Shishkin Ivan,
Óleo sobre lienzo montado sobre cartón

Museo Estatal de Arte Ruso. San Petersburgo
Ningún pintor ruso antes de Shishkin se dedicó a estudiar la naturaleza tan concienzudamente. En este estudio se pone de manifiesto el penetrante sentir de la naturaleza inherente al paisajista, así como la capacidad de retratarla con una precisión casi fotográfica y de encontrar belleza en lo más cotidiano, imperceptible a primera vista, creando una imagen completa y acabada.
