      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Alexei Savrasov was a Russian landscape painter and creator of the lyrical landscape style. Savrasov was born into the family of a merchant. He began to draw early and in 1838 he enrolled as a student of professor Rabus at the Moscow School of painting, sculpturing and architecture (graduated in 1850), and immediately began to specialize in landscape painting.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Winter 1870</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1852, he traveled to Ukraine. Then, in 1854 by the invitation of the Grand Duchess Maria Nikolayevna, President of the Imperial Academy of Arts, he moved to the neighborhood of St. Petersburg. In 1857, Savrasov became a teacher at the Moscow School of painting, sculpturing and architecture. His best disciples, Isaac Levitan and Konstantin Korovin, remembered their teacher with admiration and gratitude.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/savrasov/Savrasov_Rainbow1873.jpg" alt="Rainbow 1873" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Rainbow 1873</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1857, he married Sophia Karlovna Hertz, sister of art historian K. Hertz. In their home they entertained artistic people and collectors including Pavel Tretyakov. Savrasov became especially close with Vasily Perov. Perov helped him paint the figures of the boat trackers in Savrasov’s Volga near Yuryevets, Savrasov painted landscapes for Perov’s Bird catcher and Hunters on Bivouac.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/savrasov/Savrasov_RusticView.jpg" alt="Rustic View 1867" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Rustic View 1867</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In the 1860s, he traveled to England to see the International Exhibition, and to Switzerland. In one of his letters he wrote that no academies in the world could so advance an artist as the present world exhibition. The painters who influenced him most were British painter John Constable and Swiss painter Alexandre Calame.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/savrasov/Savrasov_SukharevTowers.jpg" alt="Sukharev Tower 1872" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Sukharev Tower 1872</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Rooks Have Come Back (1871) is considered by many critics to be the high point in Savrasov’s artistic career. Using a common, even trivial, episode of birds returning home, and an extremely simple landscape, Savrasov emotionally showed the transition of nature from winter to spring. It was a new type of lyrical landscape painting, called later by critics the mood landscape. The painting brought him fame.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/savrasov/Savrasov_TheRooksHaveComeBack.jpg" alt="The Rooks Have Come Back 1871" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Rooks Have Come Back 1871</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1870, he became a member of the Peredvizhniki group, breaking with government-sponsored academic art. In 1871, after the death of his daughter, there was a crisis in his art. The misfortunes in his personal life and, possibly, dissatisfaction with his artistic career were the reasons of his tragedy—he became an alcoholic. All attempts of his relatives and friends to help him were in vain.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/savrasov/Savrasov_WinterNight.jpg" alt="Winter Night 1869" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Winter Night 1869</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">The last years of his life Savrasov led the life of a pauper, wandering from shelter to shelter. Only the doorkeeper of the Moscow School of painting, sculpturing and architecture and Pavel Tretyakov, founder of the Tretyakov Gallery, were present at his funeral in 1897.
