Lot 110. KRACHKOVSKY, Iosif Evstafievich (1854-1914).<br />
Forest Path. Oil on canvas (600 x 500 mm). Signed lower right.<br />
Krachkovsky's charming style melds the academic traditions of classical <strong>Russian</strong> landscape painting with his own<br />
uniquely realistic qualities. Classically educated at St. Petersburg's Academy of <strong>Art</strong>s, he studied under the tutelage of<br />
legendary Mikhail Konstantinovich Klodt, a founding member of the Peredvizhniki movement. Upon receiving a<br />
four year grant from the Academy to study abroad, he traveled through Europe exploring the scenic landscape and<br />
creating work that was later exhibited at the institute. His first European exhibit soon followed his return to Russia<br />
with shows in Paris and Nice in 1908.<br />
