Nikolai Vasilyevich Nevrev

Nikolai Vasilyevich Nevrev (Russian: Никола́й Васи́льевич Не́врев) was a prominent Russian painter, renowned for his genre and historical scenes. Born in 1830 in Moscow into a merchant family, Nevrev's artistic journey began under the tutelage of Mikhail Scotti at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture from 1851 to 1855. His artistry flourished as he depicted societal critiques and historical narratives with a distinct moral undertone, making significant contributions to Russian visual culture.

Nevrev's paintings, such as "The Bargain" (1866), which illustrates the sale of a serf, and "Oprichniki" (1870s), showcase his mastery in portraying intense dramatic scenes that also reflect social commentaries of the time. His works are celebrated for their deep emotional impact and historical accuracy. Not only did he paint, but he also contributed as a teacher at his alma mater between 1887 and 1890, influencing a new generation of artists.

For those interested in the legacy of Nevrev, his works are displayed in prestigious collections, including the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. His life’s work offers an invaluable glimpse into the Russian society of his time and continues to inspire art lovers and collectors worldwide.
