The Russian landscape painting remains quite unknown in Western Europe and America, especially if compared with another pictorial movements like the Barbizon School in France (which have an important influence in the Russian landscape painting) or the Hudson River School in the USA. However, 19th century Russian painters introduced a very special, emotional style into the landscape genre. In theartwolf.com we have created this small gallery of images and commentaries to know a little more about these interesting painters.
