Portrait of Italian singer Angelo Masini 1890

Konstantin Korovin's "Portrait of Italian singer Angelo Masini" is a striking example of Russian Impressionism. Created in 1890, the painting captures the essence of the famed opera singer with loose brushstrokes and a focus on light and shadow. Masini is depicted in a dark, almost shadowy setting, with his face illuminated by a warm glow. The expressive lines and brushwork convey a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Korovin's style. This work is now part of the Tretyakov Gallery collection in Moscow.
