Julius von Klever (Russian: Юлий Юльевич Клевер; 31 January 1850 – 24 December 1924) was a Russian landscape painter of Baltic German descent.
Life
Julius von Klever was born in Dorpat to Julius Klever, a lecturer of pharmacology at the veterinary institute, and Maria Magdalena née Gradecke. Klever attended grammar school in his hometown, where he was a pupil of Konstantin von Kügelgen. From 1867 to 1876, he studied painting, initially architecture, at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg.[1]
In 1873 he participated in numerous expositions, e.g. in Vienna. In 1878 he became a member of the St. Petersburg Academy and in 1881 a professor of landscape painting in the same place. In 1881 his paintings were displayed in Berlin, where he received a Gold medal, and Munich, and at Antwerp (1886). Klever was ennobled in 1893 and lived in Riga from 1901-1904, later in Berlin and Neustrelitz. He returned to Russia and died in Leningrad.[1]
