Leontiy Semenovich Miropolskiy

Leontiy Semenovich Miropolskiy (Russian: Леонтий Семёнович Миропольский) was a Russian painter, portraitist, copyist, and icon painter, prominent in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He became an academician of the Imperial Academy of Arts after demonstrating his skills with a portrait of Gabriel Ignatievich Kozlov, an adjunct professor at the academy. His works include portraits that are highly individualized and closely resemble those of his teacher, Dmitry Levitsky​.

Miropolskiy's contributions to Russian art extend beyond portraits; he was also an accomplished icon painter. He crafted icons for St. Andrew's Cathedral in Kronstadt, which, although the cathedral itself has since been destroyed, marks a significant part of his legacy in religious art​​. His paintings are housed in prestigious locations such as the State Russian Museum and the State Tretyakov Gallery, reflecting his lasting impact on Russian cultural heritage.
