Twighlight in Riga
Nikolay Bogdanov-Belsky was a Russian painter and art teacher who was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born in 1868 in St. Petersburg and studied art at the Imperial Academy of Arts, where he later taught. Bogdanov-Belsky was known for his landscape paintings, which were inspired by his travels through Russia and Europe. He was particularly interested in capturing the mood and atmosphere of the natural world, and his paintings often featured soft, muted colors and a sense of quiet solitude.
Bogdanov-Belsky was a member of the Peredvizhniki, a group of Russian painters who were known for their commitment to realist art and their focus on social and political issues. He was also a founding member of the Union of Russian Artists and served as its president from 1906 to 1911. In addition to his work as a painter, Bogdanov-Belsky was also an art teacher, and he taught at the Imperial Academy of Arts and other institutions throughout his career. He died in 1945 in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg).
