The Russian Canvas charts the remarkable rise of Russian painting
in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the nature of its relationship
with other European schools. Starting with the foundation of the
Imperial Academy of the Arts in 1757 and culminating with the
assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881, it details the
professionalization and wide-ranging activities of painters against
a backdrop of dramatic social and political change. The Imperial
Academy formalized artistic training but later became a foil for
dissent, as successive generations of painters negotiated their own
positions between pan-European engagement and local and national
identities. Drawing on original archival research, this
groundbreaking book recontextualizes the work of major artists,
revives the reputations of others, and explores the complex
developments that took Russian painters from provincial anonymity
to international acclaim.
