1. In a greater sense, it was natural: the Russian artists of the time received their academic training in Western Europe and, on their return to Russia, proceeded to paint such portraits and genre scenes as were in demand at the time.
2. One of the first paintings depicting wintry Russian nature was by Nikifor Krylov. His contemporaries remarked on the gently captured winter light, the foggy view, and the feeling of frost.
3. The traditions of German and Dutch art were being especially visible in winter scenes – the same pictorial devices and a certain harshness of approach.
4. It’s interesting to note that most winter landscapes created by Savrasov, Levitan and Shishkin are marked by a kind of bottomless gloom.
5. Savrasov’s art is often far called lyrical, but his every painting bears a mark of loneliness, desolation, and sadness.
6. Perhaps that was the artist’s way of understanding beauty and subtle lyricism of Russian nature which their contemporaries had admired.
7. The art of Levitan also deeply affected the viewer’s soul. He was one of the first Russian artists to leave the confines of his studio and paint in the open air.
8. Levitan is a national artist, and his art simply does not exist outside the nature around Moscow and the Volga region.
9. Savrasov and Levitan were thought of as poetic artists, whereas Shishkin was often accused of having being too detached and photorealistic.
10. One of the most perceptive Russian critics, Benois, wrote about Shishkin’s excessive scientific precision of a copyist.
11. A truly fairy-tale likeness of Russian winter is found on the canvases of Yuly Klever.

13. At the turn of the 20th century, landscape art became extremely popular in Russia. New artists, were inspired by Impressionism, wanted to see and analyse the artistic material in new ways.
14. In the early years of the 20th century Igor Grabar was discovered one of the main motifs of his future works, hoarfrost, the sight that he would call the exquisite lace of the sky’s azure enamel.
