compared to the extensive information about American artists.
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 (showing 500 of 2792 characters). |
