Edit ProfileEducation
He studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts under Andrey Ivanovich Ivanov, Alexei Egorov and Vasily Shebuyev, graduating in 1824.
Career
He visited Dresden and Rome, copying frescoes and paintings as well as producing his own. His work "Fortune and the Beggar" brought him the title of Academician. In 1842, he became a Professor (2nd Degree).
Ten years later, he was promoted to Professor (1st Degree) and was awarded the title of Distinguished Professor in 1865.
Although he was an excellent craftsman, his chief contribution to Russian art was his diligent teaching. He sought out young artists, who in turn favored his classes when requesting apprenticeships.
