Biography

The son of a rural cleric, Miloradovich attended a divinity school in Moscow and served for 25 years as a sexton in the parish of the Gonchary Resurrection Church.[2] In the early 1870s he became interested in painting and enrolled at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture where his teachers included such realist "itinerant" painters as Vasily Perov.[3]

Miloradovich's paintings chronicle the history of the Russian Orthodox church with a special emphasis on the events of the 17th century, notably the Raskol. His works were shown at the major Peredvizhniki exhibitions from 1885 to 1923.

Miloradovich was awarded a bronze medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle.[2] He was named a fellow of the Imperial Academy of Arts nine years later.

After the October Revolution, Miloradovich's work was largely neglected. Little is known about his later years. He died in Moscow at the age of 91.

gollark: I found it on twitter. Apparently someone has an extremely cursed printer, and didn't even consistently describe the problem.
gollark: No, the repost detector is just bad.

gollark: I think one difference between humans and other monkey-type things is that we're apparently better at learning from other humans.
