An Artist of the Peredvizhniki
Emily Shanks was an English painter who was active in Moscow during the reigns of Alexander III and Nicholas II. Born in Moscow, she studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture around 1882 under instructors including Vasily Polenov, Vladimir Makovsky, and Illarion Pryanishnikov. In 1890, she was awarded a large silver medal by the school for her painting Reading a letter, graduating that year with the rank of artist.
Shanks achieved historical significance as the first woman to be elected as a full member of the Peredvizhniki Company, an honor she received in 1894 following her painting Inkspot. Between 1891 and 1915, she exhibited with the Peredvizhniki at 19 exhibitions. Her work was also shown with the Moscow Union of Artists, the Moscow Society for Lovers of the Arts, and the Moscow Lemercier Gallery.
