Pavel Osipovich Kovalevsky

Pavel Osipovich Kovalevsky (Russian: Павел Осипович Ковалевский) was a Russian artist of the second half of the 19th century. He is known as a painter, graphic artist and teacher, a representative of academism.

Pavel Kovalevsky is considered one of the most significant painters of his time. He became more famous as a battle-painter, genre painter and animalist, and less often worked in landscape and portrait genres. His best works are usually complex multi-figure compositions. Some genre works are made in a social and critical spirit, which, according to critics, kinship with the work of the Itinerants.
