Russian painters

I have admired many Russian painters and I find many of their paintings are very connected to the land they lived on. Ivan Shishkin and Isaak Levitan are pretty much household name for the landscape painters today, but there are many more whose work are just as moving and powerful.

REPINART does a good job posting many Russian paintings.


Some names:
