Painter belonging to Andrij
Rusyn's set. |

An orthodox icon of the XVth century that have been found by
art critics on the territory of Poland is now displayed in the
National Art Museum of Ukraine as a work of an unknown painter. I
paid attention to the similarity of this work to the style of the
court-painter of the King Jagailo named Andrij Rusyn (Rusyn is a
nick-name of Ukrainians). In 1418 Andrij Rusyn worked in the King's quarters in Liublin and perhaps had pupils and clients
among the orthodox population of the Liublin county. I consider that this icon was painted not by Andrij Rusyn himself but rather by one of his pupils, that is, a "painter belonging to Andrij Rusyn's set". |
