High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Alexander Dmitrievich Litovchenko (1835, Kremenchuk - 28 June 1890, Saint Petersburg) was a Ukrainian- born Russian painter who specialized in depicting Muscovite Russia of the 16th and 17th centuries. Litovchenko attended the Imperial Academy of Arts and, although criticised by his peers for rather stilted compositions, was awarded a lesser gold medal for his rendering of Charon transporting the souls of the dead across the Styx. Along with several other young painters, he challenged the spirit of academism that was prevalent at the Academy and in 1863 left it to become a freelance painter, joining the Peredvizhniki movement in 1876.
