***Nightlife on the Rue Venis*** (Konstantin Korovin, 1932)

(if that's not visible for whatever reason, here's a backup)

So, Konstantin Korovin (1861 – 1939) was a leading Russian Impressionist painter. [WP article]

In 1885 Korovin traveled to Paris and Spain. "Paris was a shock for me … Impressionists… in them I found everything I was scolded for back home in Moscow!", he later wrote.

I guess it goes to show that... "Impressionism" wasn't necessarily like a flash-fire that near-instantly traveled around the world, transforming art everywhere, but was in fact more like a philosophy / technique / approach that took time to disseminate across the various cultures at large.

Or something like that?
I mean, Moscow being so close to the hub of European culture, I would have thought that Impressionism, just like other art movements of the day, would have more quickly seeped in to the 'painterly arts,' but I guess there was more of a... gap, as it were?

Anyway, here's ~20 more of Konstantin's excellent works:
