Fine Art Tuesday

 

Ivan Shishkin born 1832 in eastern Russia and died in 1898 in Russia.

There are very few artists where you can throw a dart at a random collection of their work and the dart will hit a masterpiece. Shishkin is one of those artists. You can randomly choose anything he painted and it will look great on any wall in your house. Peder Mork Monsted is likely to be the only other artist who approaches Shishkin in this regard.

  1. Delightful. I wonder how successfully Russia might have evolved if WWI hadn't ruined everything.
