Nikolai Petrovich Feofilaktov

Nikolai Petrovich Feofilaktov (Russian: Николай Петрович Феофилактов) was a Russian graphic artist and a prominent figure in the Moscow art Nouveau and symbolism movements. Born in Moscow in 1878, Feofilaktov was a self-taught artist in painting and music, deeply influenced by Mikhail Vrubel and the graphics of Western European Jugendstil. Notably, in 1904, he participated in the "Scarlet Rose" exhibition, establishing connections with the "Blue Rose" artists and participating in their exhibitions. Feofilaktov was notably influenced by the work of Aubrey Beardsley, earning him the nickname "Moscow Beardsley" or "bergsmannen" due to his intricate and diletante style. His graphic work, characterized by its whimsical and slightly naive depiction of morbid fantasies, masks, and mythical creatures, was well-received for its artistic merit and distinctive Moscow style plasticity​​.

After 1910, Feofilaktov's popularity waned, and he shifted his focus to painting, working in the publishing house "Academia" from 1933 to 1937. His early success was marked by his association with the magazine "Vesy" and the Symbolist movement in Moscow, showcasing his ability to blend graphic art with literary culture. Feofilaktov's work was a critical reflection of the spirit and aspirations of Russian symbolism's "second wave," highlighting his significant contributions to Russian graphic art and symbolist literature​​.

Feofilaktov's artworks have been recognized and valued in the art market, with his pieces being auctioned and collected internationally. This recognition underscores the enduring appeal and historical significance of his contributions to Russian art and symbolism​​.

For collectors and experts in art and antiques, Nikolai Petrovich Feofilaktov's work represents a unique blend of Russian symbolism and Moscow art Nouveau, making his pieces highly sought after. His influence on and contributions to the Russian art scene during a pivotal period in its development continue to be celebrated and studied.
