Ivan Kramskoi // Magazine // by Tretyakov Gallery

This edition introduces the work of Ivan Kramskoi, the greatest master of Russian psychological portraiture.

Kramskoi's restrained, intelligent and profound art is inseparable from his personality. "He was much more than comme il faut, he was a man quite decent both in appearance and in inner content. Decency and nobility, despite his origin, he had in his very nature, noble and graceful and decent to the last detail," - so defined Kramskoi critic Pavel Kovalevsky, of all contemporaries, perhaps the most receptive to the essence of the artist's work.
