\' (beginning of the 90s of the 19th century, LNMA) is considered one of the first in terms of type of impressionist paintings of Latvian art history.
