Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin - Paintings

Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin, who, like his painter colleague Ivan Nikolayevich Kramskoj, was involved in the founding of the Peredwishni: “Society for the Organization of Travelling Exhibitions”, was an important Russian landscape painter and lithographer of Naturalism.
Born: 25 January 1831 in Yelabuga
Died: 20 March 1898 in Saint Petersburg
Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin receives a very comprehensive art education, which relates to several trips and study stays in Europe. At the age of 21, he attends the Moscow School of Art and is subsequently trained by the romantic landscape painter Maxim Nikiforovich Vorobyov at the St. Petersburg Academy. This is followed by study trips to Munich, Zurich, Geneva and Düsseldorf. Among his teachers are well-known names such as the brothers of the German Adam family, who have specialized in animal depictions and battle scenes, but also the Swiss painter Rudolf Koller. In the 1860s, he travels to his home country before he founds the Society for the Organization of Travelling Exhibitions together with Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoj in 1870. Just like Kramskoj, Shishkin also paints in muted colors. The painter has a predilection for forests which he can show in a realistic way. He is awarded a professorship at the Moscow School of Art at the age of fifty-two. Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin participates in three world exhibitions with three works and has thus also become known as a naturalistic landscape painter beyond the borders of Russia.
