Alexey Tyranov
(1808 ¨C 1859)
Alexey Vasilyevich Tyranov, one of the best pupils of Alexey Venetsianov, was born into the family of a petty bourgeois. When a teenager, he painted icons. In 1824, Venetsianov saw his works and invited the youth to his School. His works Self-Portrait (1825), Weavers (1826), View on the River Tosna (1827), are painted in Venetsianov¡¯s style, they are full of serenity and peace. Venetsianov managed to make Tyranov a free student of the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, organized for him admission in the Hermitage with a right to work there. For his pictures View of Hermitage Library (1826) and View of the Big Church of the Winter Palace (1829), painted on the basis of Venetsianov¡¯s methods, Tyranov got a Minor and Major Gold Medals of the Academy. He became popular. In 1832, the Academy of Arts awarded him the title of a freelance painter. In the 1830s-40s, Tyranov was the most popular portrait-painter in St. Petersburg, his popularity could be compared only to that of Karl Brulloff. In 1836, Tyranov became a disciple of Brulloff and started to imitate his style.
In 1839-43, Tyranov, as a pensioner of the Academy, worked in Italy, where he fell in love with one of his models. He brought her to St. Petersburg. This passion ruined him. In a year, robbed and abandoned by his ¡®goddess¡¯, he found himself in a hospital. He could never recover physically and morally from that stress. His latest works Italian Woman (1851), Fight for Soul are lifeless and academic. Very sick he died in 1859.
