Great collection 👍🏻. For me personally the Peredvizhniki movement is simply the greatest art movement since the Baroque era and the Dutch Golden Age. There's so much drama, sophisticated technique, painstaking detail and brilliant use of lightning derived from the works of the old masters like Caravaggio and Rembrandt, that it just inspires you to carry forward their torch. Sadly after this movement, everything got vitiated by the influx of "modern" art.
It's almost impossible to choose, but my favorites are The Flying Carpet and Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom (two of my favorite paintings ever! ❤). I also love Among the Waves (breathtaking!), Tamara and the Demon (although my favorite painting based on the poem is the one done by Konstantin Makovsky), At the School Doors (we don't see the boy's face, but the painting perfectly conveys his innocence, hesitation and courage... that's really an incredible work), and The Unequal Marriage (I believe it's practically a study of human emotions, represented by their facial expressions). Great video, as always. 🙂
I was doubting whether to include The Flying Carpet, it's definitely a lovely one, but the choice was also difficult for me ;-). And for Makovsky, I was a bit biased as I recently saw the painting in San Francisco in person, but he had many other great works as well. Cheers
@@AmuzeArt I love the way Makovsky portrayed the Demon; he seems so vulnerable. I especially like his facial expression. I think it conveys love, sadness, despair, frustration... I need to check more of Makovsky's paintings. What I've seen so far is fascinating.
I too like the Repin piece the most. His 'Reply of the Cossacks' is a personal favourite, which hangs on my wall. The technical ability of those waves is breath taking though, and I am considering acquiring a reproduction. Thanks for the work you do with your channel 🙂
Reply of the Cossacks is definitely a masterpiece that I could have included in this list. I only tried to select one work per artist, but he was very versatile and has many great ones. And, yes, Aivazovsky knew the waves like no one else. He has so many beautiful ones, but this one may illustrate his mastery of the waves and the weather better than any other..
@@nsha5687Kuindzhi is of Greek origin, but he considered himself to be Russian, so he is a Russian artist. Levitan, although he was a Jew by nationality, but he loved Russia and Russian nature very much and dedicated his paintings to them, so he is a Russian artist.
Thank you for this beautiful overview. My favorite among these is probably Repin's piece. I am going to rewatch your video on this to remind myself of the story again. Repin also has some other wonderful pieces.

The Peredvizhniki movement had some great artists indeed, and I could have chosen even more artists from that period.
Always a delight to see your videos!
Thanks!

Let me tell you that Repin is a great Ukrainian artist, not Russian one.
@@nsha5687Maybe Jesus was Ukrainian too? Ilya Repin is a Russian artist and considered himself to be a Russian.
I totally agree with your choice.
I love also Kuindzhi, Polenov, Shishkin, Levitan.
Thanks, and those are some other great artists indeed!
Let me tell you that Kuindhi is Ukrainian. Levitan is Jewish.

Yes, Repin was a very versatile artist. I tried to select only one work per artist, but could easily have selected more than one by Repin.
@@AmuzeArt Yes, I wished we could have had They Did Not Expect Him, Barge Haulers in the Volga... But thanks for the great compilation!
Both great works indeed!
