Isaac Ilyitch Levitan

Isaac Ilyitch Levitan (1860 - 1900) was active/lived in Russian Federation.  Isaac Levitan is known for Landscape and waterscape painting-snowscenes.

Famous for his ability to capture and convey the ineffable charm of the Russian landscape, Isaak Levitan was born in 1860 in Vibarty, Lithuania.  Orphaned by the age of eighteen, Levitan became close friends with Anton Chekhov, spending many nights with the Russian author and his family.  Chekhov would later satirize his friend in his play The Seagull as the dilettante artist Ryabovsky.

Levitan attended the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture from 1873-1885.  While there, he studied under many famous names including Vasily Perov (1832-82), Alexei Savrasov (1830-97), and Vasily Perov (1844-1927).  The meeting of Alexei Savrasov proved to be prophetic for Levitan.  The Russian landscape master fired up the impressionable artist's imagination, encouraging him to work outside and study nature at first hand.  Savrasov also passed on to Levitan his admiration for the artists of the Barbizon School.
