About the artist: Vladimir Donatovich Orlovsky - Born into a noble family of Ukrainian origin, the artist's father was a wealthy Kyiv landowner. He received his initial art education at the Second Kyiv Gymnasium under I. M. Soshenko. He later moved to St. Petersburg and enrolled in the Imperial Academy of Arts in A. P. Bogolyubov's class. While in St. Petersburg, Vladimir Orlovsky became acquainted with the works of many master marine painters. He also became familiar with the works of T. G. Shevchenko. He began painting in oils even before entering the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts in 1861, where he made rapid progress, earning the Academy's Grand Silver Medal in 1863. During his studies, he painted sketches in Crimea, the Kyiv Province, Karelia, the Grand Duchy of Finland, and the Caucasus.1868 - Graduated from the St. Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts with the title of Class Artist, 1st Class, and received a Grand Gold Medal (1867) for his Crimean views, along with the right to travel abroad at the Academy's expense. For three years (1869-1872), he worked as an "Academy pensioner" in Paris, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy.For his paintings "Before the Squall," "Sunset," "Swamp," "In the Steppe," "Bonfire in the Field," "Sowing," "Forest Felling," and "Sands," which were exhibited at the Academy Exhibition, he was awarded the title of Academician of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts in 1874.[9] In 1878, for his paintings "Haymaking," "Breakwater at Pozzuoli," "Morning on the Shore of the Gulf of Naples," and "On the Sea Before a Storm," he was confirmed as a Professor of Landscape Painting, which granted him the right to teach.[9] Subsequently, he became a member of the Council of the St. Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts.He participated in the activities of N. I. Murashko's Kyiv Drawing School and in the organization of the Kyiv Art School. He taught at the Academy of Arts, particularly under Vladimir Kazantsev, a later renowned Ural landscape artist.For several years afterward, he painted motifs gleaned from Taitsy (in the St. Petersburg province) and Gatchina. Finally, from 1885 to 1890, he painted seascapes, which he had previously dabbled in.Orlovsky's paintings, initially somewhat uninhibited ("The Village of Kokaz in Crimea," 1868, included in the collection of the Academy of Arts), gradually became broader, and his color palette became richer. A skilled draftsman, Orlovsky included well-posed and positioned figures in his paintings.The artist's paintings are extremely diverse both in their setting (from Finland to Crimea) and in their subject matter (a cloudy day, a winter moonlit night, sunset, autumn flood, etc.). He painted swamps, overgrown ponds, as well as meadows and fields, birch and hornbeam forests, giving them a romanticized appearance, playing with light; however, his specialty is primarily open vistas, not forest interiors. Orlovsky is more often a keen observer of nature than a seeker of poetic moods, although he is not without the latter (for example, "Winter Moonlit Night," which was part of the collection of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich). His seascapes are remarkable for their detailed drawing rather than their coloring ("Val," 1888, was acquired by Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich).Small works, more like studies, are distinguished by a particularly direct perception. Here, the artist closely approaches real nature. Although they lack the soft plein air quality that blurs the sharp edges of form, the artist meticulously depicts every blade of grass and flower, yet the sun, with its warm, bright light, unites this world into a single, harmonious whole. This world contains nature, the tangible realities of everyday life, and, of course, the people who live and work on the land. With just two or three, almost miniature brushstrokes, Orlovsky paints figures of women raking hay in a meadow, fishermen in boats, and peasant women feeding livestock in the yard.Other paintings by him include:"Hunters' Rest in a White Beech Forest" (1882),"Clouds over the Sea" (1885),"Cloudy Day" (1889).? ??"Herd in the Forest" (1881). The painting is on display at the Kostroma State Historical, Architectural, and Art Museum-Reserve. He painted extensively for the aristocracy of Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as for the royal family. He was as popular as Ivan Aivazovsky, and the influence of Aleksey Kuindzhi is evident in his work.He died in Nervi, Italy. He is buried in Kyiv, at the Lukyanovsky Cemetery (section 17, row 1, site 29).
