Grigory Silovich Ostrovsky

Grigory Silovich Ostrovsky (Russian: Григорий Силович Островский) was an 18th-century Russian portrait painter, notable for his work in the Kostroma Governorate. Though much of his life remains shrouded in mystery, Ostrovsky is remembered for a collection of 17 signed and dated portraits discovered in the 1970s by art historian Savva Yamshchikov. These works, primarily painted in the 1770s and 1780s, were found at the Neronovo estate, associated with the Cherevin family.

Ostrovsky's artistic style suggests he may have been an itinerant painter and possibly received some training in icon painting. It is believed that he originated from Veliky Ustyug, a detail that adds to the enigmatic background of this artist. His works, including notable portraits such as those of Elizaveta Petrovna Cherevina and A. F. Catenin, are now housed in the Soligalich Regional Studies Museum in Soligalich​​.

For art enthusiasts and collectors, Ostrovsky’s works represent a fascinating facet of Russian portraiture, embodying the stylistic elements and cultural nuances of his time.
