Estimate value
€ 4 000 – 6 000
Ivan Ivanovic Siskin is considered the most important Russian landscape painter of his time. Initially he studied in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The young artist found the academic landscape painting, which was also taught in Russia, unsatisfactory, so he concentrated on attentive study of nature in its various manifestations. At the same time he strives to give his landscape depictions a poetic, narrative character.
In 1862 Siskin traveled abroad: Berlin, Dresden, Munich were destinations in Germany. In 1864 Siskin went to Düsseldorf to study there. After Paris, Brussels and Antwerp, further stops on his European tour, he returned to his homeland in 1865.
His paintings, subsequently exhibited in Russia, brought the artist early fame. His painting style developed rapidly, he gradually abandoned depictions overloaded with details in favor of a freer and fresher-looking style of painting. Pavel Tretyakov, the greatest Russian art collector of his time, also became aware of him and acquired several of his works. In his mature works, Siskin was to succeed in an unsurpassed way in depicting the quintessence of the Russian landscape, infinite vastness and untouched beauty of nature, in his paintings. He increasingly included plein air painting in his work, paying special attention to the play of light and air effects. The motif of the forest interior offers him a welcome opportunity for this.
