Leonid Ivanovich Solomatkin [1837, Sudzha, now Kursk region, buried 6(18).6.1883, St. Petersburg], Russian painter. He studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (1855-60) and at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts (1861-66). Worked in St. Petersburg. He was influenced by V. G. Perov and the genre painters of the 1850s, and studied the works of the “small” Dutchmen in the Hermitage. The works of S., who repeatedly repeated some of his paintings (mainly about the life of the urban lower classes and the life of the degenerate artistic environment), are characterized, along with acute vitality, by popular print grotesque in the characterization of characters, sharp drawing and warm rich color, often bright and reminiscent of the motley coloring of folk pictures ( "Name Day of the Sexton", 1862, "Wedding", 1872, both in the Tretyakov Gallery).
