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". |
