About me / Bio:
Nikolay Kasatkin was born in Moscow to a family of an estate owner and started his education in the Kazan University, but broke off studying to enlist in the Russian Army during the Crimean War. In 1856 after retirement from the Army he decided to abandon his University studies and pursue an artistic career instead. In 1856-1861 he studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts, receiving a small gold medal for his painting "Serene Holiday of a Beggar" (1860). In 1861 he painted what may be his most notable painting "The Prisoner's Rest". In 1861-1869 Jacobi traveled to Europe with an Academy grant, visiting Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy. In 1870 Jacobi became one of the founding members of the Peredvizhniki art society. But in 1872 he was excluded for his failure to participate in a society exhibition and his general disagreement with the ideals of the society. Later he was considered a conservative, sceptical to the Peredvizhniki's ideas. Jacobi was a member of the Imperial Academy of Arts after 1868, became a professor in 1871 and taught at the Academy from 1878-1889. He lived mostly in Saint Petersburg creating historical paintings like "Jesters at the Court of Anna Ioanovna" (1872), "Ice Palace" (1878), etc. His works were criticized as purely decorative and lacking in substance. After a major reorganization of the Academy in 1891, he was dismissed and began dividing his time between Saint Petersburg, Algeria and France. Jacobi died in 1930 in Moscow. His works were recognized as a new word in art and inspired many Russian realist and symbolist painters of the second half of the 19th century.
