About the Item

Signed, monogram: Pavel Aleksandrovich Shillingovsky (1881 - 1942). Russian artist, master of graphics, representative of modern and neoclassical. He rarely painted with oil paints, and even more so still lifes, so this work is especially rare and valuable. For Schillingovsky, complex and rich compositions were characteristic, following the example of European masters of baroque and classicism, in which technical virtuosity was diligently emphasized. This nice still life was discovered some time ago in Finnish estate near Helsinki and we spent tons of time to identify signature. The result was pleasantly surprising! Antique oil painting on canvas, signed, framed. Size app.: 50 x 62 cm (roughly 19.7 x 24.5 in) enclosed into frame 62 x 72.5 cm (roughly 24.5 x 28.5 in). Very Good condition, no issues, minimal wear to painting, bit damaged frame. Please study good resolution images for precise cosmetic condition. In person actual item may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 2.8 kg is going to measure 4 kg packed for shipment. P. A. Schillingovsky, born in Chisinau in the family of an artist-decorator. He studied at the Odessa Art College (1895-1900), under K.K. Kostandi, and then at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts (1901-1914) under D.N. Kardovsky and V.V. Mate. Lived in St. Petersburg, Russia (after 1917, Leningrad). He worked mainly in the techniques of etching, engraving on linoleum and wood, lithography. Already in his early works (etchings on the themes of the Bible, 1914) he joined the neoclassical trend within modernity, stylizing his clear in composition, retrospective-elegiac in mood things “like the old masters”. His engravings were often compared with the architectural phantasmagoria of the famous Italian engraver of the 18th century. D. - B. Piranesi. He created a number of landscape cycles in this spirit (etchings "The Balkans", 1912-1913; woodcuts "Chufut-Kale", 1924), the most significant of which is a series of woodcuts "Petersburg. city on the Neva in the spirit of the classic-baroque "landscape of ruins". His later works organically fit into the mainstream of the "return to tradition", characteristic of the art of the 1930s-1940s (cycles: "Pushkin Reserve", lithographs, 1926-1937; "Kakheti", lithographs, 1935; "Besieged city", woodcuts, 1941–1942). He acted as a portrait painter and master of the art of the book. The best example of his book design is the design of Homer's Odyssey in the spirit of ancient Greek black-figure ceramics (woodcuts, 1935). He worked a lot as a teacher - at the Academy of Arts (1921-1937). He died of starvation during the siege of Leningrad. Hewas buried in the mass grave of professors of the Academy of Arts in the Smolensk cemetery. His works are mainly represented in Russian museums (V. Surikov State Art Museum etc.) and private collections around the world.

  • Portrait of Old Woman 1893 by Famous Russian Master Oil Painting on Canvas Frame
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Attributed by Nikolay Alekseyevich Kasatkin (1859 - 1930). In this touching artwork, the artist perfectly conveyed the character of the old woman, who has seen a lot in her life. The hands, tired out and riddled with veins, lie helplessly on the knees. Her slouched body tells us about the load of years lived. The painter skillfully conveys a sense of wisdom, kindness, and humility through her wrinkled face and detached gaze. The painting exudes warmth with a subtle touch of sadness and reflection on a life lived. Thanks to moderately contrasting colors, the portrait comes to life and shows us the depth of the artist's intention. Kasatkin not only continued the traditions of the best masters of portraiture in Russia in the 19th century, but also introduced new principles into it. He sought to display on canvas not only the external features of a person, but also to demonstrate his spiritual world. Antique oil painting on canvas, signed bottom left, framed. Size app.: 68.5 x 52.3 cm (roughly 27 x 20.6 in), frame is 80.5 x 63.5 cm (roughly 31.7 x 25 in). Very good condition, very well preserved recently conserved condition with minimal wear (notice few micro losses here and there). Please study good resolution images for cosmetic condition. In person actual painting may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 5.4 kg is going to measure 8 kg packed for shipment. Nikolay Alekseyevich Kasatkin (1859 - 1930) was a Russian painter, considered to be one of the founders of Social Realism in Russia. From 1873 to 1883 he studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture with Vasily Perov and Illarion Pryanishnikov. Upon graduating, he received a medal for his painting "Beggars at the Church Door". In 1891, he began exhibiting with the Peredvizhniki and, from 1894 to 1917, was a teacher at his alma mater. For thirty years, beginning in 1883, he worked with Ivan Sytin, providing illustrations for his popular almanac/calendars and teaching lithography. He also contributed The Great Reform, an encyclopedia that celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation (1861), and a collection called "Russian History in Pictures". In 1903, he became a member of the Imperial Academy of Arts. He participated in the Exposition Universelle (1900), where he won a silver medal, and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (1904), among others. In 1923, following the Civil War, he was named the first "People's Artist of the Republic" and became a member of the AKhRR (Association of Artists). He is considered to be one of the forerunners of Socialist Realism in the arts and was sometimes called the "Gorky of Painters". In 1956, the Soviet Union honored him with a 40 kopeck commemorative postage stamp. In 1971, his painting of a female mine worker...
