Biography: Alexandre Nicolaiévitch Roussoff was a Russian painter, but spent most of his time in his favorite city, Venice, where he settled permanently in 1881, at the Palazzo Contarini on the Grand Canal. It was during this period that he befriended James Abbott McNeill Whistler. From then on, the two artists competed in drawing and genre scenes. Roussoff's works were exhibited in Paris and London, where his watercolors and landscapes were a great success at the Royal Academy exhibition. His themes were mainly Italian, with a predilection for Venice and Orientalism. Roussoff exhibited regularly from 1880 to 1911, mainly in England at the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colors, the Fine Art Society and the Dudley Gallery, as well as at the Glasgow Institute of Fin Arts and the Manchester City Art Gallery.
