History
Klever's landscapes have something fascinating and have seduced since their creation for their singularity. At the dawn of his 21st year, he sold his first painting to Count Pavel Stroganov before seeing his landscapes acquired by Tsar Alexander II and Pavel Tretyakov. Our work, unknown to reference books and the art market, is distinguished by the softness of the colors used, in contrast to the snowy villages or scarlet twilight famous of the artist.
