Vladimir Ivanovich Moshkov

Vladimir Ivanovich Moshkov (Russian: Владимир Иванович Мошков) was a Russian artist of the first half of the 19th century. He is known as a painter, watercolorist, battle-painter, author of historical paintings and portraitist.

Vladimir Moshkov is considered to be one of the founders of the battle-painting genre in Russia. A painting painted in 1815 dedicated to the Battle of Nations, the largest battle in a series of Napoleonic wars, brought him wide popularity. The artist created a whole series of paintings and sketches dedicated to Russian-Persian relations when he was on a diplomatic mission to Persia.
