George Loring Brown is remembered for his “styled” landscapes and considered the most celebrated American painter living abroad in the 19th century.

Nicknamed “Claude” Brown for the French landscape painter, Claude Lorraine, whom he admired, Brown was born on February 2, 1814, in Boston.

Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi is celebrated as one of the most talented landscape painters of the 19th century.

Famous for his large, nearly empty landscapes, the artist was born on January 27, 1842, in Mariupol, Ukraine.

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