Andrey Yefimovich Martynov

Andrey Efimovich Martynov (Russian: Андрей Ефимович Мартынов) was a Russian painter and engraver, known for his landscapes and lithographs. Born in 1768 in St. Petersburg, he graduated from the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1788. Martynov studied landscape painting under Semion Shchedrin and further honed his skills in Italy from 1788 to 1794, under the influence of Jakob Philipp Hackert. His Italian landscapes were highly appreciated upon his return to Russia, leading to his appointment as an academician in 1795​​.

Martynov’s work is renowned for its idealized and panoramic views of nature. He traveled extensively, capturing the beauty of rural Russia, Siberia, and Mongolia in his watercolors and lithographs. His series "Views of Russia and Mongolia" and "Peoples Types of Russia and Mongolia" are particularly admired for their detail and artistic quality. Martynov was also the official artist of the Russian embassy to China in 1805, a role that further enriched his portfolio with diverse cultural landscapes​.

In addition to painting, Martynov contributed significantly to the development of lithography in Russia. His works, including scenes from the Crimea, the Baltic States, and the Volga River, are preserved in various museums, such as the Russian Museum and the Museum of the Academy of Fine Arts. Martynov’s legacy lies in his ability to blend classical composition with the celebration of natural beauty, making his works a valuable part of Russian art history​.
