Vasily Semyonovich Sadovnikov was a Russian painter, and a leading Russian master of perspective painting. His views of St. Petersburg and its suburbs from 1830 to 1850 and interiors of its palaces, commissioned by the royal court and other high patrons, are best known. Sadovnikov's Panoranic View of the Nevsky Avenue (1830 - 1850), which was 16 meters long, was later etched and widely published.
