Count Sergei Lvovich Levitsky (Russian-Серге́й Львович Левицкий, 1819 – 1898)
is considered one of the patriarchs of Russian photography and one of Europe's
most important early photographic pioneers, inventors and innovators.

Sergei L’vovich Levitsky (or Levitskii, 1819-1898) was among Russia’s earliest
practitioners of daguerreotype photography. Levitsky was serving as a junior
diplomat when the first photographic techniques were causing a sensation
among the public and scientists. He took a leave from his duties to travel to
Paris, meet with Daguerre and other pioneers of early photograph, and to
attend lectures on the latest discoveries at the Sorbonne. Having perfected
his skills, Levitsky traveled to Rome to photograph the Russian artistic
community there, leaving behind a rare photo of author Nikolai Gogol.
His sensitive portraits of celebrated Russian writers and artists earned him
 his first job photographing members of the Russian Imperial family in 1849.
His work included portraits of: Czar Nicholas II, Czarina Alexandra Feodorovna,
Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia, Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna
of Russia, Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia, Grand Duchess Anastasia
Nikolaevna of Russia, Alexei Nikolaevich Tsarevich of Russia.

Considered the best of Russia's portrait photographers, the Levitsky studio
photographed four generations of the Romanov dynasty. In 1877, it was
awarded the title Photographer of their Royal Majesty.
