Alexander Ivanovich Dmitriev-Mamonov

Alexander Ivanovich Dmitriev-Mamonov (Russian: Александр Иванович Дмитриев-Мамонов) was a Russian military commander and battle painter, known for his significant contributions both in the military and in the arts. Born on December 24, 1787, in Saint Petersburg, he was the son of Major-General Ivan Dmitriev-Mamonov. His early career saw him serving as an actuary at the Collegium of Foreign Affairs and later at the State Chancellery.

Dmitriev-Mamonov joined the People's Militia in 1812, rising to the rank of Lieutenant and participating in key battles such as Borodino and Krasnoi during the Napoleonic Wars. By 1823, he was promoted to Colonel and subsequently to Major-General in 1831, commanding various cavalry regiments. Apart from his military endeavors, Dmitriev-Mamonov was also an accomplished amateur artist. He co-founded the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts and established a drawing school in 1827. His battle sketches and watercolors are prominently displayed in Tsarskoye Selo.

In 1835, he transitioned to civil service, becoming a State Councillor at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. His notable awards include the Order of Saint Vladimir, Order of Saint Anna, and the Medal "For the Capture of Paris." Dmitriev-Mamonov's legacy is preserved through his artistic works and his contributions to Russian military history​.
