Luigi Ossipovich Premazzi (1814, Milan - 1891, Istanbul), Italian painter, long resident in Russia, best known for his beautifully precise and atmospheric watercolors of grand, densely decorated interiors. He attended the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and then the private school run by Giovanni Migliara. Having moved to Russia in 1839 (or circa 1850, depending on the source), from 1851 he was a much-commissioned chronicler of the lavish palace interiors of Russia's aristocratic and Imperial families, and he became a teacher at St. Petersburg's Imperial School of Fine Arts in 1861.
