Description

Dmitry Vasilyevich Grigorovich (March 31 [O.S. March 19] 1822 January 3 1900 [O.S. December 22, 1899]) was a Russian writer, artist, and art critic. Grigorovich was doubly an artist. His training as a painter and as the historian of art served him well in depicting the river landscape in every aspect. The landscape is described in all the varying seasons of the year. Many of the word pictures are veritable poems. Village life is also described with humor and realism. This is especially notable when some of the peasants visit the annual market, where episodes of traffic and of drunkenness occur. (wikipedia.org)
