Boris Anrep (1883-1969)

Boris Anrep was a Russian-born artist who worked and displayed his art in Britain. Anrep originally studied law at St. Petersburg University, but turned to art after the influence of a sculptor and painter friend named Dmitrii Stelletskii. After this strong influence, Anrep traveled to study mosaics in Greece and Italy. After much traveling and training from different places, including Britain, Anrep displayed some of his work in London. To this day, Anrep's works are beautifully displayed National Gallery of London and other locations throughout Britain.
