Mykola Pymonenko (March 21, 1862 - April 8, 1912) is one of the most prominent Ukrainian realist artists. He studied at the icon-painting workshop at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the Kyiv Drawing School and the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. Each of Pymonenko's paintings is like a frozen frame of living folk life, which captures the beauty, everyday life and deep soul of Ukrainian nature and people. Pymonenko gained recognition both in his homeland and in other European countries. He successfully exhibited in Berlin, Paris, London and Munich. He was member of the Paris International Union of Arts and the Munich Union of Artists.
Pymonenko not only painted, but also educated a new generation of artists, working as a drawing teacher for a total of almost thirty years at the Mykola Murashko Art School, and after its closure - at the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Among his direct students were such future stars as Oleksandr Murashko, Kazimir Malevich, Oleksandra Ekster, Abram Manevich and others. His work influenced the formation of the Ukrainian national style in painting, and also became a bridge between academic realism and modern trends of the early 20th century.
The painting “Idyll”, reproduced in this puzzle, was painted by Mykola Pymonenko in 1908. It is kept in the National Art Museum of Ukraine.
