Konstantin Korovin ( Константи́н Коро́вин ): Russian Impressionist painter

We may often see beautiful night scene photos but why do we rarely see night scene paintings?

1. The light bulb was invented in the early 19th century. 

2. It is difficult to paint night scene in oil paints.

But Russian Impressionist painter Konstantin Korovin(1861-1939) had a great talent in painting Paris at night. Konstantin Korovin was born in Moscow. He was not only a painter but also a writer and stage designer. 

為什麼經常看見捕捉夜景的照片，卻很少看到描繪夜景的繪畫？

由於1.電燈的發明在19世紀初。2. 夜景畫很難畫。

然而，俄羅斯印象派畫家康斯坦丁•柯羅文(1861-1939)卻擅長畫夜景，特別是巴黎的夜晚。康斯坦丁•柯羅文出生在莫斯科，身兼多種身分：畫家、作家、舞台設計師。
