Fedor Grigoryevich Solntsev

Shop 497 artworks by Fedor Grigoryevich Solntsev (Russian, 1801–1892) — every piece is public domain and can be printed as canvas, rolled canvas, framed canvas or a framed print.

Fedor Grigoryevich Solntsev (1801-1892) was born a serf and died a professor at the Imperial Academy of Arts. Between those two facts lies half a century of patient recording: he travelled the Russian provinces documenting medieval regalia, armour, vestments, icons, manuscripts and architecture, and the results filled the six volumes of Antiquities of the Russian State. He also worked on the restoration of the Terem Palace in the Kremlin and on the decoration of several cathedrals. Much of what he drew has since been lost, destroyed or altered, which makes his plates a primary visual record of pre-Petrine Russia rather than merely a beautiful one. This archive holds high-resolution scans of his plates, free to preview and available as originals for printing.
