<B>Alexei Gavrilovich Venetsianov</B><BR><BR>1780 - 1847<BR><BR>Russian Art<BR><BR>A Crying Girl<BR><BR>1932<BR><BR>Pencil<BR><BR>31x22 cm<BR><BR>Signed and dated.<BR><BR>Collection Beilitz<BR><BR>Paris.<BR><BR>Alexey Gavrilovich Venetsianov was born on family of a merchant of Greek origin. He entered the state service in early 1800s and was moved to St. Petersburg<BR><BR>where in his spare time he began to study art. He copied pictures in Hermitage<BR><BR>painted friends. He got acquainted with the outstanding painter of his time Vladimir Borovikovsky and for some period lived in his house as a disciple. He tried to work as a freelance portraitist<BR><BR>but had a little commissions. In 1811 the Board of the Academy of Arts awarded him the title of an Academician for his two works - the Self-Portrait and Portrait of K. I. Golovachevsky and the Younger Pupils of the Academy. In 1819<BR><BR>wishing to devote himself wholly to art<BR><BR>Venetsianov left the service<BR><BR>bought a village of Safonkovo in Tver province<BR><BR>and settled there. He decided to paint the surrounding life as it was. In 1820s he created many canvases in which he followed his idea. These works determined his contribution into Russian art. He painted portraits of peasants<BR><BR>scenes of rural life; he depicted them truthfully<BR><BR>with kindness<BR><BR>but rather sentimental. With his pictures In the Fields. Spring. (1827)<BR><BR>Harvesting. Summer. (1827)<BR><BR>Sleeping Herd-Boy. (1824) and others he was the first to depict peasants life in Russian art. His works were of great success at the exhibition of 1824<BR><BR>and enjoyed good critics in press. Venetsianovs ambition was to become a professor in the Academy of Arts<BR><BR>but the academicians did not approve him: he was a stranger<BR><BR>he lacked<BR><BR>unlike them<BR><BR>academic training. But Venetsianov was a naturally born teacher. At the end of 1810s he began to attract young people from commons with low means and even serfs (all of whom<BR><BR>in most cases<BR><BR>he was able to emancipate from bondage) to teach them painting. In the middle 1820s he had a group of disciples. Thus he started his own school of painting. Tsar Nicholas I<BR><BR>who liked to stimulate national trends<BR><BR>expressed his approval to the artist and appointed him a court painter. This title gave him a financial support<BR><BR>necessary for running school<BR><BR>where tuition was practically free. Venetsianov died in an accident in 1847: his horses dashed off and the carriage fell down from a steep slope.
