Levitan Isaak (Lithuania, 1860-1900)

Isaac Levitan remains a key figure in the school of Russian landscape painting and his sensitivity to the natural world and his lyrical interpretations earned him the unique title of the painter of the “landscape of mood.” He rarely painted urban landscapes, focusing more on the countryside outside Moscow. Largley devoid of human presence, as the present work attests, Levitan focused on the atmospheric effects of light and his color palette could reflect the mood of melancholic reverie.
