http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/13453/lot/21/ Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin, 1832-1898 Woodland signed and dated '89' (lower left) oil on canvas 100 x 74 cm Footnotes Shishkin is a milepost in the development of Russian landscape painting, he is a whole school in one man. (Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoi, 1837-1887) Primarily interested in landscape and the countryside, Shishkins work is dominated by the themes of forests and fields that envisage nature on a grand scale. From early in his career Shishkin developed a great interest in painting from nature and whilst studying at the Academy frequently chose to leave, what he considered to be the artificial constraints of the studio, to paint en plein, in the outskirts of St. Petersburg and on Valaam Island in Lake Ladoga in the north. And in 1860 he graduated from the Academy with a gold medal awarded for two works produced on the island. It was in the open air, in the forests and countryside of Russia that he developed the clear, naturalistic, and monumental style that brought him critical acclaim Taking up his entitlement to a travel scholarship in 1862, he left for Europe, visiting Germany and Switzerland, but was constantly homesick for his beloved Russia and only felt comfortable in Prague whose people impressed him, and with whom he was happy to speak his native tongue. In Düsseldorf he caused a sensation with his skills as a draughtsman and recalled locals coming to ask him whether he was, that Russian, Shishkin, who did such marvellous drawings? Returning to Russia in 1865 he received the title of Academician and began attending meetings of the Artists Artel where he was warmly received and appreciated. A large and vital personality, Ilya Repin recalled the mighty Shishkin, with his huge draymans hands and coarse hard-worked fingers, and referring to the artist and his positive contribution to the group, likened him to an enormous green forest, who infected everyone with his health, jollity, good appetite and sincere Russian talk, a particularly apposite description for an artist who had spent the whole of his career exploring the nature of Russian woodland in its many moods and transient states, and whose work became lauded for its apparent ability to capture the essence of rural Russia and a pride in national identity. Shishkin very quickly became associated with the Peredvizhniki, who had seceded from the Academy only two years before his return. He formed a great friendship with Ivan Kramskoi, one of the groups founding fathers, who was to say of him: He simply amazes us with his knowledgeAnd when he has the landscape before him it is as if he is in his element; immediately he is bold and agile and does not need to think about how, or whyI think he is the only one among us who knows nature in a scholarly way . However, Kramskoi was also to express concern at Shishkins striving for fine-detail in his work, which he felt was a distraction. At the second exhibition of the Peredvizhniki of 1872/74, Shishkin exhibited Backwoods, the painting for which he was made a professor. During the 1880s the artist produced some of his most celebrated masterpieces, spending a considerable amount of time painting the thick forests on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. In the summer of 1889, (the year in which he completed Woodland, the offered work,) he visited the area around Petrozavodsk in Karelia, the densely forested region 190 miles north-east of St. Petersburg, and later travelled to Meri-Hovi, on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, and Pavlovsk. Painting en plein he completed On the Shore of the Gulf of Finland (Udrias Near Narva), The Pavlovsk Park: Autumn, and also drew The Seashore: Meri-Hovi, and Forest Bog. 1889 was also the year in which Shishkin painted his celebrated canvas Morning in a Pine Forest, first exhibited at the Peredvizhnik exhibitions of the same year, and now in the Tretyakov Gallery. It was undertaken at the suggestion of his fellow Wanderer Konstantin SC:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.ini
