About Albert Bredow
Albert var en landskabsmaler, portrætter og genrescener, og var elev af Kunstakademiet, St. Petersborg og Kunstakademiet, München, under vejledning af den tyske maler Wilhelm von Kaulbach (1805 – 1874).
Han var medlem af Peredvizhniki (Vandrere) bevægelse; som var en gruppe russiske realistiske kunstnere, der afviste begrænsningerne af akademisk kunst og talte for brugen af det moderne liv som emne., og var en af bevægelsens førende malere, med hans værker, der betragtes som mesterværker af russisk realisme.
Bredows landskaber og genrescener er kendt for deres opmærksomhed på detaljer, og hans brug af lys, as the use of color and texture tend to convey a sense of the Russian countryside, and the people going about their daily lives.
He was particularly adept at capturing the unique character and atmosphere of the regions in which he worked; and was also known for his portraits, which were often of local people, with a special emphasis on their work and professions.
Bredow’s work is considered to be in the Realist style, which emphasizes the accurate representation of the visual appearance of the subject, and often with a social or political message.
