Nowhere is there mention of a net.Ni EXP ZAGRAEVSKY nor Kondakova , no Solovyov. Only here :
" Fulfilling the will of the parishioners , clergy invited " in 1877 to paint the Church of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist Village Ryabovo Vyatkian master Mikhail Koshkareva - "to draw in a certain place in a warm church painting, according to the attached project ." A year later, the interiors of the temple are covered with paintings which , in the opinion of the Dean Fr Cyril Spassky , were executed as "very good ."
Who is the artist and iconographer Michael Koshkarev ( c. 1848-1907 ) , and how he ended up in Ryabov ? With Victor Vasnetsov they are not only the same age , but went to the same Vjatskom religious school and have been friends for many years . It is known that in 1872 Vasnetsov painted a portrait of a friend , who is now at the State Tretyakov Gallery, Michael Koshkarev a long time kept "some figures " Vasnetsov. Results in local historian AV Reva archive MI Koshkareva is so expensive for us line: "Writing V. Vasnetsov in Kiev ... ". It is quite possible , but rather , it's true - Michael Koshkarev order received , with the assistance of Viktor Vasnetsov , who in May 1877 came straight from Paris to Vyatka and lived at home until the fall - the most good summer to work in the cold stone temple . And if he was not " attached draft " mural for a friend ?
