Levitan.
Isaac Ilych Levitan, the great Russian artist, was one of the first painters of the Russian scenery to reveal (отразить) its beauty. He is a real poet of the Russian countryside. Levitan developed the traditions of painters of the Russian realistic landscape school – Savrasov, Polenov, Serov and others.
Levitan is a very special sort of painter. There is something in his landscapes that reflects (передаёт) our own moods. He deeply felt what he wanted to depict (отражать, передавать), and his brush transferred his feelings to the canvas.
A master of landscape, he never introduced figures into it. Though if you look at “The Autumn Day in Sokolniki”, everything seems to bring out the loneliness (подчёркивать одиночество) of the figure in the centre: the trees losing their leaves, the remote, indifferent sky, the path going off the distance..
Levitan`s art was greatly influenced by his travels along the Volga. He chose Plyoss, a small provincial town on the Volga, for his place of residence and for a subject of many of his canvases. His paintings like “Evening”, “Golden Plyoss”, and “After the Rain” depict the scenery of the place. They are full of subtle feelings and tenderness, but there is no sentimentally in them; Levitan`s pictures are truly realistic.
In the closing years of his life Levian made several journeys abroad. He traveled to France, Italy and Germany where he painted many of his landscapes. Levitan was only 49 when he died in 1990.
Levitan`s influence over lyrical landscape painters can’t be overestimated (переоценить). His deep feeling for nature, love for his native land, his ability to reveal the poetry of the Russian countryside have won his paintings the love and gratitude of people.
