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.

“You are the living fountain of hope. Hope is the one station where the great train of eternity makes a brief stop. You are the living fountain of hope for, without hope, there is no chance for life.
“The person’s life is hope, it is hope that I invite your eyes to seek–your eyes that have been sharpened in these days by the many voices you have heard.
“O Lady, among mortals you are the living fountain of hope.
“The figure of Our Lady is truly the figure of hope, the certainty that in the pavilions of the universe (as medieval people would say) she is the spring of water that can be heard running day and night, night and day.”
~ Luigi Giussani. August, 2002, Rimini Italy.
