What to look for

Peredvizhniki: academic painting of the time is polished, mythological and Italianate; the Wanderers paint Russian people and places, in earthy colour, with a story to read. French Realism shares the ideals but rarely the storytelling.

Nikolay Nikanorovich Dubovskoy (17 December 1859 — 28 February 1918) was a Russian landscape painter, associated with the Peredvizhniki. Together with Isaac Levitan, he helped create what came to be known as the "Landscape of Mood". Wikipedia
