Isaac Levitan: A collection of 437 paintings (HD)

[@Nallah108]

I am a Painter and seeing these master works for the first time.I am deeply moved. They are pure adoration and compassion. I am eighty-two years old…

[@wendycrawford1792]

@Nallah108. Hello Nallah. I had never heard of this man. I sat through every painting. Some of them looked like photographs. I preferred the impressionistic ones, the simple ones, the ones with stark contrasts. They were all beautiful. What a treat to have discovered this artist! Cheers

[@zenbooter]

I too am a painter who has watched his time slip away. This painter perceives an enormous volume of space. His color comprehension is a joy to behold. I am also 82, 11/9/41. God be with you.

I am a lifelong art lover, yet for some reason I had not heard of Isaac Levitan until I saw this video, and now I want to say, I think he may now be one of my all time favourite artists, just incredible work, stunning!. Thanks for posting this video!!!

[@binhhoa3312]

Me too, really surprised to find on youtube not so many videos on his great works. We learnt about him, admiring his famous landscape paintings through their printed copies available in Việt Nam more than half century ago.

[@c.philipmckenzie]

I had exactly the same experience about a week ago. He is certainly at the top of my list, although I am a little confused at the #Realism hashtag.

[@rossmcintyre1710]

Same for me. Only 6 months ago. And he is masterful. The emotion he evokes sits on a razor’s edge of wonder and melancholy……

He never lied... A rare case of complete artistic integrity... I wish I met you, Isaac Ilyich...

[@ruthcompton4542]

This man is a true artist's artist. Not one brushstroke is a compromise to taste or convention. What remains is a powerful body of work dedicated to Leviton's singular vision and love of the Russian landscape. Only the truly gifted can leave the world such a gift as these paintings.

Левитан, абсолютно достоверно передавал любые тончайшие нюансы состояния природы. Его картины одушевленные, в них проваливаешься и сливаешься с той атмосферой, дышишь тем воздухом, улавливая , то аромат полевых цветов, то запах озерной воды или весеннего снега....

I have never seen Levitan's paintings before today. I'm stunned at the quality,and,superb "mood" of his work. Thank you for adding this wonderful video.

[@ronschlorff7089]

Yes, and the theme music helps convey that sense of mood: the raw beauty of his landscapes juxtaposed with a sense of true hardship for the human inhabitants of those areas.

[@steverundle8635]

To have the presence of mind to clearly paint Aston share how you (Artist) really feel about what you’ve chosen to work on and what that moment felt like when you began the work. I agree....MOODY in the best sense of the word

I was a fan of Levitan since a child when I was in China. His “Eternal Peace” is eternal by itself. It’s all so encompassing of any shape and form. Spiritually uplifting. His off-grid half-tone collects an enormous amount of sophistication, hard work and thinking.

I've been an artist all my life and I'm 66 now. Well, for most of my life I've identified as an abstract artist. But you know, I have to say, I just love painting, and I love the work of Isaak Levitan! And many other realist painters. I can't say I love the work of all realist painters. But I don't love the work of all abstract painters either. Usually I can find the wonderfulness in any painter who obviously loves to paint as much as Isaak Levitan did. The joy of painting just shines from every painting so strongly - what a wonderful legacy he left :)

[@NJHomeStaging]

Nicely said.

[@littleheath1666]

Agree 100%

[@jamesrobiscoe1174]

First off, God love ya for honoring your soul through paint. Second, for your achievement of scratching below the surface to find the "states of being," beyond. You say it all in "the joy of painting" (with the ersatz peeled away). Like love, art is not a thing; it's a process

[@xanbex8324]

Could not agree with you more. We do not honour our Artists as we ought......at the very least assuring they make a 'living' . Con Artists abound but a 'real' Artist loves what he or she does and very often it shows in their work.I remember seeing a Van Gogh and being moved to tears. The energy was palpable. To paraphrase Harry Chapin: Here is a toast to the thousand young artists who failed because they tried.

It wasn’t Adolph as he didn’t get married either nor did he have any children as far as the family tree goes . They wee 5 children : Therese, Adolph, Emma and Issac being the youngest . My wife descends from the oldest sister Therese born in 1856 who married Pierre Birtchsnsky. They had seven children of which Arcadi, the penultimate son is my wife’s branch and one of the siblings that migrated to France during the Russian revolution with his kids and wife Katia with a few of Levitans paintings among their few personal belongings. Arcadi has two girls and one son : Pierre who is my wife’s grand father. I don’t know if I got you more confused with this info . Cheers !

What a charming discovery. Like all great landscape artists, he depicted not only the things but the sensations and feelings put forth by Nature. I'm saving these images for relief from anger and bitterness that present day matters seem to thrive on.

It's a horrible rerkoning to know one has talent and have to let it go undeveloped because of "reality."

I understand how you feel. I've always drawn and sketched. When my children were small I took courses in art. I fell so deeply into my paintings, that I suddenly realized it was taking time away from my children, who only had me. So I set aside painting until my children were mostly grown. Then I began again. I'm now retired and I oil paint. Many of Issac Levitan's paintings make me feel like weeping, they seem so tenderly done. Maybe it's from melancholy because the vastness of nature will never again exist the way he saw it.

Levitan was a poor Jewish artist who painted the soul of Russian landscape and died very young. I have seen many of his wonderful paintings and was honoured to leave a stone on his grave.

Wonderful paintings!! It shows that a great work can be made of virtually any subject, no matter how humble or "ordinary", and that's a fine lesson for us all seeking that "grand view" in a landscape (although he has those too in this retrospective presentation). By his works, among other things, he appears to have been a student of the effects of water, its reflections, and its many and varied characteristics in a painting; and hence he mastered them all!!!

[@michaelcherkovsky6741]

Through the paintings of Isaac Levitan we see the wounded soul of the poet by Russian nature. Each of his paintings is a state of his soul. On the one hand they are Sunny bright and warm. The artist is happy. At the same time, he wants to prolong his state of mind. In these pictures, he finds peace and quiet. In these paintings, Isaac Levitan finds refuge. But here comes a new state of sadness and the pictures immediately change in color and shape. Thank you !

Goodness he was not scared by colour or the paint at all! The few portraits are stunning. But so is the whole body of work.
