Dmitry Levitzky was a Russian painter and photographer, the son of Count Sergei Levitzky, one of the founders of photography in Russia and Europe. He studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg under Pavel Chistyakov, Vasily Perov and Vasily Polenov.

He participated in the Peredvizhniki movement and exhibited his paintings of landscapes, genre scenes and portraits. He also helped his father in his photographic studio and took portraits of many famous Russian figures, such as Alexander III, Nicholas II, and Napoleon III. He was recognized for his mastery of natural and artificial light and his artistic expression in photography. He died in 1822 and was buried in St. Petersburg.
