P.S. Alexei Chernyshev Filippovich

(1824-1863) - painter, a genre painter, son of Orenburg tradesman, a child practicing in painting under the guidance of an old first iconographer, and then - one of his relatives. Head of the Orenburg region VA Perovskiy, noting a 17-year-old boy, sent him in 1841 in St. Petersburg. and helped him to enter the Academy of Fine Arts Society for the Encouragement of Artists pensioner. The academy was a disciple of Charles Professor M. H. Vorobyov and initially studied landscape, but then turned to the image of everyday scenes. Since 1848 the development of his talent quickly moved forward this year received a silver medal for the "View in Finland," it a year after he was awarded a large medal for his "home stage of the common people of Finnish life," and a year later awarded a small gold medal for the painting "Farewell departing officer and his family," and finally, in 1851 and released from the academy with the rank of the class artist, and a large gold medals awarded to him for a picture painted on the program, "Engagement." All of these works, as well as painting "organ grinder", who was on academic exhibition in 1852 (now in the Moscow Public Museum), and especially entertaining, brisk graceful figures Charles, shows his wit and subtle observation, and differed in a large number of Highest ladies albums and Art Lovers (they acquired him the title of court painter with a salary of 600 rubles. per year), leads us to expect from him in future works more shops. Sadly, these expectations were not fulfilled. As a pet academy award a large gold medal, in 1853, Charles went to further its improvements to Italy with the content of the government and moved to Rome. Here he continued to work, but not with the same assiduity and success. The reason - beginning of his serious illness befell - a softening of the brain. Dejected hypochondriasis, easing rheumatic pains and vision, he sought healing in Vienna, in northern France and in Switzerland, but in vain: the disease inexorably undermined his nature and at the same time killed his talent. Filled with pictures of foreign lands C., "The Roman pifferari before Madonna" (located in the Moscow Public Museum), "The attack on Italian gangsters diligence," "The Fish Market in Brittany" and others were much weaker than his previous works. Although the academy, to return it in 1860 from abroad, it has erected for them in the title of academician. After he increasingly lost the ability to work, and gradually extinguished, was finally placed in a St. Petersburg institution for the mentally ill Stein, where he died.
