Famous artists in Crimea
Since the second half of the 19th century, Crimea has become a place of attraction for people of art. Most searched here inspiration- it was impossible not to admire the landscapes of the new pearl in the crown of the Russian Empire. It was possible to heal on the peninsula. We must also not forget that I was going here color of Petersburg society, and retained the ability to maintain the necessary connections. Let's start the story about the artists in the Crimea with names that we are not accustomed to associate with Tauris.
Konstantin Alekseevich Korovin
A student of Savrasov and Polenov, a “virtuoso decorator,” as Diaghilev called him, and an artist at the Imperial Theaters, who created stunning scenery for famous ballet and opera productions, a connoisseur of northern nature, over time, Korovin turns color into the main means of expression. Korovin finds the harmony of beauty in the colors of France, Spain and the Crimea, which captivated the artist. Captured so much that Korovin decides to build a summer house in Gurzuf, which has turned into a workshop. From 1914 to 1917 Korovin lived permanently at his dacha. His guests here were Chaliapin, Gorky, Surikov, Repin, Kuprin. In his memoirs about the dacha, the artist especially highlights the roses and the sea, the blue Black Sea.
Fruit basket, Gurzuf, 1916
In the garden. Gurzuf, 1914
Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi
The artist, who was born in the town of Karasevka (now one of the quarters of Mariupol), was connected with the Crimea all his life. He came to the Crimea as a boy in the hope of becoming a student of the great I.K. Aivazovsky, but "entrusted" the future genius only with painting the fence. After 30 years, having already become famous himself, he buys a large plot near the village of Kikeneiz (now it is Opolznevoe, just above Ponizovka on the territory of Greater Yalta). Having spent an impressive amount of 30 thousand rubles on the purchase, at first Kuindzhi and his wife live in a hut. Arkhip Ivanovich avoided society, it was a period of seclusion.
This period ended in 1901, when Kuindzhi decided to show his friends some new works. Art critics note that on the canvases of the artist, created in the Crimea, the air acquired "color".
Seashore, Crimea
Isaac Ilyich Levitan
Pictures of Crimean nature did not become the main theme in the work of the singer of Russian nature - the famous artist Levitan. He visited the peninsula in 1886 to improve his failing health, and brought back almost fifty landscapes from this trip: pencil sketches, studies in oils and watercolors. But ahead of the great painter, who graduated from the school without an artist's diploma (according to the diploma, Levitan was only a calligraphy teacher) had a meeting with the Volga and the main paintings in his life.
Who knows, if fate had turned out differently and Levitan had been granted a few more years of life, maybe today we admired the Crimean creations of the Master? After all, the Crimea and the revealed “eternal beauty” of Levitan shocked him, which he confessed to in a letter to Chekhov. But even those pictures that we know are very interesting.
Ai-Petri, 1886
Another group consists of artists whose life is inextricably linked with the Crimea. First of all, these are Bogaevsky and Aivazovsky.
Konstantin Fedorovich Bogaevsky
A Crimean, a native of Feodosia, whose first works were favorably received by Aivazovsky himself, Konstantin Bogaevsky later became a student of Kuindzhi. Bogaevsky lived in the Crimea, understood the Crimean nature and dedicated his work to it. The very paintings of Konstantin Fedorovich are landscapes and the history of the peninsula.
Evening by the sea, 1941
Ivan Constantinovich Aivazovski
The story about the artists in the Crimea cannot be completed without mentioning the most famous Crimean painter Ivan Aivazovsky. A native of Feodosia Aivazovsky, the first art teacher was the German Johann Gross, who gave the young talent a recommendation for admission to the Academy of Arts. For the painting "Calm" Aivazovsky receives a grant for a two-year trip to the Crimea and Europe, almost perishes in the Bay of Biscay, safely returns to Russia in 1844. The artist is recognized and favored by the authorities - he was granted the nobility, appointed painter of the Main Naval Staff (Aivazovsky rises to the rank rear admiral). A year later, Ivan Konstantinovich moved to Feodosia, where he became one of the founders of the Cimmerian school of painting. Aivazovsky opens his own art school, allocates funds for the improvement of his native city, the protection of Crimean monuments and archaeological excavations, and builds the Museum of Antiquities in Feodosia at his own expense. But first of all, Aivazovsky is known throughout the world as a marine painter. He painted some of his paintings after a trip to the besieged Sevastopol during the Crimean War.
Did you know that such famous artists as Ivan Aivazovsky, Ivan Shishkin, Ilya Repin, Valentin Serov, Isaac Levitan captured the Crimean Tatars in their paintings? prepared for you a selection of the brightest paintings with Crimean Tatar motifs by these and other Russian artists.
Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky (Hovhannes Ayvazyan - 1817-1900)
Few people know that Aivazovsky was fluent in the Crimean Tatar language. The artist respected the Crimean Tatars and treated their culture with the same respect.
"Crimean Tatars on the Seashore", 1850. The painting is kept in a private collection. 
“Moonlit night in the Crimea. Gurzuf”, 1839. In the early period of his work, Aivazovsky wrote a romantic landscape “Moonlight night in the Crimea. Gurzuf. The calm greenish-blue tones used by the artist for this canvas emphasize the tranquility and poetry of the southern night, the beauty of the changing Crimean nature. The moon, caressing with its rays the clouds floating over the Gurzuf Bay, froze over the dormant Ayu-Dag, the Jenevez-Kaya rock with the ruins of an ancient fortress, a small cape at its base, the white Adalars twin rocks that rolled into the sea from the Crimean mountains millions of years ago. Moonlight spills across the sky, turning the surface of the water into a golden mirror, reflecting the mountains and the ships standing in the bay.
Crimean view. Ayu-Dag", 1865
"Coast. Crimean coast near Ai-Petri”, 1890
Nikanor Grigorievich Chernetsov (1804–1879) at the beginning of 1833 he was assigned to the service of Count Mikhail Vorontsov, who at that time was the Novorossiysk and Bessarabian governor-general. The artist travels to the Crimea, where Vorontsov's estates were, and returns from there only in 1836. Chernetsov was able to convey his impressions of the unusual sunny southern nature, with its bright saturated colors, so unlike cold Petersburg, in the many sketches and watercolors he created at that time.
"Tatar courtyard in the Crimea", 1839
"View of the Karalezskaya Valley", 1839
Isaac Ilyich Levitan (1860–1900) in the spring of 1886 he went to the Crimea to rest and improve his precarious health: he had a weak heart. He visited Yalta, Massandra, Alupka, Simeiz, Bakhchisarai. The sultry Crimean nature struck Levitan. Many believe that it was Levitan who first discovered the beauties of the southern Crimea.
"Saklya in Alupka", 1886
"Source", 1886
"Street in Yalta", 1886
"Cypress trees near the mosque", 1886
Fyodor Alexandrovich Vasiliev (1850–1873). An aggravated illness (pulmonary tuberculosis) forced him to go first to the Kharkov province, and then to the Crimea. At the end of July 1871, Vasiliev arrived in Yalta with his mother and younger brother. He felt like a stranger in this city and painfully experienced loneliness, yearned for his native northern nature. Gradually, the artist fell in love with the Crimea, especially its mountains. For the painting "In the Crimean Mountains" he received the first prize at the competition of the Society for the Encouragement of Artists (1873). I.N. Kramskoy called this landscape "one of the most poetic landscapes in general ...".
"In the Crimea after the rain", 1871-1873

Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin (1832–1898) visited the Crimea several times and left several local landscapes, as well as many unfinished pencil sketches.
"Saklya"
"In the mountains of Gurzuf"
Ilya Efimovich Repin (1844–1930) arrived in the Crimea in the spring of 1880 together with his younger friend and student, in the future - the famous painter, Valentin Serov. It seemed to Repin that it was in the Crimea that he would hear and find traces of distant echoes of past battles. However, probably because he came there with a clearly defined purpose, the Crimea with its noisy resorts disappointed the artist. He was not interested in either the bright Crimean nature, or the magnificent architecture of cities, or other sights. And the painter, having painted several sketches of Tatars and Gypsies, goes to Odessa, where he continues to find and sketch objects of Cossack life.
"Crimea. Conductor, 1880
Valentin Aleksandrovich Serov (1865–1911) he came to Crimea several times: first with Ilya Repin, when he was 15 years old, then with Vladimir Derviz, and in the summer of 1893 he rented a dacha. Here, under the impression of local residents and nature, he creates "Tatar village in the Crimea" and "Iphigenia in Taurida", written according to the plot of an ancient Greek tragedy.
"Tatar village in the Crimea", 1893
Serov paints this picture in the open air, that is, creating a work right in the open air without preparatory sketches, as the Impressionists did. The play of sunspots creates the atmosphere of a sultry southern day with its silence "Tatar women by the river", 1893
Ilya Ivanovich Mashkov(1881-1941) - famous Russian artist. Born in 1881 in the village of Mikhailovskaya-on-Don. One of the brightest representatives of the Russian avant-garde. He worked in the following genres: realism, cubism, post-impressionism, lubok, etc.
"Bakhchisaray", 1920s
Nina Konstantinovna Zhaba (1872–1942) in 1906 she came to Bakhchisaray only for sketches. But as a result, she gave part of her soul to Bakhchisarai, marrying a local resident and settling here for years. After the tragic death of her husband, who was shot during the Civil War, Nina Zhaba moved to her brother in Leningrad, where she died during the blockade in 1942.
