Grigoriy Vasilyevich Soroka

Grigory Vasilyevich Soroka, née Vasiliev (Russian: Григорий Васильевич Сорока) was a Russian painter, known for his mastery in realistic portraits and landscapes that beautifully captured the essence of 19th-century Russia. His artistic journey began under the guidance of his teacher, Alexei Venetsianov, a prominent figure in the Russian art scene. Soroka’s works are remarkable for their attention to detail, vivid portrayal of peasant life, and sensitive handling of light and shadow, distinguishing him from his contemporaries.

His most notable works include "The Peasant Girls Gathering Brushwood" and "Self-Portrait," both exemplifying his skill in using light to express depth and emotion. These paintings are celebrated for their historical and cultural significance, providing a window into the rural life of Russia during that period. Despite his untimely and tragic end, Soroka’s contributions to Russian art have not been forgotten, with several of his works displayed in prestigious galleries, including the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg.
