Aleksandr Alekseevich Borisov (Russian 1866-1934) was an artist, writer, public figure and most remembered today as an early Russian researcher of the polar regions. He was born on November 2, 1866, in the village of Deep Creek, near Krasnoborsk, Vologda. At age 15, he entered the famous Solovetsky monastery on the White Sea in Northern Russia. There he apprenticed in the icon-painting workshop. When the president of the Academy of Arts, Grand Duke Vladimir Alesandrovich visited the monastery, Borisov's work was made known to him and in 1886, he moved to St. Petersburg where he entered the Academy of Arts under a scholarship.
In 1894, Borisov undertook his first of what would be many trips north where he produced a number of works which later received favorable attention when exhibited at the academy in 1887. In 1890, Borisov and companions embarked on an exploration to the Polar Regions where they mapped, collected specimens, and where Borisov produced sketches and studies. His works produced from this adventure were exhibited at the spring exhibitions in St. Petersburg in 1900, where they were an immediate success, drawing the attention of the Imperial family as well as foreign interest.
In 1902, at the invitation of the Vienna Society of Artists, Borisov exhibited at the Austrian capital. This was followed by exhibitions in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Paris, London, and the United States. After a whirlwind of travel and successful exhibitions, Borisov returned to northern Russia where he painted until his death in 1934.
Joanny Benoît Peytel (French 1844-1924) was a noted patron of the arts. In business, he was Director of the Compagnie de l'Ouest Algerien, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Credit Algerien and Director of Credit Foncier. Peytel was also a longtime supporter of the sculptor Rodin and also gifted a number of important works to the Louvre in 1914, including Watteau's Singerie, Millet's Self-Portrait, Sisley's Aisne in Autumn, as well as a precious series of Oriental art objects.SHIPPING NOTICE:
