Silvestr Feodosievitš Štšedrin

Silvestr Feodosievitš Štšedrin is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

Finnish-Russian painter Silvestr Štšedrin painted city scenes and landscapes in the early 19th century. He captured St. Petersburg’s waterfront and grand squares in works like Näkymä Pietarista, showing canal boats and classical buildings under gray skies. His brushwork is careful and restrained, never flashy.

The buildings and streets stand still, the light is cool, and the water stays calm. To see this view of imperial Russia, tap into Näkymä Pietarista.
