context_page_description: Bogdan Pavlovich Willewalde was a Russian artist, academic, emeritus professor of military art, and a fellow of the Imperial Academy of Arts.
context_section_description: The artist spent his final years in his homeland of Germany. Many documents remain that show the recognition Willewalde received from the Imperial court, and the patronage of the nobility that he enjoyed. Having outlived many of his contemporaries, almost unknown to the new generation, Willewalde died in Dresden on March 24, 1903. His son Alexander, born in 1853, also became a painter.
