Alexej Alexejewitsch Harlamoff - Biography

Alexej Alexejewitsch 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.

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.
