Semyon Shchedrin

1745-1804 RU

A.k.a. Semyon Fyodorovich Shchedrin

Semyon Fyodorovich Shchedrin (1745–1804) was a Russian landscape painter, the uncle and mentor of Sylvester Shchedrin.He was born in St. Petersburg into the family of a life guard. In 1759, he entered the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, and in 1765 graduated with a gold medal and grants to study abroad. Shchedrin ventured to Paris, then to Rome. In Paris he studied the works of old and contemporary painters. Under the influence of Rousseau's idea that beauty exists not only in classic patterns of arts but also in everyday life and nature, Shchedrin worked much en plein-air, otherwise known as painting in outdoor environments. In Rome, however, he fell under the influence of classicism, the idea that art should reflect the works of antiquity and thus prolong their successes.
