Valentin Alexandrovich Serov (Russian: Валентин Александрович Серов) (1865 - 1911) was a Russian painter. Son of Alexander Serov and Valentina Serova.
In his childhood he studied under Ilya Repin (in Paris and Moscow) and in the St.Petersburg Academy of arts (1880-1885) under Pavel Chistyakov. Serov’s early creativity was sparked by the influence of the realistic art of Repin and strict plastic system of Chistyakov. The biggest influences on Serov were paintings of the old masters in museums of Russia and Western Europe, friendship with Mikhail Vrubel and later with Konstantin Korovin, and the creative atmosphere of the Abramtsevo Colony circle to which he was closely connected.
The greatest works of Serov’s early period were portraits ("The Girl with peaches" (1887), "The Girl covered by the sun" (1888); both in the Tretyakov gallery). In these paintings Serov concentrated on spontaneity of perception of model and the nature. In development of light and color, in transfer of complex harmony of reflections, in the saturation of the environment by air, in freshness of picturesque perception of the world there appeared the features of early Russian impressionism.
