Among the "young peredvizhniki" who joined the World of Art group, the most brilliant portraitist was Valentin Serov.Like many of his contemporaries, he delighted in painting out of doors, and some of his most appealing portraits - such as Girl with Peaches, Girl in Sunlight and In Summer - owe their naturalness to their setting or to the interplay of sunlight and shadows.Indeed, Serov regarded them as "studies" rather than portraits, giving them descriptive titles that omitted the sitter's name.The subject of Girl with Peaches - painted when Serov was only twenty-two - was in fact Mamontov's daughter Vera.The model for In Summer was Serov's wife. When only six years old, Serov began to display signs of artistic talent.At nine years old, Repin acted as his teacher and mentor, giving him lessons in his studio in Paris, then let Serov work with him in Moscow, almost like an apprentice.Eventually Repin sent him to study with Pavel Chistiakov - the teacher of many of the World of Art painters, including Nesterov and Vrubel.Chistiakov was to become a close friend. Because Serov's career spanned such a long period, his style and subject matter vary considerably, ranging from voluptuous society portraits (the later ones notable for their grand style and sumptuous dresses) to sensitive studies of children.Utterly different from any of these is the famous nude study of the dancer Ida Rubinstein, in tempera and charcoal on canvas, which he painted towards the end of his life.Although Serov's early style has much in common with the French Impressionists, he did not become acquainted with their work until after he had painted pictures such as Girl with Peaches.; EPUB; Art & Photography > History of art / art & design styles > History of art & design styles: c 1800 to, Canongate Books<

 The Moscow artists who began to move towards Impressionism in the 1880s admired the works of the young Serov, his pastoral landscapes so clearly revealing the lyricism of modest events in daily life. Benefi ting from the instruction of his teachers, Repine and Tchistiakov, he became the fi nest Russian portraitist of his generation. His skill is evident in some of his most beautiful paintings, “Young girl with peaches” or “Ulysses and Nausicaa”. Serov’s creative work and experience opened the way for Russian painting to become part of pictorial art in the 20th century.
