Konstantin Makovsky Biography

Konstantin Makovsky (1839-1915) was a Russian painter and member of the Wanderers movement, a group of Russian artists who rejected the classicism of their nation's Academy in favor of a realist approach to art. His varied corpus includes genre paintings, historical scenes and portraits, but Makovsky is best known for capturing the women of Russian high society, who he depicted in a sumptuous manner that was much in demand during the artist's lifetime.
