Karl Pavlovitš Brjullov is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

This Russian-born artist spent years sketching Italian street life between commissions, always with a pocketful of charcoal stubs. He painted The Last Days of Pompeii so big, over 4.5 meters wide, that he had to teach himself fresco techniques on the fly. Why he matters: tap his copy of that apocalyptic scene, or hunt for the tiny dog in the corner that got most of the attention from 19th-century viewers.
