Boris Bessonov, a little-known but prized painter 

Boris Bessonov (1862-1934), an artist of Russian origin, has become a figure prized by collectors, as has Krachkowsky. Little is known about his life in France and Russia. He was born in Moscow, but soon left his native country for Western Europe. He painted almost exclusively landscapes, without protagonists. Bessonov exclusively painted scenes set in the countryside, forest or mountains; he was not interested in depicting cities or buildings.

However, there is diversity in his canvases and landscape choices, which are notably due to the different seasons as well as the places he traveled to in Europe.

Bessonov's major work remains that of light, a technique he worked on by dint of painting, to obtain a rendering most in keeping with the scenes he observed, worthy of Russian realism.
