NOTICE
Towards the end of his life in the mid-1930s, Korovine continued to paint Paris. But his colors blended, shapes blurred and motifs intermingled, conveying the bustling life of Paris in a very recognizable touch, as in our work. The buildings in the background mingle with the trees, while passers-by and stores are barely sketched in. The work becomes more complex to read, as the viewer's eye is drawn to the play of light.
BIOGRAPHY
Konstantin Korovine, a famous Russian painter of the early 20th century, had a passionate artistic relationship with the city of Paris. Born in Russia in 1861, Korovine was steeped in European culture and attracted by the charm and vitality of Paris.
On his first trip to the City of Light in 1885, he was amazed by its bustling streets, elegant boulevards and lively cafés. Inspired by the changing light and vibrant atmosphere of the French capital, Korovine captures the essence of Paris in his work. His paintings often depict scenes of everyday life in Paris, highlighting urban life, verdant parks, lush gardens and the city's famous monuments. His vibrant impressionist style and luminous color palette reflect his admiration for the energy and beauty of Paris.
Korovine soon became an active member of the Parisian artistic community, frequenting salons and galleries, and befriending other famous artists such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Paul Cézanne. His immersion in the artistic life of Paris enriched his work and influenced his technique, enabling him to develop his own distinctive style.
