Vorobyov Maxim Nikiforovich (1787-1855)
M.N. Vorobyov was the son of a soldier who rose to the rank of non-commissioned officer, and after retirement, he was hired as a caretaker at the Academy of Arts. Here the future artist was educated: in 1798 he was enrolled in the architectural class led by J.B.

A little later he performed a series of excellent views of Moscow, mainly painting the Kremlin.
Vorobyov became widely famous for his paintings created after a trip to the Middle East (1820-21): “Entrance to the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Jerusalem” (1822), “Interior view of the Church of Calvary in Jerusalem” (1824), “Interior view of the Armenian Church in Jerusalem" (1820s), etc. At the end of the 1820s. the artist also visited the theater of military operations on the Danube.

A widely educated man, a keen connoisseur of art, an outstanding violinist, Vorobyov early felt the need to abandon outdated forms and rules. He realized that it was time to turn directly to the study of nature. The first works in which Vorobyov’s originality was manifested were drawings and watercolors made at the Nikolskoye-Tverskoye estate of L. N. Lvov. In May 1812, on his way to Moscow, the young artist stopped at Lvov.

The first teacher was Professor Thomas de Thomon; the artist's subsequent mentors were Fyodor Yakovlevich Alekseev and, probably, the landscape painter Mikhail Matveevich Ivanov. The type of painting chosen by the young artist, or rather, assigned to him by his academic superiors, was architectural and landscape painting.
In 1809, Fyodor Yakovlevich Alekseev, a landscape painter of a decorative direction, a member of an expedition to study the historical areas of Central Russia, received young Vorobyov as an assistant to paint views of cities. To revive these species human figures Alekseev decided to depict episodes of visits to cities by the sovereign. This official task was completed by the artist Alekseev and the young Vorobyov with success. In 1813–1814, Vorobiev was present at the main apartment of Emperor Alexander I in Germany and France.
In 1820, Vorobiev made, on behalf of the government, a trip to Palestine, where he drew, measured and sketched everything the most important places revered by Christians. The difficulty of this enterprise was that all measurements and drawings had to be done secretly from the supervision of local Muslim authorities.
In addition to temples, Vorobyov painted several landscape views of Jerusalem and Dead Sea, and on the way to Palestine - views of Constantinople, the island of Rhodes, Smyrna, Jaffa and other cities. All these materials for future paintings were contained in 90 sheets watercolor drawings some sketchy, some very finished. Vorobyov's journey to the Holy Places was arranged by Nikolai Pavlovich, then still the Grand Duke, who wanted to restore the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in New Jerusalem, in the vicinity of Moscow, to its proper form.

During Turkish war in 1828, Vorobiev was part of the sovereign's retinue to draw and write sketches according to the instructions of his majesty. The fruit of this time were, among other things: “View of the siege of Varna”, “Explosion of Varna”, “View of Odessa”, “The ship during a storm on which the sovereign was”.
Deeply held memories of Jerusalem were brought back to life 16 years after the Palestinian journey (" General form Jerusalem", as well as "View of Constantinople from the Asian shore"). In 1840, the sad period of the artist’s life began; having lost his dearly beloved wife that year, Vorobiev began to degenerate morally for the worse, fell into excesses, which developed in him a disease from which he died in 1855. The last years of his life he studied mainly Italian views, based on sketches he made in the vicinity of Rome and Palermo during his travels of 1844–1846.
