Konstantin Yegorovich Makovsky

Konstantin Yegorovich Makovsky (Russian: Константин Егорович Маковский) was a renowned Russian painter, celebrated for his romantic and historical paintings that often portrayed an idealized view of Russian life in previous centuries. Born in Moscow in 1839, Makovsky became a pivotal figure in Russian art, distinguishing himself early on at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture and later at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg​​.

Makovsky was a core member of the "Peredvizhniki" or Wanderers, a group advocating for realism and social critique through art. His commitment to depicting the everyday life of old Russia won him accolades, including the Large Gold Medal at the World's Fair in Paris in 1889. Some of his notable works include "The Russian Bride's Attire" and "The Boyar Wedding Feast," which reflect his mastery in capturing the lavish and picturesque aspects of Russian history and culture​.

Tragically, Makovsky's life ended in a road accident in Saint Petersburg in 1915, but his legacy lives on through his profound impact on Russian art and culture. His works continue to be highly regarded and are featured in major museums and collections worldwide​.
