He was born in Russia in 1877, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, as an artist, he traveled extensively in Europe and in the USA and finally settled in New England. He is probably best known for seascapes, particularly of the New England coastline, but was also well regarded for his landscapes, portraits and figures, and genre subjects.
