Iosif Evstafevich Krachkovsky was born in 1854 and died in 1914. He is considered a "Russian" painter. Many of his paintings were made in Ukraine.

He certainly knew how to paint an expressive sky.

  1. It's always interesting to me to see some of the 'primative' tools depicted in the paintings. Like the level to assist the well in one of them today. I saw something similar in a construction video, guy was using a simple crane to hoist logs up and around his cabin.
