Fedusko
Ukrainian painter of the second half of the 16th century. A workshop master, a prominent representative of the Sambir school of icon painting. The artist’s name was first recorded among the inhabitants of the city in 1568. He was introduced into historical literature in 1889. He is one of three Western Ukrainian painters of the 16th century whose author’s signatures have survived to this day. This is how the icon “Annunciation” of 1579, commissioned by Motra and Hilarion Ivanytsky for the church of the village of Ivanychi, was preserved. Currently, the icon is kept in the Kharkiv Art Museum. In the early 1570s, the painter created the iconostasis of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in the village of Nakonechno, NML. He is also the author of the “Passion of Christ” from the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church, Drohobychyna Museum, as well as similar passions that are in the National Museum in Krakow, Poland. Thanks to L. Skop and G. Druzyuk, based on the analysis of the artistic style and features of iconography, it was discovered and proven that the miniatures of the Peresopnytsky Gospel were created by Fedusko.
