Aleksei Bogoljubov

Aleksei Bogoljubov painted seascapes and harbor scenes in the mid-1800s Baltic tradition. His painting Kronstadtin ankkuripaikka shows the Russian naval base at anchor, where tall ships and steamers crowd the waterfront. Look for the red lighthouse on the pier, it’s the same one still standing today.

Next, tap the harbor at Kronstadt to compare how artists like Bogoljubov framed the same docks over time.
