Evdokim Alekseevich Egorov

Evdokim Alekseevich Egorov (Russian: Евдоким Алексеевич Егоров; 1832 - 1891) was a Russian painter, porcelain painter, and etcher. He was the son of Alexei Yegorovich Yegorov.

Biography He was born in Saint Petersburg, the son of Alexei Yegorovich Yegorov and Vera Ivanovna Martos (1799 - 11 January 1856 ), daughter of the sculptor Ivan Martos.

He studied at the Imperial Academy of Saint Petersburg, and then became curator of the Moscow Museum. Later, in 1874, he moved to Paris.

He was keen on "fostering the ceramic arts, especially raising their prestige, and hoped to teach peasants the craft."

Russian academicians became interested in ceramics too, and in June 1876 Dmitry Grigorovich requested that the artists working with Egorov sent him examples of their work, wishing to improve Russian production.

Egorov died in Paris in 1891, having lived 17 years in the city.

It was said that he didn't reach his father's fame as a painter.
