Dey de Ribkowsky was a well traveled artist for his time. Born in Bulgaria, at age 13 he began art studies in Paris and continued in Florence and St. Petersburg. From there he sailed to Buenos Aires where he founded the Beaux - Arts in 1904. In 1910 he immigrated to the U.S. It would appear De Ribkowsky traveled and painted extensively throughout the U.S. settling in California in the early 1920's. While primarily thought of as a Marine painted, his subjects appear to be varied. His works are held in numerous private collections and museums including: Alexander III Museum - St. Petersburg, Uruguay Museum, Buenos Aires National Museums and many others.
