Welcome

Alexei Bogoliubov is an outstanding and significant figure for Russian culture – but one unfortunately not well known to a wide circle of art lovers. He lived a long and eventful life. He began his career as a naval officer at the fortress of Sveaborg (in Helsinki, Finland; today known as Suomenlinna), studied at the St Petersburg Academy of Art, and became a noted painter of seascapes.
