In this remarkable painting entitled Winter Sunset, Russian painter Ivan Fedorovich Choultsé captures the fading light of the sun as it falls upon a snow-filled landscape with a singular and unmatched skill.
Choultsé was born in Petrograd, Russia to a family of German origin named Schultze, and received his first formal art training from Constantin Iacovlevich Krijitski, the celebrated miniaturist in the court of Czar Nicholas II. He had a noteworthy debut at the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Petrograd in 1903, after which he was not only made an honored exhibitor at all the major galleries in Moscow and his home town, but was elected court painter to Czar Nicholas II. His successes allowed him to travel extensively throughout Europe, Asia, North Africa and the Arctic, studying varying landscapes and their relationship to light.After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Choultsé was forced to flee the country because of his ties to the Imperial court. Making his way to Paris, he adopted the French transliteration of his name, Choultsé. Although he never returned to Russia, his work was widely recognized there during his lifetime. In Paris, he again began to exhibit, earning a number of awards and honors. He exhibited at the Paris Salon des Artistes Français in 1923 and 1924, earning attention and accolades and becoming one of the most prominent Salon artists. One-man shows in Paris and London were followed by exhibitions in New York, which solidified Choultsé's reputation as a brilliant and adept portrayer of nature. Today, his paintings can be found in many Russian museums. In addition, four paintings by Choultsé reside at Hillwood, Washington D.C., perhaps the most representative collection of Russian decorative arts outside the former Soviet Union.
