About this 3D model

Vasily Demut-Malinovsky occupies one of the leading places among the masters of Russian monumental sculpture of the first half of 19th century. His works echoed the heroic epoch of the 1812 War and were close to the thoughts and feelings of the Russian people. He was born the son of a wood-carver, in St. Petersburg. His first contact with art came in his early childhood, when he used to watch his father at work, and in 1785 he was sent, a six-year-old boy, to the Academy of Arts. This bust of Muraviov may therefore be a hero from the War.
