Leon Felixowitsch Lagorio
(Feodosia 1826–1905 St. Petersburg)
Crossing the Ford, the Mountains of the Causcasus in the background, signed in Cyrillic script, oil on canvas, 72.5 x 104.5 cm, framed, Additional information/Correction Later signed into the dry colour (W)
Provenance:
Galerie Metlewicz, Vienna 1988;
Austrian private collection.
We are grateful to Dr. Olga Sugrobova-Roth for her assistance in cataloguing this work.
Views of the Caucasus are popular subjects in the works of Leon Lagorio, an artist who travelled frequently and was captivated by the grandiosity of the natural world. The breathtaking height of the mountain peaks, floating above the clouds, forms a romantic contrast with the rider and oxcart crossing the river. Lagorio’s decorative figures bring the centre of the landscape to life. His painting Fishermen in the S. D. Ersja art museum in Saransk bears a similar Lagorio signature.
