Mikhail Jakowlewitsch Wylie , also Mikhail Yakovlevich Villie (* 1838 in Saint Petersburg , Russian Empire , † December 16, 1910 ibid), was a Russian genre , landscape and vedute painter . He achieved importance primarily as a watercolorist .

Life

Wylie first embarked on a military career, which he ended in 1862 as an officer in the Preobrazhensk bodyguard regiment . His subsequent training as a painter began with private lessons with Luigi Premazzi (1814-1891), an Italian architecture and vedute painter who immigrated to Russia around 1850 and who was appointed professor at the Imperial Art Academy in Saint Petersburg in 1861 . This painter, known for his watercolors of cityscapes and interiors, made Wylie particularly familiar with watercolors. After Wylie had taken individual teaching units at the St. Petersburg Academy of Art and had already undertaken several study trips, he left his home country in 1865 in order to develop further as an artist. For a while he lived and worked in a studio in Brussels , where he later became an honorary member of the Société royale belge des aquarellistes . In 1868 he exhibited his work at the St. Petersburg Academy Exhibition. In 1869 he went abroad again and visited Düsseldorf , Munich , Vienna , Venice , Florence and Paris . In December 1870 he enrolled in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . He came repeatedly to Düsseldorf, where he was a member of the artists' association Malkasten from 1875 until his death and met the painter Jules Ruinart de Brimont, among others . In 1885/1886 he returned to Saint Petersburg, where he had kept in touch, for example through exhibits with which he sent exhibitions at the local art academy and watercolorist society. Wylie toured large parts of Russia in order to capture historical monuments and views in watercolors and oils. In 1903, the St. Petersburg Academy of Art, of which he had been a simple member since 1868, became its full member. She commemorated him posthumously through exhibitions in 1912/1913.
