@Nallah108. Hello Nallah. I had never heard of this man. I sat through every painting. Some of them looked like photographs. I preferred the impressionistic ones, the simple ones, the ones with stark contrasts. They were all beautiful. What a treat to have discovered this artist! Cheers
I too am a painter who has watched his time slip away. This painter perceives an enormous volume of space. His color comprehension is a joy to behold. I am also 82, 11/9/41. God be with you.
Слава Богу,Вам хоть в серъёзном возрасте удалось ув деть щедевры наших величайших мастеров. А вот тот железный занавес,ко орый был во времена холодной войны нам не закрывал культуры и искусствса ваших великих мастеров.❤
I am a lifelong art lover, yet for some reason I had not heard of Isaac Levitan until I saw this video, and now I want to say, I think he may now be one of my all time favourite artists, just incredible work, stunning!. Thanks for posting this video!!!
Me too, really surprised to find on youtube not so many videos on his great works. We learnt about him, admiring his famous landscape paintings through their printed copies available in Việt Nam more than half century ago.
Yes he whispers to you "this, this detail, is why l was transfixed upon this spot. This time - place - season, begot this unique freezing of time, join me forever across the gulf of passing time" A man of passion.
This man is a true artist's artist. Not one brushstroke is a compromise to taste or convention. What remains is a powerful body of work dedicated to Leviton's singular vision and love of the Russian landscape. Only the truly gifted can leave the world such a gift as these paintings.
Левитан, абсолютно достоверно передавал любые тончайшие нюансы состояния природы. Его картины одушевленные, в них проваливаешься и сливаешься с той атмосферой, дышишь тем воздухом, улавливая , то аромат полевых цветов, то запах озерной воды или весеннего снега....
@@veronica_._._._думаю здесь как раз наоборот, мы все росли на этом, все это видели и, смотря на его картины, мы вспоминаем это ощущение природы, этот ветер перед грозой, этот запах нагретой осенним солнцем травы и хруст снега под ногами.
I agree And when Art resonates within ones soul it vibrates to the individuals higher consciousness opening the heart and healing pathways to the Higher Power/ God within energizing, restoring the Tabernacle you might say, or maybe even covenant.
I have never seen Levitan's paintings before today. I'm stunned at the quality,and,superb "mood" of his work. Thank you for adding this wonderful video.
Yes, and the theme music helps convey that sense of mood: the raw beauty of his landscapes juxtaposed with a sense of true hardship for the human inhabitants of those areas.
To have the presence of mind to clearly paint Aston share how you (Artist) really feel about what you’ve chosen to work on and what that moment felt like when you began the work. I agree....MOODY in the best sense of the word
Какая же вам огромная благодарность за канал!!! Такой объем работ художника дает возможность охватить творчество мастера почти полностью!!!! СПАСИБО!!!
I was a fan of Levitan since a child when I was in China. His “Eternal Peace” is eternal by itself. It’s all so encompassing of any shape and form. Spiritually uplifting. His off-grid half-tone collects an enormous amount of sophistication, hard work and thinking.
I've been an artist all my life and I'm 66 now. Well, for most of my life I've identified as an abstract artist. But you know, I have to say, I just love painting, and I love the work of Isaak Levitan! And many other realist painters. I can't say I love the work of all realist painters. But I don't love the work of all abstract painters either. Usually I can find the wonderfulness in any painter who obviously loves to paint as much as Isaak Levitan did. The joy of painting just shines from every painting so strongly - what a wonderful legacy he left :)
First off, God love ya for honoring your soul through paint. Second, for your achievement of scratching below the surface to find the "states of being," beyond. You say it all in "the joy of painting" (with the ersatz peeled away). Like love, art is not a thing; it's a process
Could not agree with you more. We do not honour our Artists as we ought......at the very least assuring they make a 'living' . Con Artists abound but a 'real' Artist loves what he or she does and very often it shows in their work.I remember seeing a Van Gogh and being moved to tears. The energy was palpable. To paraphrase Harry Chapin: Here is a toast to the thousand young artists who failed because they tried.
Newly discovered artist for me too. I've never seen such mastery. I've had my brushes put up for a while now. After seeing these works, I've had a rare surge of inspiration. Enough so to make me want to take the time to get painting again. Thank you for this incredible video!
thank you brother , this video is the most comprehensive of Isaac Levitans works on the internet , Levitan deserves better recognition in the western world like Ilya Repin
The perfection of light, the magnificent skies, the perfect trees with bark so real you could reach out and touch it. I'm a landscape painter, and this artist is a Master landscape painter. His still life of a bunch of dandelions in flower, and in puffballs of seed heads! It is simple in subject, yet his execution is beyond belief. 😍
If ever there was a painter's painter, it's this man. Nothing but dedication and honesty in every single canvas. The beauty of Leviton's painting is how understated the work is. The more each painting is studied and contemplated, the more his unique greatness is revealed.
This masterly arrangement of masterpieces of Isaac Levitan shoving the great variety paintings ,reflecting great Russian vestness and beauty. Levitan by using many different stiles and techniques was able to show truly real Russian landscapes. And through them the difficult times of Russian history .
I'm completely flabbergasted! I have never seen such beautiful work. I have been ignorant and now my eyes are open. What a master and lover of nature. Thank you for revealing this amazing artist!
I have been missing out on these incredible works. Outstanding, a blessing. Making my holidays brighter. His light and skies are so inspiring. Thank you.
What a charming discovery. Like all great landscape artists, he depicted not only the things but the sensations and feelings put forth by Nature. I'm saving these images for relief from anger and bitterness that present day matters seem to thrive on.
@@tinipants2 Thanks, Jack Saltzberg, When I was young, I was encouraged to develop my drawing and painting but high school jobs had to pay for other things. It's a horrible rerkoning to know one has talent and have to let it go undeveloped because of "reality." So all the more I admire those painters who clung fast to their abilities and talents and produced works for thousands to draw upon for spiritual comfort. I sense you may have a similar story. God bless us all!
I understand how you feel. I've always drawn and sketched. When my children were small I took courses in art. I fell so deeply into my paintings, that I suddenly realized it was taking time away from my children, who only had me. So I set aside painting until my children were mostly grown. Then I began again. I'm now retired and I oil paint. Many of Issac Levitan's paintings make me feel like weeping, they seem so tenderly done. Maybe it's from melancholy because the vastness of nature will never again exist the way he saw it.
I was in town Plyos, where he lived and worked, also I saw his works in Russky museum in Saint Petersburg, also in Tretyakovskaya in Moscow. He is no doubts my favorite Russian artist! Absolutely gorgeous!
Through the paintings of Isaac Levitan we see the wounded soul of the poet by Russian nature. Each of his paintings is a state of his soul. On the one hand they are Sunny bright and warm. The artist is happy. At the same time, he wants to prolong his state of mind. In these pictures, he finds peace and quiet. In these paintings, Isaac Levitan finds refuge. But here comes a new state of sadness and the pictures immediately change in color and shape. Thank you !
How am I just finding this art, in the middle of Covid-19, aged 63? Unbelievable brilliance! Some of these pictures I can stare into, and I'm right there; my gaze can wander from fore to distant, and it is like being there. So many of thee paintings seem to have a very specific time of day, or temperature and humidity, season, and so on. I guess Levitan is well known, and I'm really happy I found this.
i wish i could have said it as well as you did youtube lets me sit with a cup of coffee and e njoy the world i am so spoiled. i like museums but this is better ola from austin texas
John Martin ? I’m m sorry , my mistake . I was actually going over my wife’s family tree. It wasn’t Adolph as he didn’t get married either nor did he have any children as far as the family tree goes . They wee 5 children : Therese, Adolph, Emma and Issac being the youngest . My wife descends from the oldest sister Therese born in 1856 who married Pierre Birtchsnsky. They had seven children of which Arcadi, the penultimate son is my wife’s branch and one of the siblings that migrated to France during the Russian revolution with his kids and wife Katia with a few of Levitans paintings among their few personal belongings. Arcadi has two girls and one son : Pierre who is my wife’s grand father. I don’t know if I got you more confused with this info . Cheers !
What i love about outdoor paintings from way back is how the positioning of the cast shadows were captured from the sun's hour of positions. A dawn & dusk are completely different color schemes and true artist can capture it with great detail. The sun and moon have seen alot through life basically everything that has ever happen they've been there to witness it all.
Wonderful paintings!! It shows that a great work can be made of virtually any subject, no matter how humble or "ordinary", and that's a fine lesson for us all seeking that "grand view" in a landscape (although he has those too in this retrospective presentation). By his works, among other things, he appears to have been a student of the effects of water, its reflections, and its many and varied characteristics in a painting; and hence he mastered them all!!!
A new artist for me. I cannot think why he is not as well known as other European artists, he seems to have been well regarded in his time. His paintings have a lovely feel of veracity, you know this is what he saw and what he was interested. And his paintings record some lovely things I would not have known about otherwise. Goodness he was not scared by colour or the paint at all! The few portraits are stunning. But so is the whole body of work.
" there are heroes in the seaweed... there are children in the morning... they are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way forever.... while Suzanne holds the mirror " ( written by Leonard Cohen) May he, Levitan and all the Dearly Departed Rest In Peace. 🕊️
He was short lived, an "Itinerants" but was able to travel, support himself to whatever degree, express joy, love and appreciation as well as mirror what was, is and will ever be naturally free. At least, that's how I see it...and I thank him. ' floating free in song ' another great Suzanne... Vega... ✌️ Out 🕊️
Wow. Loved so many of these. Such observation and capture of fleeting light and dark conditions before colour phography. A real master - never heard of him before. Thank you!!
I love his work. He captures a different light and mood to each painting as you feel the atmosphere throughout each one. I was mesmerized by his brush string with an accuracy to each painterly affect.
Thank you for sharing it was such an awe inspiring journey of his growth and exploration as an artist.. what talent I am so inspired, and cried at some of the scenes so touching.. Thanks for sharing and for leaving a stone.. for his heart was open and heart full...xxxxx
Their is a Russian museum near where I live in Minneapolis Minnesota. Been there many times. Russian art stands on its own, and has a unique place in the world of human expression. They also have an ability to capture light that others don't possess. Just a wonderful video.
Truly a very accomplished painter. I've never heard of Levitan but can see he is an equal to Matisse, Monet, Turner and the early works of Van Gogh. A real master of his craft that is a joy to see. Thank you
Levitan was a poor Jewish artist who painted the soul of Russian landscape and died very young. I have seen many of his wonderful paintings and was honoured to leave a stone on his grave.
John Martin ...a stone on his grave.....yes.....a powerful ceremony.....I have just now seen his work for the first time...I am captivated by the volumes of space he has given us to wonder in.....
I just didn't understand why poor? He died young but for some reason this is a destiny of a lot of genius people. Can you say that Mozart was poor? He died 4 years younger than Levitan.
@@JohnMartin-ux2rm I know his story. His health was quite fragile , but as an artist he was doing very good. He was successful and famous artist *during his life* (which is not the case for a lot of famous artists).
Sublime… evocative. From tranquility to tears.. the landscapes and his style and palette in general bring bitter sweetness. Held suspended ‘tween the two.
Thank you for these lovely videos that calm the heart and mind as we struggle through yet another human challenge period. Like others, I'm new to Levitan and appreciating his work.
23:13 is my favorite so.far: but this is like spiralling chronologically down the spiral staircase of the Guggenheim on a skateboard. I look forward; but wanted to thank you for this beautiful site. Thank you so much
I am a Levitan virgin till today.Wow, what a conection he had ,the trees,the mountains his cloud filled skys.How come his name isnt up there with the greats.Astounding mastery.Beutiful.
Never heard of this guy and wow what a brilliant artist. And a MASTER of the color green which is one of the most difficult parts of landscape painting. Thanks for this. Inspiring

I had exactly the same experience about a week ago. He is certainly at the top of my list, although I am a little confused at the #Realism hashtag.
Same for me. Only 6 months ago. And he is masterful. The emotion he evokes sits on a razor’s edge of wonder and melancholy……
I love the brilliant detail 👍👍👍
The clouds are mostly beautiful
what I love about his paintings is that they're not about just 'pretty pictures' but really express the spirit of the places that he painted.
Yes he whispers to you "this, this detail, is why l was transfixed upon this spot. This time - place - season, begot this unique freezing of time, join me forever across the gulf of passing time"
A man of passion.
He never lied... A rare case of complete artistic integrity... I wish I met you, Isaac Ilyich...

Genius. No other landscape painter really compares in my humble opinion. I didn't know about him. That is tragic. Truely, deeply moving. Mind blowing.
i love landscape paintings devoid of human figures yet conveys such powerful feelings it transports your soul into it.
As well

Levitan was a poor Jewish artist who painted the soul of Russian landscape and died very young. I have seen many of his wonderful paintings and was honoured to leave a stone on his grave.
Wow! Sooo emotional. John Martin, Beautifully put. Isaac Levitan is definitely one for me to follow up on. Superb work.
John Martin ...a stone on his grave.....yes.....a powerful ceremony.....I have just now seen his work for the first time...I am captivated by the volumes of space he has given us to wonder in.....
I just didn't understand why poor? He died young but for some reason this is a destiny of a lot of genius people. Can you say that Mozart was poor? He died 4 years younger than Levitan.
Read about his life.@@musicamemore4173
@@JohnMartin-ux2rm I know his story. His health was quite fragile , but as an artist he was doing very good. He was successful and famous artist *during his life* (which is not the case for a lot of famous artists).
Sublime… evocative. From tranquility to tears.. the landscapes and his style and palette in general bring bitter sweetness. Held suspended ‘tween the two.
Над вечным покоем! В ней я весь,так сказал Левитан. Картина －размышление . Шедевр .
Magician and master of the light! Superb!
What a Beauty! Thank you for this with all my heart!
Thank you for these lovely videos that calm the heart and mind as we struggle through yet another human challenge period. Like others, I'm new to Levitan and appreciating his work.

It was overwhelming. Soo wonderful.
