Konstantin Makovsky (1839—1915, Russia)
History paintings
Makovsky was an influential Russian painter, affiliated with the Peredvizhniki school of Realism. While some of his work reacts against the Academy, he found success in the Salon alongside other Academic painters, and his work can be seen as perhaps related to the French movement of Academic Naturalism. Many of his historical paintings showed an idealised, Romantic view of Russian life of prior centuries, with a particular focus on Boyar people and culture. He was also a popular and prolific portrait painter.

Far out in the woods servants vyle
Have their shrine
To mate with their master
In nockturnal rite
An orgy of riches & infinite lust
Lorde Satan is gen'rous
Yet obey him they must
