Ivan Kramskoy wrote following about Shishkin’s merits:
“Shishkin simply amazes us with his knowledge... And when he has the landscape before him it’s as if he is in his element, immediately he is bold and agile and does not need to think about how, what or why... I think he is the only one among us who knows nature in a scholarly way.
