Anonymous Ukrainian painter of the first half of the 18th century, who worked in the city of Ostroh. The most famous master of the Ostroh icon-painting workshop. According to P. Zholtovsky, “it was led by one master, whose creativity left a distinct imprint on everything that came out of his workshop, and that the work of his assistants had only an auxiliary meaning”. Characteristic for his work are the softness of forms, light tones, roundness of faces, as well as the frequent use of silvering: “a special type of round, friendly faces with wide, open eyes, a high forehead, characteristic plump pink lips, short, widened eyebrows near the bridge of the nose”, as well as “special silvery, carved levkas backgrounds, covered with an almost identical ornament in all cases of wide, smoothly curved, flat acanthus shoots”.
