Cabinet Portrait of the Russian Artist Pavel Aleksandrovich Bryullov in his workshop. 1906-1912. Photographer K. Bulla.
Dimensions: 10.5 x 16 cm
Pavel Bryullov (1840-1914) - Landscape painter and son of Aleksandr Bryullov, the famous architecture professor, and the baroness Aleksandra von Ral. He was also a nephew of Karl Bryullov, the famous artist of “The Last Day of Pompeii.”
Bryullov was a brilliant student of the Physics/Mathematics Department of the Emperor University in Saint Petersburg, played grand piano and violoncello, and was passionate about painting. After graduating from the university he set off for Europe, visited Italy and England, and lived in Paris where he attended classes at the Academy of the Fine Arts and revealed an enormous interest in landscaping. After returning to Saint Petersburg, Pavel Bryullov painted extensively and became a member of the Board of the Imperial Academy of Arts. He also occupied the position of the curator of the State Russian Museum (formerly the Russian Museum of His Imperial Majesty Alexander III). His artworks were a success at a number of exhibitions. Some of Bryullov’s paintings were purchased for the collection of the renowned connoisseur of art, Pavel Tretyakov.
Among the most well-known paintings of Pavel Bryullov is the landscapes such as: “Spring” (1875), “Verandah. Algeria” (1882), “The Road to the Sea. Algeria” (1883) and “Landscape with a River” (1900). He also drew portraits, the most famous of which are: “The Failed Meeting” (or “A Girl With a Candle”), “Portrait of The Cardinal” and “A Peasant Girl”.
Pavel Bryullov painted in the realistic style. He was one of the Peredvizhniki artists* who tried to give true and real life representations through their paintings. Most of his artworks showed the poverty and the beauty of the folk way of life at the same time. Even his portraits differed a lot from those of his uncle, Karl Bryullov, ones who painted mostly the elite of those times.
Peredvizhniki (also known as The Itinerants or The Wanderers) is a movement of the first Free Society of Realist Artists in the Russian Empire (1863-1923). Its representatives protested against academic restrictions and represented a new art. The Peredvizhniki openly confronted the stringent artistic and social hierarchies of the Academy of Arts and the aristocracy. They were able to sustain their movement and livelihood by selling their pieces at the traveling exhibitions. During their over five-decade history, the artists arranged 48 exhibitions and brought their progressive art and ideals to millions of Russian people. After a time, however, their movement began denying styles of the art of freedom they had initially fought for. As the nation underwent political revolution at the beginning of the XX century, movements of the Russian modernism and the avant-garde were gaining momentum. Rather than fostering a continued appreciation of originality and innovation, the Peredvizhniki lost themselves in resistance to change.
