Abstract
Nikolai Maksimovich Shtukkenberg belongs to the glorious pleiad of artists who stood at the origins of Primorye's painting, formed the specificity of the Far Eastern landscape. Nikolai Maximovich was born in 1880 in St. Petersburg. In 1885 the family moved to Tver. And only in 1907 Shtukkenberg, already a captain of distant voyages, returned to his native city. Since winter of the same year until 1910, he was enthusiastically visiting the painting department of the Imperial Academy of Arts as an auditor. But in 1913 classes were interrupted: at the personal invitation of Vladivostok Commercial Port, Captain Stukkenberg led the Dobrynia Nikitich icebreaker to Vladivostok. Since that time his duty, life and work are forever connected with the Far East. Here Nikolai Shtukkenberg declared himself as a skilful captain, and as an artist – a wonderful landscape painter, the author of seascapes.
