Bogayevsky, Konstantin (Fyodorovich)
(b Feodosiya, Ukraine, 12 Jan 1872; d Feodosiya, 17 Feb 1943). Ukrainian painter and graphic artist. He studied at the Academy of Arts, St Petersburg, from 1891 to 1897 under Arkhip Kuindzhi, and he was profoundly influenced by Kuindzhi’s ideas of national romantic landscape. Bogayevsky was a member of the World of Art (Rus. Mir Iskusstva) Society and of the Union of Russian Artists (Soyuz Russkikh Khudozhnikov). Most of his work was devoted to the Eastern Crimea, and he became a master of the epic historical landscape. He was dedicated to depicting ‘Kimmeriya’ (the poetic name for the Crimea, after ‘Kimmerians’, ancient tribes that inhabited the peninsula in 8–7 BC), as was his friend, the poet and artist Maksimilian Voloshin (1877–1932).
