Nevrev N.V.
False Dmitry
#2
‘The False Dmitry at Vishnevetsky’s’ was painted by realist artist Nikolai Nevrev in 1876. However, the artist’s way to historic painting was long. In different periods of his life, Nevrev worked in various genres. In 1850-early 1860’s, he was more apt at portraits – Moscow aristocracy and famous actors posed for the young artist.

In 1860’s, Nevrev worked in the genre painting and also gained recognition. The Fine Arts Society awarded the first prize to the artist for his painting ‘Auction. From the Recent Past’ portraying the sale of serfs, and the painting was bought by collector Pavel Tretyakov. In 1870’s the artist gave up the profitable portrait painting and turned to historic subjects, with “The False Dmitry at Vishnevetsky”s” being one of them.

The event portrayed in the painting took place in 1604 at the Time of Troubles. A person – Grigory Otrepiev – came to the mansion of a wealthy polish person Adam Vishnevetsky.

“Duke Adam Vishnevetsky”, the owner of large estates in the south of Russia, a young man, a fun seeker, who liked to throw parties and demonstrate his aristocratic whims, — was ready for any quixotic and audacious act — a Ukrainian aristocrat! ’
— wrote historian Nikolai Kostomarov in his works.
#6
Otrepiev declared himself Dimitry, the son of Ivan the Terrible and asked Polish nobility to give him troops to return his throne. Nevrev portrayed the estate owner and a Polish priest. They are listening attentively to the False Dmitry, as they are also interested in a war with Moscow.
#7
The artist painted this work in an exquisite subdued palette using the method of so-called smooth painting, when the texture of brushstrokes cannot be seen. Nikolai Nevrev created this and two more painting on request of archaeologist, count Alexei Uvarov for the opening day of the Russian History Museum. The painting was well received in the society. Positive reviews were printed in newspapers and magazines. In 1881, the artist was invited to join the Association of Itinerants.
#8
His popularity, however, did not last long, critics did not appreciate his following paintings ‘Marina Mnishek in Moscow Prison’ and ‘Zakhar Lyapunov and Vasily Shuisky’. In 1894, Nevrev’s paintings were sold for the last time. The artist spent the money he was paid for charity, donating almost 8,000 rubles to a Ekaterininsk poor-house.

The painting “The False Dmitry at Vishnevetsky”s” was brought to Khanty-Mansiysk in 2001 when it was purchased by the regional Generations Foundation. Ten years later the painting was donated to the museum collection.
