Nikolai Alexandrovich Yaroshenko

Nikolai Alexandrovich Yaroshenko (Russian: Николай Александрович Ярошенко) was a prominent Russian painter of Ukrainian origin, recognized for his profound contributions to genre and portrait painting, particularly focusing on societal themes and the daily struggles of working people​. Born on December 13, 1846, in Poltava, then part of the Russian Empire, Yaroshenko initially pursued a military career before devoting himself to art​​.

Yaroshenko became an influential member of the Peredvizhniki, a group of Russian realist artists who sought to portray real life with a moral or social message. His works are notable for their depth of emotion and social commentary, highlighting the lives of the common folk and the societal challenges of the time. Among his well-known paintings are "The Stoker" and "The Prisoner," both of which reflect his concern for the plight of the oppressed and showcase his skill in evoking empathy through art.

Many of Yaroshenko's masterpieces are housed in prominent Russian museums, such as the Tretyakov Gallery, reinforcing his status in the annals of art history. His works continue to resonate, providing insight into the social dynamics of 19th-century Russia and the struggles therein​​.
