Simon Ushakov

Saviour Not Made by Hands, painted for the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra in 1658

Simon (Pimen) Fyodorovich Ushakov (Russian: Симон (Пимен) Фёдорович Ушаков; c. 1626 – 25 June 1686)[1][2] was a leading Russian icon painter in the 17th-century.[3]

Together with Fyodor Zubov and Fyodor Rozhnov, he is associated with the comprehensive reform of the Russian Orthodox Church undertaken by Patriarch Nikon. Ushakov is also credited with popularizing the genre of portrait painting of secular figures in Russia (known as parsuna).[4]
