His artistic training began with the Armenian painter Aivazovsky in Crimea, then continued at the Moscow School of Painting and Sculpture, giving him a solid technical foundation that he would adapt to his Parisian vision.
Having settled permanently in Paris, he also developed a career as an illustrator, working on stories and court reports. A witness to his time, he also produced illustrations of the First World War, published in the press, documenting major historical events.
His personal life brought him to Alsace after his marriage to Anne-Marie Bisch. This provincial move did not interrupt his artistic career: he continued to exhibit his works in several galleries across Europe, demonstrating the international recognition of his work.
Beyond his famous Parisian views, Zeytline also developed a body of seascapes, revealing the diversity of his landscape inspirations. His meticulous approach and luminous palette make him a privileged witness to Parisian urban evolution.
His artistic legacy continues today through his works held by private collectors and in prestigious institutions such as the Carnavalet, Hamburg and Mulhouse museums, attesting to the documentary and aesthetic importance of his work on the French capital.
