metadata.value: Despite the existing body of literature on Paul Delaroche, this article is the first attempt to
  seriously assess his reception in nineteenth-century Russia. A study of how Delaroche was received
  by Russian critics, collectors and artists allows us take a new look both at the scale of his
  significance for nineteenth-century art as a whole and at certain key aspects of Russian artistic
  culture. The author analyses reviews of Delaroche’s work in the Russian press, including some
  never previously discussed, and comments on Horace Vernet’s celebrated statement that: “The
  emperor [Nicholas I] spoke with me at length about Delaroche. He has all his prints”. Looking
  at Anatoly Demidov’s patronage of Delaroche, the article also touches on the Russian collector’s
  relations with the tsar. The new concept of the “genre historique” that originated with
  Delaroche was taken up and developed most productively in Russia in the 1860s and 1870s, as
  the author demonstrates through an analysis of paintings by Vyacheslav Schwarz and Nikolay
  Ge, noting that their treatment of subjects from history was possible only in the more liberal
  age of Alexander II. It was under Delaroche’s influence that both Schwarz and Ge created typologically
  new images of power and of the monarch (of Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great).
  In conclusion, the author draws attention to the paradoxical nature of Western self-identification
  by Russian nineteenth-century artists, which can be explained in part through a study of
  the Russian reception of the art of Delaroche.
