Julius von Klever

His father was a chemist who taught pharmacology at the Veterinary Institute. He displayed artistic talent at an early age and took lessons from Konstantin von Kügelgen. After completing his primary education, was enrolled at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts where, at his father's insistence, he studied architecture. After a short time, however, he began to take landscape painting classes; first with Sokrat Vorobiev, then Mikhail Clodt. == The artist's legacy ==

Von Klever's works are in the State Russian Museum, State Tretyakov Gallery, Odesa Fine Arts Museum, museums in Zaraisk, Barnaul, Vladimir, Volgograd, Kaluga, Kozmodemyansk, Kostroma, Krasnodar, Lipetsk, Veliky Novgorod, Sevastopol, Semey, Serpukhov, Stavropol, Syktyvkar, Tambov, Ulyanovsk, Almaty, Yerevan, Voronezh; in private collections. The quick success of Von Klever gave him many orders. Sometimes creating a picture a day, Klever began to quickly brush over the underpainting, made by his assistants. This is how numerous works by "Von Klever and the Studio" appeared. The most famous of his collaborators was Prince Nikolai Obolensky. Count Muravyov was named among the successors of the Klever style in painting. == Selected paintings ==
