      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Simon Ushakov was was a leading Russian graphic artist of the late 17th-century. Together with Fyodor Zubov and Fyodor Rozhnov, he is associated with the comprehensive reform of the Russian Orthodox Church undertaken by Patriarch Nikon.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/ushakov/Simon_ushakov_last_supper_1685.jpg" alt="The Last Supper 1685" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Last Supper 1685</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">We know almost nothing about the early years of Simon Ushakov. His birth date is deduced from his inscription on one of the icons: In the year 7166 painted this icon Simon Ushakov son, being 32 years of age.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/ushakov/Ushakov_Skopin_Shuiskiy.jpg" alt="Skopin Shuiskiy" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Skopin Shuiskiy</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">At the age 22 he became a paid artist of the Silver Chamber, affiliated with the Armory Prikaz. The bright, fresh colours and exquisite, curving lines of his proto-baroque icons caught the eye of Patriarch Nikon, who introduced Simon to the tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. He became a great favourite with the royal family and was eventually (1664) assigned to the Kremlin Armoury, run by an educated boyar Bogdan Khitrovo.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/ushakov/531px-Simon_Ushakov_Archangel_Mikhail_and_Devil.jpg" alt="The Archangel Michael Trampling the Devil Underfoot" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Archangel Michael Trampling the Devil Underfoot</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Ushakov had a lot of pupils and associates and even published a short treatise on icon-painting entitled A Word to Loving-Meticulous Icon Painting (1664). Some of the more conservative Russian priests, such as archpriest Avvakum, regarded his icons as “lascivious works of devil”, for they were too Western for their tastes. Avvakum, in particular, alleged that Ushakov painted his “fleshly saints” after his own portly appearance.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/ushakov/336px-SimonUshakov_OurLadyOfEleus.jpg" alt="Our Lady of Eleus" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Our Lady of Eleus</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Ushakov also executed secular commissions and produced engravings for book illustrations. In other words, he was one of the first secular painters in Russia. Some of his icons, transported to Western Europe, were instrumental in fomenting interest for nascent Russian painting. He died on June 25, 1686 in Moscow.</p>
