Isaac Levitan - master of landscape painting

Today, the attention of students of V.E. Tatlin Secondary School No. 1 in Penza was presented with the author's program of the director of the Russian Museum V.A. Gusev, dedicated to the life and work of the artist Isaac Levitan. 


Levitan devoted his whole life to painting the main portrait – a portrait of Russian nature, creating many landscapes in different parts of his homeland. Many people note that his works are quite sad and melancholic in mood and color scheme, undoubtedly, the character of the painter cannot but affect here. Levitan's biography also cannot be called simple. However, it is enough to look at his works to see that they are all filled with great love for the Motherland. In his work, the artist sought to show every inhabitant of the Russian Empire, be it the intelligentsia or the common people, in what a wonderful place they were lucky to be born and live. For Levitan, nature has always remained a boundless source of inspiration.


Levitan is a new look at Russian nature, a piercing and trembling look. Levitan was fascinated by nature at any time of the year, they were for him a change of her clothes, not changing, in essence, her face, but at the same time in new lighting, in new decorations emphasizing certain of her features. The artist has very few winter landscapes, a little more — summer, much more - spring. But the obvious superiority in this list is held by autumn, which appears in Levitan in a variety of images.
