Orlovsky Vladimir was one of the pioneers of a new kind of realistic landscape painting in Ukraine, a professor of painting at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, and a student of Alexey Bogolubov.

From 1869 to 1872 Orlovsky perfected his skills in Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy, inspired by the works of Impressionist artists, and returning to St. Petersburg continued his artistic activity in the academic tradition. The artist continues the accepted scheme of the academic landscape in the painting Summer Landscape with a Hamlet and a Peasant Woman Carrying Brushwood.
