Yakov Dorofeyevich Romas

Yakov Dorofeyevich Romas (Russian: Яков Дорофеевич Ромас) was a Russian artist renowned for his contributions to painting and decoration. Born in 1902 near Grodno, Romas had a rich educational background, having studied at the Prechistenka Technical Institute and the Artistic and Theatric Institute in Moscow. His education under notable artists like N.P. Krymov and P.P. Konchalovsky significantly influenced his artistic development. Romas was not only a participant in exhibitions since 1933 but also played a key role in the decoration of the Krasnoselskaya station of the Moscow subway. Beyond his contributions to public and architectural art, he served as a senior artist of the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition and tutored at the Surikov Moscow State Institute of Arts until his death in 1969 in Astrakhan​.

Romas's life and work were deeply intertwined with the historical events of his time. He spent a significant portion of the WWII blockade on a cruiser, demonstrating remarkable bravery and skill. Notably, he trained about 150 Red Navy men and executed combat missions, earning him the Order of the Patriotic War of the II degree, the Order of the Red Star, and the medal “For the Defense of Leningrad”​. His painting, “Winter Volleys of the Baltic,” created during this period, is celebrated for capturing the essence of the fleet's role in the war and stands as a testament to his artistic mastery and personal heroism.

Romas's works have been auctioned multiple times, fetching various prices and reflecting his enduring legacy in the art world.
