About this experience
Levitan's life was not easy. He lost his parents at an early age, did not receive a diploma after school, was unlucky in love, and was dissatisfied with himself as an artist. I will focus on the time he spent in Ples - the time he considered the happiest. I will take you to Levitan's places, show reproductions of his paintings, and the local poetic landscapes.
What to expect
Ples and Levitan
In Ples, Levitan painted his best works: 'Quiet abode', 'Evening toll', 'Above eternal repose', and 'Birch grove'. You will see the sacred places where they were created. You will visit Cathedral Hill, admire the view of Levitan's Mountain, walk down the historical path to the Trade Square, and stroll along the picturesque embankment, enjoying the Volga landscapes.
Ples - the city of happiness
You will understand that Levitan found happiness in Ples not by chance. I am a native of Ples, I love my city with all my soul. I believe that Ples has everything you need for happiness. We, the people of Ples, know how to enjoy the little things, live unhurriedly, and be in harmony with nature. Not to rush anywhere and appreciate what is truly important. I will gladly help you slow down, immerse yourself in the local rhythm, and see beauty in simple things.
