Artist
Andrey Bolotov
Andrey Bolotov is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Hermitage Museum.
He kept a frog in his studio as a roommate, partly for company and partly because it hopped onto his brushes when he needed a break. This Russian artist painted the first known Russian self-portrait in oil, looking straight at us with a face that’s more weather-beaten than vain. Slide over to Gallery Tiles and tap “Self-Portrait, 1763” to see the brushwork that made him the country’s first home-grown oil painter.
