Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin (1832 – 1898) was one of the most popular landscape painters in Russian history and closely associated with the Peredvizhniki movement. His paintings of wooded landscapes led his contemporaries to call him “Tsar of the woods.” 

In 1852 Shishkin entered the Moscow School of Painting and Sculpture and received a good grounding under the guidance of A. N. Mokritsky. From 1856 to 1860, he continued his studies at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts and graduated with the highest honours and a gold medal and granted a stipend to travel to Munich, Prague, and Düsseldorf, Germany. It was mainly the Düsseldorf school that furthered his inclination toward exact reproduction of nature and linear severity.

Shishkin’s “portrait” of Russian nature — expansive and rich, not subject to time and not dependent on human emotion — became associated with the staunchness and power of the Russian national character and with patriotic overtones of national history. Being in this sense an incarnation of the “Russian spirit,” Shishkin’s paintings entered everyday life in Russia, becoming the decoration on candy wrappers and illustrations in textbooks.
