Evgraf Fedorovich Krendovsky

Yevgraf Fedorovych Krendovskyi was born in Kremenchuk, Poltava province in Ukraine in 1810 in the family of an officer.

His father was apparently a constable of some sort so, as a young man, he worked at the police station in Arzamas, where he also attended the famous art school operated by Alexander Stupin.

Closer to 1860, Krendovsky and his family moved to Kremenchuk, where he opened a private art school.

In 1861, he painted an iconostasis for the home church of the Poltava Boys' Gymnasium (destroyed in the 20s of the 20th century).

His fate after that point is unknown, although it is generally believed that he lived at his brother's estate near Arzamas and died sometime during the 1870s.
