Born near Kiev in 1864, Yakov Brovar trained at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St Petersburg. He attended the studios of Mikhail Klodt, a founding member of the Peredvizhniki, and Arkhip Kuindzhi, who was admired by his contemporaries for his daring experiments with lighting effects. From 1894 Brovar's sun-drenched views of lush Ukrainian countryside featured in a number of exhibitions in St Petersburg and Moscow, notably the 30th Itinerant Exhibition in 1902. Brovar's close affiliation with Kuindzhi, who was forced to leave the Peredvizhniki in 1880, meant that from the early 1910s he started distancing himself from the group.
