Sergei Alekseyevich Korovin

Sergei Alekseyevich Korovin (Russian: Серге́й Алексе́евич Коро́вин)  was a Russian Realist painter, celebrated for his authentic portrayal of Russian life and landscapes. Born on August 19, 1858, in Moscow into a wealthy merchant family of Old Believers, Korovin's background was as rich and complex as his art. His education at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture under the tutelage of Vasily Perov, Alexei Savrasov, and Illarion Pryanishnikov, a distant relative, laid the foundation for his artistic journey. His teaching stint at the same school and membership in the "Union of Russian Artists" highlighted his commitment to the Russian art scene​​​​.

Korovin's masterpiece "На миру" (1893), depicting an obshchina meeting aimed at resolving a dispute, stands as a testament to his ability to capture the essence of Russian societal dynamics post-emancipation of the serfs. His later works showcased a transition towards Impressionism, marking his versatility and depth as an artist. Notably, his contributions to the artistic world were not limited to paintings alone; he also ventured into illustrations, such as those for Gogol's "The Overcoat", and decorative paintings, including a depiction of the Battle of Kulikovo at the State Historical Museum​​.

Despite a career overshadowed by his more famous brother, Konstantin Korovin, Sergei's dedication to Russian art and culture remains undeniable. His sudden death in 1908 due to heart failure cut short a life of artistic exploration and expression​​.

For enthusiasts and collectors of Russian art, Sergei Alekseyevich Korovin's works offer a unique window into the soul of Russia during a pivotal time in its history.
