* Sylvester Shchedrin (Russian: Сильвестр Феодосиевич Щедрин, 1791 - 1830) was a Russian landscape painter. He was born in St. Petersburg into the family of the famous sculptor Pheodosiy Shchedrin, rector of the Imperial Academy of Arts. In 1800, Sylvester Shchedrin entered the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, where he studied landscape paintings.
Sylvester left for Italy in 1818, delayed due to the Napoleonic Wars. Shchedrin influenced not only the Russian art but Italian art as well. He was one of the founder of the so called Posillipo school. Many of his works are in Italian museums while some were returned to Russia. Shchedrin's letters full of important artistic observations were published as a book (Shchedrin Letters from Italy) in 1932 and reprinted in 1978. He died in Sorrento in 1830.
