TRUBETSKOY Pavel (Paolo) Petrovich (1866-1938), Prince, sculptor. Lived originally in Italy, where he studied mainly on his own. Between 1897 and 1906 he lived in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and after 1906 in France, USA, and Italy. He visited St. Petersburg between 1907 and 1914. One of the founders of Impressionism in Russian plastics, he created genre, animalistic, and portrait statuettes and busts in an Impressionistic style, most notably of Princess M.K. Tenisheva (1899), Leo Tolstoy (1899), S.Y. Witte (1901), all bronze and in the State Russian Museum. In 1899-1906 he worked in St. Petersburg on a horse monument to Emperor Alexander III (opened on 28 May 1909 at Znamenskaya Square; in October, 1937, it was removed and preserved in the service yards of the State Russian Museum; in 1996 it was installed in the park of the Marble Palace). He entered his design for the competition for the monument to Emperor Alexander II for St. Petersburg (1910, uncompleted), and participated in several group exhibitions of the World of Art (1899-1903). In 1910 he became an honorary member of the Society of Travelling Exhibitions.
