About Albert Bredow
Albert was a painter of landscapes, portraits and genre scenes, and was a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg and of the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, under the guidance of the painter German Painter Wilhelm von Kaulbach (1805 – 1874).
Roedd yn aelod o'r Peredvizhniki (Crwydriaid) symudiad; which was a group of Russian realist artists who rejected the restrictions of academic art and advocated for the use of contemporary life as a subject matter, and was one of the leading painters of the movement, gyda'i weithiau'n cael eu hystyried yn gampweithiau Realaeth Rwsiaidd.
Mae tirweddau a golygfeydd genre Bredow yn adnabyddus am eu sylw i fanylion, a'i ddefnydd o oleuni, gan fod y defnydd o liw a gwead yn tueddu i gyfleu ymdeimlad o gefn gwlad Rwsia, a'r bobl sy'n mynd o gwmpas eu bywydau bob dydd.
Roedd yn arbennig o fedrus wrth ddal cymeriad ac awyrgylch unigryw'r rhanbarthau y bu'n gweithio ynddynt; ac yr oedd hefyd yn adnabyddus am ei bortreadau, a oedd yn aml o bobl leol, gyda phwyslais arbennig ar eu gwaith a'u proffesiynau.
Ystyrir bod gwaith Bredow yn yr arddull Realaidd, sy'n pwysleisio cynrychiolaeth gywir ymddangosiad gweledol y gwrthrych, ac yn aml gyda neges gymdeithasol neu wleidyddol.
