Biography He was born to a noble family, probably somewhere in Ukraine. Originally, he was employed at the Odessa office of the State Bank of the Russian Empire. He was fond of making pencil sketches of his friends, who told him he should take up art professionally. In 1874, he left the civil service and went to Düsseldorf, where he showed his work to Professor Eduard von Gebhardt, a Baltic-German who had studied in Saint Petersburg. On that basis, he was enrolled in the Academy of Arts. He apparently gave little time to his studies and was often ill. After spending three years there, he took a trip through France and Italy and returned to Odessa in 1877. He lived in a hotel and supported himself by giving drawing lessons. He had his début in 1882, with a painting called "Requiem", at an exhibition of the Peredvizhniki. It was acquired by Pavel Tretyakov for his gallery. His first solo exhibition was in 1884 and he held a major joint showing with Nikolai Bodarevsky in 1889. He participated in the Exposition Universelle (1900), became a full member of the Peredvizhniki in 1903, was named an honorary "Academician" by the Imperial Academy…
