The luminous image of the Russian land and its much-suffered history became the source of inspiration for one of the most talented masters of Russian historical painting. His years of study at the Moscow Secondary Art School under the Surikov Institute (1982–1988) opened up a new world to the young man—a world of the halls of the Tretyakov Gallery and the streets of Zamoskvorechye, a world of the smells of oil paint, of reverent silence, and, at the same time, the diversity of a big modern city. His service in the army only strengthened his conviction in the rightness of the chosen path—the path of a painter. Thus, the first half of the 1990s passed at the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where Pavel’s teacher and mentor was the People’s Artist, Professor I.S. Glazunov. These were years of searching, reflection, contemplation of the history of his country and his people. By the time he was working on his graduation thesis, “Kalka,” Pavel had gained a sense of his creative calling—to awaken the genetic memory of his contemporaries, and to inspire pride in their Motherland. During his years teaching at the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (1997–2007), and working at the M.B. Grekov Studio of Military Artists (2007–2014), Pavel Ryzhenko distinguished himself not only as an outstanding historical painter, but also as a master of dioramic art. Reflection on his Homeland’s historical past led the artist to seek spiritual foundations, and religious themes naturally became a part of his work. In his life, which was cut short so unexpectedly on July 16, 2014, at the moment of his greatest creative flourishing, Pavel Ryzhenko created a gallery of epic images (“Peresvet’s Victory,” “Kulikovo Field,” “Nevsky Battle,” “The Tsar’s Silence,” the triptychs “The Royal Golgotha,” “The Russian Century,” and many others). Sweeping panoramas of history are reflected in his dioramas “The Baptism of Rus,” “The Standoff on the Ugra River,” “The Beginning of the War, June 22, 1941.” In 2011, for his high achievements in visual art and the development of spiritual and patriotic themes, Pavel Ryzhenko was awarded the honorary title of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. The expressive imagery of Pavel Ryzhenko’s historical canvases gives his work special importance in the context of contemporary Russian history. Contemplation on canvas about the lessons of the past and future of our Fatherland, and adherence to the traditions of the Russian school of historical painting, make Pavel Ryzhenko a worthy successor to the great masters of Russian visual art—V. Surikov, I. Repin, V. Vereshchagin, V. Vasnetsov, and M. Nesterov. ---
