Alexei Alexeiewitsch Harlamoff - Biography

Alexei Alexeiewitsch Harlamoff was born in Saratov, in 1849. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in St Petersburg where in 1868 he was awarded a gold medal and travel scholarship. At this time, the academy taught and promoted the neo-classical techniques and topics. Harlamoff’s earliest works were therefore mainly of religious and military subjects.

This change caused a move towards greater naturalism.

Harlamoff took up his scholarship at L’ Ecole des Beaux-Arts where he was fortunate to study under the great portrait painter Leon Bonnat.

Paintings by Alexei Alexeiewitsch Harlamoff in the Nov 2007 Willow Gallery collection include "Daydreaming" and "The Artists Daughter".
