Valery Jacobi was born to a family of an estate owner and started his education in the Kazan University, but broke his study to enlist in Russian Army (Siberian Volunteer Corps [http://pointart.ru/index.php?type=review&p=articles&id=343&area=1 "Valery Jacobi"] on Pointart library ] ) during the Crimean War. In 1856 after retirement from the Army he decided to abandon his University study and pursue the artistic career instead.

In 1856-1861 he studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts, receiving a small gold medal for his painting .

In 1870 Jacobi became one of the founding members of the Peredvizhniki art society. But in 1872 he was excluded for his failure to participate in a society exhibition and the general disagreement with the ideals of the society. Later he was considered a conservative, sceptical to the Peredvizhniki's ideas.

Jacobi was a member of the Imperial Academy of Arts since 1868, a professor since 1871, taught in the Academy in 1878-1889. He lived mostly in Saint-Petersburg creating historical paintings like (1878), etc. His works were criticized as purely decorative, lacking substance.

Jacobi died in Nice, France in 1902.
