Biography

He was born to a peasant family that originally came from Kaluga Governorate, Russian Empire. From 1872 to 1881, he studied at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts with Pavel Chistyakov.[1] While there, he was awarded two silver medals (1877, 1878) and one gold medal (1880), for his painting of Jacob recognizing Joseph's clothes.[2]

Upon graduating, he received the title of "Artist" first degree for his painting of Saint Sergius blessing Dmitri Donskoy.[2] The following year, his depiction of Prince Dmitriy Yurievich Krasny, the youngest son of Yury of Zvenigorod, won him a stipend to study in Rome. He was there from 1883 to 1886.[1]

From 1886 to 1890, he taught at the Kiev Drawing School, operated by Nikolay Murashko.[1] From 1898 to 1920, he gave classes at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute. After 1901, he also taught at the newly established Kiev Art College [ru] and served as Director there from 1911 to 1914.[2] Among his more notable students were Boris Aronson, Mykhailo Kozyk, Boris Vladimirski and Karp Trokhymenko [uk].

He was one of the founders of the "Kiev Fellowship of Religious Painting" and served as its Chairman after 1908.[1] He also did restoration work on the frescoes at St. Cyril's Monastery.
