Chirping in the trees as they build their nests, the rooks are like nature's time clock for this village. Their arrival, watched for by the people of this village every year, signals a coming change in the weather.
The Rooks Have Come is considered by many critics to be the highest point in Savrasov-s artistic career. Using a common, even trivial, episode of birds returning home, and an extremely simple landscape, Savrasov managed to show very emotionally the transition of nature from winter to spring. It was a new type of lyrical landscape painting, called later by critics -the mood landscape-. The picture made his name famous.
