About the artist
Mikhail Ivanovich Makhaev was one of Russia’s most celebrated painters and engravers, and in 1760 produced another album of prints of Kuskovo, made in a similar elegant and refined style. His drawings of St Petersburg were painstakingly observed and drawn, but are also valuable visual documents that reveal to a modern audience, the confidence, style and beauty of St Petersburg at the moment of its historic anniversary, and which are complement the city’s profile in 2003, its 300th anniversary. Makhaev’s work can be found today in the collections of the Historical Museum, Moscow, and the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
