(b Novocherkassk, 17 Dec 1859; d Petrograd [now St Petersburg], 28 Feb 1918). Russian painter. He studied (187782) at the Academy of Arts in St Petersburg, where he was taught by the landscape painter Mikhail Konstantinovich Klodt (18321902). In 1882 Dubovskoy began to participate in exhibitions as an independent landscape painter, first with the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts in St Petersburg and, from 1884, with the Wanderers (Peredvizhniki), of which he became a member in 1886. From 1899 Dubovskoy was a permanent member of the board of the Wanderers and one of its most distinguished figures, but he also became an Academician (1898), and from 1900 he was a full member of the Academy of Arts. He lived mainly in St Petersburg, but in the 1890s and 1900s he travelled extensively in European countries.
