His canvases are sharp, ironic observations of mid-19th century Russian society — petty officials, provincial merchants, pretentious aristocrats, and domestic dramas rendered with meticulous detail and biting satire. Fedotov did not just paint scenes; he painted moral critiques, exposing vanity, hypocrisy, and human weaknesses through brilliantly composed genre scenes filled with telling details and psychological insight.Trained and tested on Krea2 Turbo.<hr /><h2 id="about-the-artist">About the Artist</h2>Pavel Andreyevich Fedotov (June 22 [July 4], 1815, Moscow — November 14 [26], 1852, St. Petersburg) was a Russian painter and graphic artist, the founder of critical realism in Russian art, and one of the most important satirists in 19th-century Russian culture<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="http://ru.wikipedia.org">ru.wikipedia.org</a>.<ul><li>Military background: Served in the Finland Regiment from 1834 to 1844, rising to the rank of captain;
