Ivan Aivazovsky (1817 - 1900) is the most celebrated marine painter in Russian art. His paintings won him wide recognition both in Russia and abroad. He was elected a member of the St. Petersburg, Rome, Florence, Amsterdam, and Stuttgart art academies. Selected for reproduction in this book out of Aivazovsky's enormous legacy (about 6,000 works) are his best-known paintings and drawings from Soviet museums. The photographs illustrate Aivazovsky's life and creative activities in the Crimea.

Isaac Levitan (1860 - 1900) was called by Chekhov the best Russian landscape painter. Levitan created his own poetical image of Russian nature; his lyrical canvases subtly convey the state of nature at different seasons of the year. The book contains reproductions of Levitan's paintings and also of their details, revealing the unique features of the artist's palette. A biographical outline puts the work of Levitan into historical perspective.
