  • ISAAC LEVITAN: THE ACADEMIC OF LANDSCAPE PAINTING

    Responding to the lyrical and revealing charm of Russian nature and creating a special variant of the atmospheric landscape that carries the conditions of the human soul through muted light and melancholy colors, the Russian landscape painter, Isaac Levitan, is remembered as the master of landscape painting and founder of the “mood landscape” genre.

    One of the most influential figures in Russian painting of the 19th century, Levitan was born on August 30, 1860, in a shtetl of Kibarty, Augustów Governorate in Congress Poland, Russian Empire (present-day Lithuania).
