Kirill Ivanovich Golovachevsky

Kirill Ivanovich Golovachevsky (Russian: Кирилл Иванович Головачевский) was a Russian artist and graphic designer, best known for his role as an inspector at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg from 1771-1773 and 1783-1823. Born on May 27, 1735, in Korop, Russian Empire, he initially joined the Kiev Theological Academy but was later sent to St. Petersburg as a court chorister. Under the patronage of Empress Catherine II, Golovachevsky studied painting with Ivan Petrovich Argunov alongside his fellow choristers​.

Though not considered a leading artist of his time, Golovachevsky contributed significantly to the Russian art scene through his portraits and historical paintings. His career at the Academy spanned over four decades, where he played a pivotal role in developing the institution's educational programs and nurturing the next generation of Russian artists​.

Golovachevsky's works, such as the portrait of Elizabeth Sofie Albertine von Graevenitz, have been recognized in the art market, reflecting his skill in portrait art despite the criticisms of his contemporaries regarding his artistic abilities​​.
