Historical Artist - Alexei Harlamov (1842 - 1922)
Alexej Harlamoff left his native Russia to move to Paris and begin a career in painting. He
attended the Academy of the Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg and admired and copied the work of
Rembrandt. While working in Russia, he painted many portraits of the aristocracy. Harlamloff was
best remembered for his portraits of children and young girls. He regularly exhibited at the
French Salon and won a second-class medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1878. Harlamoff
learned his skills copying old master paintings such as Rembrandt's Anatomy Lessons. He painted
many military scenes and covered religious subjects in his early years.
