I was interested in the fate of the artist Nikolai Alekseevich Yepanchin, the author of two presented pictures. First: Portrait of the artist's daughter Vera Nikolaevna. 1920. Second: Landscape. 1912.
Information about him missing, but, suddenly, in an interview with a famous, 87-year-old patron of the German-Russian-Ukrainian origin, Baron Eduard Pfalz-Fein, I find the following:
  "In our family everyone loved painting, drawing excellent mother, grandfather, Nicholas Yepanchin, too, was a good painter, and even wrote a few pictures together with his friend, renowned artist Boris Kustodiev." It appears Boris Kustodiyev painted a portrait of the Chief of the Corps of Pages, Major-General Yepanchina.
Yes, this grandfather, mother's side, Nikolay Yepanchin in those days served as Director of the privileged military educational institutions of Russia - His Imperial Majesty's Corps, which was famous throughout Russia for its graduates. Nikolai was a general, like his ancestors, was in the retinue of the sovereign. He was famous, he was a prominent commander during the Battle of Gumbenom August 7, 1914.
The marriage of his daughter, Vera Nikolaevna Yepanchins and Alexander E. Falz-Fein joined two glorious kind: the aristocrats and landowners north of the capital of the south. After the revolution, a miracle, Nikolai Yepanchin with his wife and youngest son Vladimirom.perebralis in Germany. Where is it in 1921, elected chairman of the Russian colony. In 1923, after Hitler's putsch, the family Falz-Fein and Yepanchins leave Munich and moved to Nice, where was a rich villa that belonged to Alexander E. Falz-Fein. General Yepanchin and his wife, Vera Karlovna, nee Kulstrem died in Nice in 1941. Vera Falz-Fein has lived in Nice until old age and died in 1977. All of them are buried at the Russian cemetery in the family vault Falz-Fein - Yepanchins. gave the world his daughter Taisiya and son Edward, who became heir to all that several generations of his ancestors had created on earth.
