Konstantin Gorbatov (Russian, 1876-1945) was a painter known for his luminous cityscapes and romantic post-impressionist style. Trained in Saint Petersburg and Munich, he brought vibrant color and expressive brushwork to views of Venice, Capri, and the Rhine.
Exiled after the Russian Revolution, he spent most of his life in Germany, painting old-world scenes with a sense of fading grandeur. His work is defined by light, atmosphere, and the quiet drama of place.
