Early life

Elizaveta Nikolaevna Zvantseva was born on 30 November 1864Шаблон:Sfn on her family's estate Tartalee (Шаблон:Lang-ru) near Nizhny Novgorod on the outskirts of Moscow to Nikolai Zvantsev and his wife, who was the daughter of Nikolai Polevoy. Polevoy, Zvantseva's maternal grandfather was a noted Russian historian and writer. On her paternal side, her great-great grandfather was an Ottoman pasha who had been killed at the battle of Zhvanets in 1769 during the 5th Russo-Turkish War. The pasha's son had been made a ward of Tsar Paul I of Russia and given the name Peter Pavlovich Zhvantsov, which later changed to Zvantsov and then became Zvantsev. In 1796, Paul I gave his ward the estate at Tartalee and his children developed the property, restoring the manor house, creating a luxurious park and building both a summer theater and small school for children. Zvantseva's father was a Collegiate Assessor and though she grew up in privilege, at the age of sixteen, she left home to make her own way.Шаблон:Sfn

Zvantseva studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture between 1885 and 1888. For the next several years, until 1896, she studied at the Saint Petersburg Academy of Arts with Ilya Repin and Pavel Chistyakov.Шаблон:Sfn During 1889 Repin created five portraits of Zvantseva, one of which was subsequently willed by the artist to the Ateneum in Helsinki.Шаблон:Sfn In 1897, she traveled to Paris, with her friend Konstantin Somov, where she studied with Rodolphe Julian at the Académie Julian and with Filippo Colarossi at the Académie Colarossi.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

The school was founded on the fourth floor of a building at No. 25 Tavricheskaia, offered by the Russian poet Vyacheslav Ivanov, who lived on the top floor.Шаблон:Sfn The boundaries between apartments and households was blurred, with artists from the school mingling freely with writers who congregated at the Ivanov's space, and conjugal relations extending beyond the marriage bond.Шаблон:Sfn The school was a gathering place for the avant-garde and was "the most progressive art school in pre-1917 Russia".Шаблон:Sfn Bakst's teaching method focused on teacher and student feeding off of each other's creativity to continually feed intellectual curiosity and push boundaries in new and different ways.Шаблон:Sfn He left the school in 1910 and was replaced by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin and Zvantseva continued to operate the school until April 1917.Шаблон:Sfn After the October Revolution, she left Saint Petersburg and returned to Nizhny Novgorod. Some time later, she moved to MoscowШаблон:Sfn where she spent her remaining days running an orphanage for street children.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
