Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin (1832 – 1898)

Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin was born on the 25 of January, 1832. He was a Russian landscape painter closely associated with the Peredvizhniki movement.

Shishkin was born in the town of Elabuga of Vyatka Governorate (today Republic of Tatarstan) in the family of a local merchant. His father was also an archaelogist, a historian and an engineer, too. He was an author of “History of Elabuga”. His father was the only among the close people who supported his son Ivan to become an artist.

Ivan Shishkin graduated from Kazan gymnasia. He then studied at Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture for 4 years, after that attended Saint Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts from 1856 to 1860, graduating with the highest honors and a gold medal. He received the Imperial scholarship for his further studies in Europe. Five years later Shishkin became a member of the Imperial Academy in St. Petersburg and was a professor of painting from 1873 to 1898. At the same time, Shishkin headed the landscape painting class at the Higher Art School in St. Petersburg.

For some time, Shishkin lived and worked in Switzerland and Germany on scholarship from the St. Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts. On his return to Saint Petersburg, he became a member of the Circle of the Itinerants and of the Society of Russian Watercolorists. He also took part in exhibitions at the Academy of Arts, the All Russian Exhibition in Moscow (1882), the Nizhniy Novgorod (1896), and the World Fairs (Paris, 1867 and 1878, and Vienna, 1873). Shishkin's painting method was based on analytical studies of nature. He became famous for his forest landscapes, and was also an outstanding draftsman and a printmaker.

Ivan Shishkin owned a dacha in Vyra, south of St. Petersburg. There he painted some of his finest landscapes. His works are notable for poetic depiction of seasons in the woods, wild nature, animals and birds. Among the most well-known pictures painted by Shishkin are “Morning in a Pine Forest”, “A Rye Field”, “Rain in an Oak Forest”, “Midnight. At Moskva suburbs”, “The golden autumn” and others.

Looking at his pictures we can understand his deep love to Motherland – Russia. Sunny yellow, bright green are main colours in his pictures. Even being abroad Shishkin was missing his native land and always returned with great pleasure.

 He died in 1898, in St. Petersburg, Russia, while working on his new painting.
