Nikolai Nevrev
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikolai Vasilyevich Nevrev (1830-1904) was a Russian painter.
Nevrev was born to a family of merchants in Moscow. At the age of 21, Nevrev entered the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, where he studied under the Russian-Italian painter, Scotti. In the 60s, Nevrev painted one of his masterpieces, "The Market" (1866), in which he depicted the sale of serfs. His other paintings focused on criticisms of the Church. He temporarily stopped working in the 1870s, for seemingly unknown reasons, but began painting historical art in the 80s. In 1881, Nevrev became a member of the Association of Travelling Art Exhibitions. Nevrev's best work during his time was arguably his genre paintings, each exhibiting a human moral. At the age of 74, Nevrev lost his son and consequently committed suicide.
