Vasily Sadovnikov

Vasily Sadovnikov (Russian: Василий Семёнович Садовников, 1800-1879) was a Russian painter, and a leading Russian master of perspective painting.

Vasily Semenovich Sadovnikov was born in 1800 in St. Petersburg into the family of a serf of the Princess N.P. Golitsina. He got his freedom only in 1838, after her death, already a well-known artist.

Sadovnikov studied in the studio of the architect A. Voronikhin, where he got in contact with painters Maxim Vorobiov and Alexey Venetsianov, who not only helped the gifted youth professionally but also took an active part in his liberation. Sadovnikov's mainly fulfilled "views", but these views are always inhabited with vivid scenes, which characterize the artist not only as a landscapist but also as a genre master. His views of St. Petersburg and its suburbs of 1830-1850 and interiors of its palaces, commissioned by the royal court and other high patrons, are best known. Sadovnikov's "Panoranic View of the Nevsky Avenue" (1830-1850), which was 16 meters long, was later etched and published on separate lists.

The artist died in 1879 in St. Petersburg.
