Demut-Malinovsky, Vasily (Ivanovich)

(b St Petersburg, 13 March 1779; d St Petersburg, 28 July 1846). Russian sculptor. He was the son of a carver and studied at the Academy of Arts from 1785 to 1800, where he very soon distinguished himself. In 1800 he produced the bronze low-relief Battle at Gangut for the base of Bartolommeo Carlo Rastrelli’s monument to Peter I, placed in front of the Mikhaylovsky Castle in St Petersburg (in situ). In 1802–3 he executed the tombstone for Mikhail Ivanovich Kozlovsky (marble; St Petersburg, Mus. Sculp.). Between 1803 and 1806 he worked in Rome under Antonio Canova.
