Albert Bredow

Albert Bredow is a German landscape painter, lithographer and scenographer who is known for most of his work in Russia. He is known for his paintings of ethereal landscapes (German, Latvian and Russian landscapes) which may have been a hobby he pursued more intensely later in life as he was actively employed in the theater for his years of work. From 1852 to 1855 he worked in Riga as a theater designer. In 1856 he went to Moscow at the invitation of the Imperial Theater Management. He worked there from 1856 to 1862 as a decorator for this theatre. He designed shows at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and at the Mariinsky Theater. In 1863, the illustrations of his sets for Glinka's opera A Life for the Tsar were deemed sufficiently worthy of publication in album form. In 1868, he began his studies at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Petersburg. At the art exhibitions of the Academy, he exhibited his landscapes from Germany and Russia. Some sketches of Bredov's sets are kept in the collection of the Moscow Theater Museum. A number of works are held in private European (mainly German) collections. Bredov's easel works are nearly identical in style to his landscape sketches.
