Biography

Summarize

Perspective

Valery Jacobi was born to a family of an estate owner and started his education in the Kazan University, but broke off studying to enlist in the Imperial Russian Army,^[1] specifically in the Siberian Volunteer Corps,^[4] during the Crimean War. In 1856, after retirement from the Army, he decided to abandon his University studies and pursue an artistic career instead.^[1]

In 1856–1861, he studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts, receiving a small gold medal for his painting "Serene Holiday of a Beggar" (1860). In 1861 he painted what may be his most notable painting "The Prisoner's Rest". In 1861–1869, Jacobi traveled to Europe with an Academy grant, visiting Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy.^[1]

In 1870, Jacobi became one of the founding members of the Peredvizhniki art society. However, in 1872, he was excluded for his failure to participate in a society exhibition,^[1] and for his general disagreement with the ideals of the society.^[4] Later, he was considered a conservative, sceptical to the ideas of the Peredvizhniki.

Jacobi was elected as an Imperial Academician in 1868, became a professor in 1871 and taught at the Academy from 1878 to 1889.^[2] He lived mostly in Saint Petersburg creating historical paintings, such as the Jesters at the Court of Anna Ioanovna (1872) and Ice Palace (1878). His works were criticized as purely decorative and lacking in substance.^[4]

Some time before the Imperial Academy was reformed in 1893, Jacobi retired from service; he lived mostly abroad since then, mostly in Algeria and France. Virtually obscure among newer masters,^[5] Jacobi died in Nice in 1902; he is interred into the Caucade Cemetery.
