Om Albert Bredow
Albert var en maler av landskap, portretter og sjangerscener, og var elev ved Kunstakademiet, St.. Petersburg og ved Kunstakademiet, München, under veiledning av den tyske maleren Wilhelm von Kaulbach (1805 – 1874).
Han var medlem av Peredvizhniki (Vandrere) bevegelse; som var en gruppe russiske realistiske kunstnere som avviste restriksjonene til akademisk kunst og tok til orde for bruken av samtidslivet som et tema, og var en av bevegelsens ledende malere, med verkene hans som ble betraktet som mesterverk av russisk realisme.
Bredows landskap og sjangerscener er kjent for sin oppmerksomhet på detaljer, og hans bruk av 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.
