Alexei Korzukhin Paintings!

Alexey Ivanovich Korzukhin (Russian: Алексей Иванович Корзухин; 23 March 1835, Perm Governorate — 30 October 1894, Saint Petersburg) was a Russian genre painter.
He was born into a family of gold prospectors near Yekaterinburg. As a young man, he worked in a local railway factory and the mint. He had started painting when he was still a child so, in 1858, he entered the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts where he studied under Pyotr Basin and Fyodor Bruni. In 1861, he was awarded a gold medal and a stipend for travelling expenses. However, in 1863, he became a member of the "Revolt of the Fourteen", a group of students who favored Realism and were protesting the Academy's insistence on painting in the Classical style. He and the others withdrew from the Academy, accepting the designation of "Artist Second-Class". Shortly thereafter, he joined the Artel of Artists, an artistic commune, and remained with them until they disbanded in 1871. He also became a member of the "Association of Travelling Art Exhibitions" (Peredvizhniki) and taught drawing at the "Society for the Encouragement of the Arts".
In 1865, his painting "Wake in the Village Cemetery" earned him the rank of "Artist First-Class" and, three years later, he was named an Academician. In addition to his paintings of daily life, he did portraits and religious works. These include icons and depictions of the Four Fathers of the Church at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour; wall paintings at the Ascension Cathedral in Yelets; and thirteen images for the narthex of Nativity Cathedral, Riga. He also exhibited widely, including the Second Annual International Exhibition in London (1872), the Weltausstellung in Vienna (1873) and the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia (1876).
He was a witness to the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881. This resulted in severe nervous shock and he never fully recovered his health.

Alexeï Ivanovitch Korzoukhine (en russe : Алексей Иванович Корзухин), né le 23 mars 1835 à Iekaterinbourg, mort le 30 octobre 1894 à Saint-Pétersbourg, est un peintre russe.
En 1858 il commence ses études à l'Académie impériale des beaux-arts de Saint-Pétersbourg. En 1860, il remporte le premier prix pour son tableau Le Père ivre. En 1864, il participe à la fondation de l'artel des artistes, après la Révolte des Quatorze.
Korzoukhine reçoit le grade d'artiste du premier degré pour sa toile Commémoration dans un cimetière de campagne (1865) et celui d'académicien pour Le Père de retour de la foire. En 1870, il est membre fondateur du groupe artistique des Ambulants. En 1891, il peint La Cène du Seigneur pour une cathédrale de Riga.
Il doit sans doute sa célébrité à ses nombreux portraits, tous remarquables pour leur subtile profondeur psychologique.
