What to look for
Peredvizhniki: academic painting of the time is polished, mythological and Italianate; the Wanderers paint Russian people and places, in earthy colour, with a story to read. French Realism shares the ideals but rarely the storytelling.
Vasily Grigorevich Perov (2 January 1834 – 10 June 1882) was a Russian painter, a key figure of the Russian Realist movement and one of the founding members of Peredvizhniki. Wikipedia
