Peredvizhniki

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.

Konstantin Yegorovich Makovsky (Russian: Константин Егорович Маковский; (20 June o.c.) 2 July n.c. 1839 – 17 o.c. (30 n.c.) September 1915) was a Russian painter during the Belle Époque, affiliated with the "Peredvizhniki (Wanderers)". Wikipedia
