The most important form of early Russian art was the icon. There was a large amount of painting, much of which has been lost. The word “icon” means “image” in Greek, but in the Christian era the term was used for religious pictures of Christ and saints on a wooden panel. With the spread of Christianity in the Slav world icons were produced in large numbers and used to decorate churches, mostly placed on the iconostasis.

Portrait painting, marines and townscapes were dominant genres. In the second half of the nineteenth century artists of the Wanderers (Peredvizhniki) group started painting scenes of contemporary life.

After the Tsar’s death, Menshikov fell in disgrace and was dismissed from all his posts and exiled to a remote part of Siberia.

A master of the landscape, Levitan, never introduced figures into it. Though if you look at ‘The Autumn Day in Sokolniki”, everything seems to bring out the loneliness of the figure in the centre: the trees losing their leaves, the remote, indifferent sky, the path going off into the distance. But the fact is that it was not Levitan who painted the figure. It was Chekhov’s brother Nicolai who did it.

Andrew Wyeth painted portraits, landscapes, seascapes and domestic scenery. His favourite media are tempera and water-colour. Wyeth’s works are easily recognized by dimly lit and deserted landscapes in tones of grey and brown, which convey feelings of loneliness and solitude. One of the keys to his works is that he creates mysteries that need resolution.
