Life
Horawski was the offspring of a small aristocratic family of large landowners of Polish-Lithuanian origin with three daughters and six sons, two of whom became professional soldiers and three artists. In 1842, when he was ten years old, his parents sent him to a cadet school in Brest , which he attended until 1850. When the architect Nikolai Leontjewitsch Benois paid his uncle a visit, he became aware of Horawski's talent for drawing and recommended that after school, the boy should not be obliged to pursue a career in the military like his brothers, but should be given an academic art education, which he ultimately received from 1850 to 1854 at the Imperial Art Academy in Saint Petersburg under the painters Maxim Nikiforowitsch Vorobjow and Fyodor Antonowitsch Bruni also received. In 1855 he returned to Belarus and settled briefly in Swislatsch . In the same year he married his wife Alexandra, the daughter of a colonel, who gave birth to daughters Maria and Julia.
From 1855 to 1860 Horawski undertook a large study trip through Europe on the basis of a scholarship, which took him in particular to Geneva , Paris and Rome . During this time he stayed in Düsseldorf in 1858/1859 and took private lessons with the landscape and marine painter Andreas Achenbach . In Geneva he studied in Alexandre Calame's studio . During these years he met the art collector Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov , who later helped him sell paintings.
In 1860 he went to Saint Petersburg, where the Academy appointed him a full member. From 1860 to 1880 he lived on his country estate near Kirilovich in Belarus during the summer. In winter, from 1862 to 1886, he worked for the St. Petersburg Society for the Promotion of Art as a drawing teacher. From 1860 to 1862 he visited his sister's estate. In 1869 Horawski was commissioned by the St. Petersburg Academy to travel to Ukraine and Belarus over the next three years in order to create pictures of popular life. In 1885/1886 he made a trip to Irkutsk . When Horawski died in 1900, he left only a few pictures for his wife and daughters, which they sold to cover their livelihood from 1900.
Horawski is considered an important landscape and portrait painter of the 19th century. He composed his landscapes after studying nature in the studio. Most of Horawski's surviving paintings, 18 paintings, are in the collection of the National Gallery of Belarus in Minsk .
