Yuli Yulievich Klever. Russian artist of German origin. He was recognised as a landscape painter of the salon-academic type. From childhood he showed inclinations to drawing and in 1867, after graduating from the Derpt Gymnasium, began to study at the architectural (at his father's insistence) classes of the Imperial Academy of Arts, but soon transferred to the landscape class - he studied with S. M. Vorobyov, then - with M. K. Klodt. He received small and large silver medals from the Academy of Arts (1870). In 1871 his painting ‘Abandoned Cemetery in Winter’ was favourably appreciated by the art community and purchased by Count P. S. Stroganov, and in 1872 his painting ‘Sunset’ was purchased by Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna. In 1879, together with V. V. Samoilov, he worked on the island of Nargen. As a result, one of the paintings - ‘Forest on Nargen Island’ (‘Virgin Forest’) - was acquired by P. M. Tretyakov, another - ‘Nargen Island’ - by Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich, and ‘Forest in Winter’ - by Alexander III. In 1881 for the painting ‘Forest Wilderness’ the Academy of Arts awarded Yuli Klever the title of Professor of the Imperial Academy of Arts. He participated in exhibitions of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, since 1879 - in international exhibitions. And in the 1890s there were events, as a result of which Yuli Klever went to Germany, and the family Klever returned to Russia only in 1915. After returning to his homeland, he organised an exhibition in Moscow. After the revolution of 1917, Yuli Klever received material support from the Society of Artists named after A. I. Kuindzhi. Until the end of his life he taught at the Academy of Arts and at the Central School of Technical Drawing, where he headed the department of monumental painting. He died in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) in 1924.
