Ul’yanov, Nikolay (Pavlovich)

(b Yelets, 1 May 1875; d Moscow, 5 May 1949). Russian painter and graphic artist. He went to school in Yelets until the family moved to Moscow. In 1888 he studied for several months with an icon painter and then with Vasily Meshkov (1866/7–1946), who trained him for entry into the Moscow College of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. There Ul’yanov studied under Nikolay Nevryov and Illarion Pryanishnikov and from 1899 to 1901 under Valentin Serov, who had a strong influence on him. A very close relationship developed between Serov and Ul’yanov, who attended Serov’s studio even after graduating from College right up to 1904, and who taught with Serov from 1901 to 1907 at the Zvantseva Academy in Moscow.
