 2blowhards.com: Peripheral Artists (3): Valentin Serov
Portraitist Valentin Alexanrovich Serov, son of opera composer Alexander N. Serov, was born in St. Petersburg 19 January 1865.
Serov clearly was the antithesis of the proverbial "struggling artist," rapidly becoming a leading portrait painter whose subjects included the Czar (though he also painted landscapes and historical subjects) and being elected academician of the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts before his 40th birthday.
There is nothing atypical in Serov's sympathies, as in the court painter - remember the biggest Russian industrialists, like Morozovs, were funding bolshevik revolution, and famous actress Maria Andreeva, 2nd wife of proletarian writer Gorky, served as a liason in the dirty deed.
