Arkady (Aleksandrovich) Rylov
(b Istobenskoye, Vyatka province, 17 Jan 1870; d Leningrad [now St Petersburg], 22 June 1933). Russian painter. After attending the Stieglitz Central School of Technical Drawing in St Petersburg in 1888-91, he studied at the Academy of Arts (until 1897). His principal teacher there was Arkhip Kuindzhi, whose luminarist style greatly influenced Rylov's approach to painting and predetermined his concentration on landscape. Rylov's early works, such as Green Sound (1904; Moscow, Tret'yakov Gal.), maintain the delicate colour harmonies of Kuindzhi and also connect with the concurrent work of other students of Kuindzhi such as Nicholas Roerich. Rylov exhibited with the World of Art group, although he did not share their enthusiasm for Art Nouveau and, in closer sympathy with the less affected style of the Moscow landscape school, he joined the Union of Russian Artists in 1903. Rylov favoured the Russian forest, the Black Sea, birds and animals as subject-matter, as in Seagulls (1910; St Petersburg, Rus. Mus.), and rarely investigated the portrait or the still-life.

Arkady Rylov
Arkady Alexandrovich Rylov (Russian: Аркадий Александрович Рылов; 29 January [O.S. 17 January] 1870 - June 22, 1939) was a Russian and Soviet Symbolist painter.
Biography
Rylov was born in the village Istobenskoye, Vyatka gubernia. He was brought in the family of his stepfather, a notary (Rylov's father had a psychiatric illness). He moved to Saint Petersburg and studied at the Technical Design School of Baron Schtiglitz (1888-1891), then at the Imperial Academy of Arts under Arkhip Kuindzhi (1894-1897).
Rylov was a member of the Mir iskusstva movement and its spin-off Union of Russian Artists also a member of the Association of Artists of the Revolutionary Russia. He was a chairman of the Kuindzhi Society.
He started as a historical painter (his graduation work in the Imperial Academy of Arts was Assault of Pechenegs on a Slav village but became a predominately landscape painter. Still many of his paintings have some allusions with Russian history.
Many of his landscapes painted after the October Revolution were seen as symbols of the revolutionary Freedom. At that time he also painted some typical Socialist Realism compositions like Lenin in Razliv. He taught in the Academy of Arts. In his studio he created almost a small nature reserve. There lived squirrels, rabbits, monkey Manka and many wild birds (without cages) and two anthills. According to Mikhail Nesterov wild animals and birds loved Rylov and often came to his studio.
Works
Rylov's most renowned works are the Green Noise of 1904 showing a spring landscape with some early Slavic ships on the background and the In the Blue Expanse of 1918 showing wild geese flying in the sky over a sea with some sailing ship in the bottom.
