Karl Petrovich Beggrov

Karl Petrovich Beggrov (Russian: Карл Петрович Беггров) was a Russian artist known for his exceptional lithographs and watercolor paintings. Born in 1799, Beggrov studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts under M.N. Vorobyov and later worked in his brother's lithographic workshop. His talent spanned various art forms, including portraits, landscapes, and cityscapes, which captured the essence of 19th-century St. Petersburg​.

Beggrov's work is particularly celebrated for its detailed and vivid portrayals of St. Petersburg. His series "Views of St. Petersburg and Its Environs," created between 1821 and 1826, remains one of the most significant contributions to early Russian lithography. These works were a collaborative effort with other artists, yet Beggrov's distinctive style is evident in the 28 lithographs he produced for the series​​.

Several of Beggrov's artworks are housed in major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Notable pieces like "Our Lady of Vladimir Church in St. Petersburg" and "View of the Arch of the General Staff Building Towards the Winter Palace" showcase his mastery of lithography and his ability to convey architectural grandeur with precision​​.
