- Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoi (1837-1887) was a Russian painter and art critic. He was an intellectual leader of the Russian democratic art movement in 1860-1880.
Kramskoi came from an impoverished petit-bourgeois family. From 1857 to 1863 he studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts; he reacted against academic art and was an initiator of the "revolt of fourteen" which ended with the expulsion from the Academy of a group of its graduates, who organized the Artel of Artists ("Артель художников").
Influenced by the ideas of the Russian revolutionary democrats, Kramskoi asserted the high public duty of the artist, principles of realism, and the moral substance and nationality of art. He became one of the main founders and ideologists of the Company of Itinerant Art Exhibitions (or Peredvizhniki). In 1863-1868 he taught at the drawing school of a society for the promotion of applied arts. He created a gallery of portraits of important Russian writers, scientists, artists and public figures (Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy, 1873, Ivan Shishkin, 1873, Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov, 1876, Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, 1879, Sergei Botkin, 1880) in which expressive simplicity of composition and clarity of depiction emphasize profound psychological elements of character. Kramskoi's democratic ideals found their brightest expression in his portraits of peasants, which portrayed a wealth of character-details in representatives of the common people.
In one of Kramskoi’s most well-known paintings, Christ in the Desert (1872, Tretyakov gallery), he continued Alexander Ivanov's humanistic tradition by treating a religious subject in moral-philosophical terms. He imbued his image of Christ with dramatic experiences in a deeply psychological and vital interpretation, evoking the idea of his heroic self-sacrifice.
Aspiring to expand the ideological expressiveness of his images, Kramskoi created art that existed on the cusp of portraiture and genre-painting ("Nekrasov during the period of 'Last songs,'" 1877-78; "Unknown Woman," 1883; "Inconsolable grief," 1884; all in Tretyakov gallery). These paintings disclose their subjects' complex and sincere emotions, their personalities and fates. The orientation of Kramskoi’s art, his acute critical judgments about it, and his persistent quest for objective public criteria for the evaluation of art exerted an essential influence on the development of realist art and aesthetics in Russia in the last third of the nineteenth century.

well done! thank you for uploading
Sit rep. This channel is in my top 5 go-to channels. The creator has essentially turned my house into a 55-inch art gallery. Music would be nice but I personally run another page with my favorites anyway. Glenn, you are a genius, sir. This channel is awesome.
A great master indeed. Thank you for sharing.
Great work again with so much feeling in the portraits. I want to meet the man. Thank you

The artist is new to me. But great work. Thanks for uploading.
I like this one too. I just wish I had been able to get more really high resolution images for him. I have used some of the slightly lower resolution ones towards the end of this video, just because I think they are worth seeing. In the future if I can better quality images of this artists work I will upload an updated version of this video. I will do that for any of the videos uploaded so far as I manage to get hold of more and better images.
Thank you so much lor your message and support. It means a lot to me.
Oh and hello from a beautifully hot and sunny Good Friday afternoon here in England. Glenn
Thanks Glenn, greetings from a hot and sunny Kolkata , India to you too. Great work keep it up.
Kramskoy was just a few years older than Ilya Repin, who considered him as his master. Before entering the Imperial Academy he spent a year at Kramskoy´s preparatory academy. Kramskoy had been expelled because of the rebellion against the Academy some years before. Repin would achieve success within the Academy and its annual competitions. Later, from 1776 as a free artist and member of the Itinerants. For a detailed analysis on Repin:
