/ from the series "Russian Impressionism" /

The great Russian artist Konstantin Alekseevich Korovin (1861 -1939) left the brightest mark in the history of Russian art, as a representative (even the founder) of Russian impressionism.
From the artist's diaries - "I firmly declare that I am writing not for myself, but for everyone who knows how to enjoy the sun, the infinitely diverse world of colors, forms, who never ceases to be amazed at the ever-changing play of light and shadow ..."
Russian impressionism is a conventional name for the works of Russian painters of the late XIX - early XX centuries, which influenced the influence of the work of the French impressionists
