Nikolay Shilder

Nikolay Gustavovich Shilder (also: Nikolai Schilder, Russian: Николай Густавович Шильдер; 1828 - 25 March [O.S. 13 March] 1898, Saint-Petersburg) was a Russian painter, active in St. Petersburg during Tsars Alexander II and Alexander III's reigns, once known for his genre pictures.

Schilder was born to a Baltic German father. He graduated from the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg. He became an academician of the Academy in 1861. Under the influence of Pavel Fedotov he painted a series of paintings devoted to the life of ordinary people (genre painting). He also painted ceremonial portraits, including the portrait of tsar Alexander III of Russia.[citation needed]

His son, Andrey Shilder [ru], was also a painter, mostly known for his landscape art.
