Mihai Zichy ended up in Russia by accident. Born in October 1827 in the city of Zala in Hungary, and died in St. Petersburg on February 28, 1906. noble birth(the elder branch of his family had the dignity of a count) had no effect on his biography. But art education he got: studied at the first in Pest art school from Giacomo Marastoni, and then began to take lessons from the famous Austrian Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, soon becoming his favorite student. Proximity to the teacher led Zichy to Russia. Waldmuller himself did not accept the invitation of Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna to give painting lessons to her daughter, but recommended a student - in January 1848, Zichy arrived in St. Petersburg.
A young teacher of girls from the Romanov family who were his age is an excellent start to a court career. However, he is nervous, numerous orders are a burden to him, and then, as luck would have it, the Hungarian uprising of 1849: Nicholas I signs a manifesto in support of Austria, the Russians enter Hungary, the rebels are calmed down, and the rare Hungarian in St. Petersburg, Zichy, turns out to be not so welcome guest. He loses part of the orders and his place at court, making his way through genre sketches and the service of a retoucher in photographs of Veningen. However, the excommunication from the court was not long: already in 1852-1853 he presented the emperor with a couple of humorous drawings depicting officers at the toilet - they liked the drawings, and Zichy received orders, first for a chronicle of several days at the court in Gatchina, and then for two albums officers of the Life Guards of the Horse Pioneer Division and the Horse Guards. Further more. Emperors will change, but Zichy will remain at court almost unchanged. Behind watercolor work the artist was awarded the title of academician by the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, and he was appointed court painter. For 30 years the artist was a "historian of court life." He entered both ceremonial and family events on the pages of his albums: court balls, theatrical performances, parades, camp life, imperial hunting and caricatures of courtiers. He was a favorite portrait painter of Nicholas I, Alexander II. Alexander III collected his works and decorated his rooms in the Gatchina Palace.
The main court orders (for coronation albums), the title of academician, the title of court painter, a workshop in the New Hermitage, excellent salaries, orders, personal exhibitions under the patronage of members of the imperial family ...
In 1858, Alexander II, a passionate hunter himself, made Gatchina the official site of the Court Hunt. On many of the artist’s sheets, hunting scenes are accompanied by amusing comments, for example, such an inscription was made on the watercolor “Bear Hunt”: “Morally struck by the accuracy of the hunters’ shots at the bear, four sensitive dogs fell victims of sudden apoplexy. Evil tongues assure that a bullet was found in each of those dogs; but this is sheer slander. It can be seen in the heat of the moment the hunters shot their own dogs.
Brilliant career and proximity to the highest circles, which were the result of not only talent, but also Mihaly Zichy's loyalty, did not prevent him from creating many drawings and engravings depicting various sexual scenes.
Hungarian by birth Mihai Zichy(1827 - 1906), was invited to Russia in 1847 to give drawing lessons at the court of Emperor Nicholas I.

The paintings “A Recovering Girl Praying Before the Image of the Mother of God”, “The Dying Knight” (1844), “The Driving of the Coffin of a Child”, “The Crucifixion”, an altarpiece for the Fünfkirchen Cathedral (1845) made Mihaly Zichy famous not only in Europe.
Rumors about him reached the Russian imperial court. He was invited Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna as a teacher fine arts to her daughter Grand Duchess Ekaterina Mikhailovna.
Arriving in St. Petersburg in 1847, the 20-year-old Zichy received several more lessons in various aristocratic houses of the then capital. In 1856 for his watercolor studies coronation of Alexander II, the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts awarded him the title of academician.
