Popov Andrei Andreevich (1832-1896)

Having received the first lessons in drawing and color rendering in the family, Andrei Andreevich Popov, a native of Tula, was brought to St. Petersburg in 1846 and given to the Academy of Arts, where he was a student of M.N. Vorobiev and B.P. Villevalde.

Young artist quite successfully mastered the fine arts, receiving silver and gold medals for depicting, mainly, scenes from folk life. Per thesis A. Popov gets a big gold medal and the opportunity to go on a trip abroad at the expense of the Academy. By this time, he had repeatedly become a participant in academic exhibitions, and his works "Return from the city", "Portrait of the children of the city of Yazykov", "Demyanova's ear" introduced the audience to the growing master genre painting. During a postponed business trip abroad (1860-1862), the artist works intensively and exhibits for the judgment of colleagues and spectators the canvases: Praying Mantis, The Artist's Workshop. Foreign trip A.A. Popova took place in Paris (1863-1865) and Rome (1865-1867).

Upon his return to Russia, the name of the artist was heard by professionals and amateurs alike. Collectors are interested in his paintings. However, since the beginning of the 1870s, the name of the artist has been mentioned less and less even among connoisseurs. visual arts, and since 1873, paintings by A.A. Popova finally disappear from exhibitions. By this time, the Association of Travelers is beginning to gain strength. art exhibitions. Unfortunately, the paths of the original genre painter A.A. Popov and this association did not intersect.

Popov Andrey Andreevich(1832–1896) is a well-known Russian genre painter.
Andrei Andreevich Popov became a landmark figure for the Russian painting XIX century. Having received an excellent education from his own father, the young talent, fueled by universal recognition, gradually grew into a great master painter.

Andrei Andreevich Popov was born in 1832 in Tula in the family of a little-known provincial artist. Under the guidance of his father, a provincial painter, he received initial artistic training. In 1846 he entered the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, where his teachers were first M. Vorobiev, and later B. Villevalde.
From the very beginning of his already adult creative way, Andrey Popov showed great promise as an artist. With his lively and interesting manner of depicting images, the artist won great sympathy among painters and art historians, both professionals and ordinary amateurs. He took an active part in academic exhibitions, where he presented his work. a wide range connoisseurs - painters.

Popov enjoyed the support of the Society for the Encouragement of Artists. His painting Demyanov's Ear (based on the plot of Krylov's fable) at the academic exhibition of 1857 made a great impression on the public with the characteristic and expressiveness of the depicted faces and with its sound comicality. She delivered a small gold medal to the artist. At the same time, he exhibited paintings: "Return from the city" and "Portrait of the children of Mr. Yazykov."

In 1860, the best of all Popov's works appeared: "Tea Warehouse at the Nizhny Novgorod Fair." This painting became the apogee of the artist's creative path, raising him to the peak of his artistic career. This painting brought the artist a large gold medal and the title of " cool artist I degree", after which Andrey Andreevich Popov went on a trip in 1863, having provided his paintings "Praying Mantis" and "Artist's Workshop" to the academic exhibition of 1861.

Popov spent the term of his foreign retirement in Paris and Rome, from where he returned to St. Petersburg in 1867 and brought back a painting painted there: "Festivities on Monte Piño." This was his last work, not without merit, but incomparably weaker than his first paintings. Upon his return to Russia, the name of the artist was heard by professionals and amateurs. Collectors were keenly interested in his paintings. However, since the beginning of the 1870s, the name of the artist was mentioned less and less even among connoisseurs of fine art, and since 1873, paintings by A.A. Popova finally disappear from exhibitions.
In general, the brilliant hopes that Popov gave at the beginning of his career did not come true: due to his illness and the resulting decline in energy, he worked weaker and weaker, and in the end he almost completely stopped painting.

Unfortunately, Andrei Andreevich Popov did not leave a great creative legacy. Having an extraordinary view of things, everyday situations, and life in general, the artist could create much more, however, fate, extremely unfavorable to the artist, prevented the implementation of all his bold plans ...
Andrei Andreevich Popov died on June 24, 1896 at the age of 64 in his native Tula, where he was buried.

Andrei Andreevich Popov entered the history of Russian painting as bright representative genre painting XIX century. This genre is located at the junction of several pictorial trends and is a kind of symbiosis of portrait, still life and landscape. In the center of the genre picture is always the interaction of characters with each other. The background for a genre painting can be ordinary city life with its everyday chores or people on vacation.
Several of the artist's works adorn the exposition of the Russian Museum, a number of the artist's paintings are in private collections.
