Vyacheslav Grigorevich Shvarts (1838 — 1869) was a Russian history and genre painter. In 1846, he and his mother moved to Moscow, where he received his first art lessons at the Moscow School of Drawing. In 1851, he was brought to Saint Petersburg where he was enrolled in the Imperial Alexander Lyceum the following year. While at the Lyceum, his drawings attracted the attention of the art faculty and he was able to study under Arseny Meshchersky, who introduced him to oil painting. In 1859, he graduated with a gold medal and was given permission to study at St. Petersburg State University, where he came under the influence of Nikolay Kostomarov.
In 1861, he spent six months abroad, primarily in Berlin, where he honed his skills with Wilhelm von Kaulbach and Julius Schrader.
At the beginning of 1867, he made his third trip abroad, to Paris to help prepare the Russian exhibit at the International Exposition, where he acquired several medals. By the middle of 1868 he was finding it difficult to continue working.
