Isaac Levitan - Russian Master of Landscape Painting

Isaac Ilyich Levitan (Russian: Исаа́к Ильи́ч Левита́н; 1860 - 1900) was a master Russian painter known mostly for his remarkable and diverse landscapes. Isaac Levitan was born to a poor Jewish family in Kybartai, which was part of the Russian Empire at the time. Levitan and his family later relocated to Moscow, where #Levitan began his artistic studies. He enrolled in the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 1873. His brother Adolf had already been studying there for two years. One of Russia’s greatest landscape painters, Levitan walked the line between realist and symbolist painting. Levitan's teachers were the famous Alexei Savrasov, Vasily Perov and Vasily Polenov. Isaak Levitan, Savrasov’s favourite pupil and follower, called his teacher “the creator of the Russian landscape”, claiming that Savrasov’s art brought out the “lyrical quality of landscape painting”, being filled with “boundless love for his homeland”.

Breathtaking. Amazing to see his style and technique change, subtly. I wish each painting were dated. Really special.

Thank you very much for the amazing video with the paintings of I. Levitan. I myself am from Russia and I really like the landscapes of this artist, my compatriot, although he lived about one and a half hundred years ago. Very impressed with your videos and music too. Sincerely, Marina.

Russian artists are among the best in the world! ☦️

There is something about this...like it evokes those images as moments from a lost past (which they are), but dresses them with a certain mysterious charm.

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you, thank you.

I feel like I am right there. Truly amazing how he gives you everything you need in a single stare.

I listen to this soundtrack all the time when I paint.

I'm a fan of Landscapists. Love them all

A true Master this artist is deserving of his place in the history of art. I would be happy if I could paint 1/10th as good.

[@randalllake2785]

What a master Levitan was. Too much attention has been given to the impressionists. The 19th century Russian painters can knock the socks off their European contemporaries.

I agree - Levitan is my fav painter...Monet kind of leaves me feeling slightly emotionless and empty...whereas Levitan....his work conjures up feelings I can't really put into words...quite magical.

so nice garet work beautiul.

Wonderful oil painter. Never heard of him. His style changed over time, perhaps. It would be helpful to view the paintings in chronological order, but perhaps they were shown that way. Each painting invokes extra time looking at it and absorbing it. Levitan painted not only the scenery but expressed the mood within the scenery. Each painting is worthy of appreciation then @8:39 - the mountains, clouds, sky, buildings - you have got to be kidding me! Astounding.

Thank you for this vedio

[@zeepogo]

I look and wonder how was it possible for him to have such a body of extraordinary work in his 39 years of life.

[@georgefirk5531]

Magnificent paintings….

Thank you for this sanctuary channel. What is the painting of one lone house overlooking the river called?
