Isaak Izrailevich Brodsky (Russian: Исаак Израилевич Бродский, 6 January 1884 (O.S. 25 December 1883) – August 14, 1939) was a Soviet painter whose work provided a blueprint for the art movement of socialist realism. He is known for his iconic portrayals of Lenin and idealized, carefully crafted paintings dedicated to the events of the Russian Civil War and Bolshevik Revolution.
Brodsky was born in the village of Sofiyevka in Ukraine He studied at Odessa Art Academy and the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg. In 1916 he joined the Jewish Society for the Encouragement of the Arts. When Brodsky asked Lenin to autograph his painting Lenin, he said: «I am signing to what I don’t agree with for the first time».
Brodsky was on good terms with many leading Russian painters, including his mentor, Ilya Repin. He was an avid art collector who donated numerous first-class paintings to museums in his native Ukraine and elsewhere. His superb art collection included important works by Repin, Vasily Surikov, Valentin Serov, Isaak Levitan, Mikhail Vrubel, and Boris Kustodiev. After his death Brodsky’s apartment on Arts Square in St. Petersburg was declared a national museum. His art collection is still on exhibit there.
Brodsky was an Honoured Artist of the Russian SFSR and a member of the Union of Russian Artists. He was the first painter to be awarded the Order of Lenin. In 1934 he was appointed Director of the All-Russian Academy of Arts. From 1934 to 1939 he was also a head of personal Art workshop in institute, where his pupils included the well-known Soviet painters Nikolai Timkov, Alexander Laktionov, Yuri Neprintsev, Piotr Belousov, Piotr Vasiliev, Mikhail Kozell and others.

Isaak Israilewitsch Brodski (russisch Исаак Израилевич Бродский; * 25. Dezember 1883jul./ 6. Januar 1884greg. in Sofijewki bei Berdjansk, Ukraine; † 14. August 1939 in Leningrad) war ein ukrainischer-russischer Künstler.
Vor der Oktoberrevolution gehörte Brodski zu den Mitgliedern der von Natan Issajewitsch Altman gegründeten Jüdischen Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Künste (Еврейского общества поощрения художеств) und hatte einigen Erfolg als Maler, unter anderem malte er auch ein Porträt von Kerenski.
Er gehörte 1922 zu den Mitbegründern der Assoziation der Künstler des revolutionären Russlands und war einer der Hauptvertreter des Sozialistischen Realismus. Sein bekanntestes Bild ist zweifellos W.I. Lenin im Smolny (1930), eine postume, nahezu naturalistische Darstellung Lenins. Dabei strebte Brodski keine — wie bis dahin üblich — Idealisierung oder Heroisierung an, sondern eine menschliche Darstellung des Revolutionsführers. Ein weiteres bekanntes Bild stammt aus dem Jahre 1933 und trägt den Titel Lenin spricht zu Moskauer Arbeitern am 5. Mai 1920. Es bezieht sich auf ein von Grigori Petrowitsch Goldstein erstelltes Foto des Ereignisses, zeigt jedoch nicht die später in Ungnade gefallenen und auf den Fotos retuschierten Trotzki und Kamenew.
Brodski war der erste Künstler, dem der Leninorden verliehen wurde.
