Biography
Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi (27 January [O.S. 15 January] 1841 – 24 July [O.S. 11 July] 1910) was a Russian landscape painter of Urum (Crimean Greek) origin.
Kuindzhi's exact date of birth is not known. Although it was believed that he was born in 1842, the latest discoveries in archives suggest that he was born in 1841. Kuindzhi himself, when asked by St. Petersburg Academy of Arts to clarify his date of birth, "clearly wrote 1841, then, with doubt, January, and then several times crossed out the month".
The researchers believe he was born somewhere between January and March 1841. The commonly recognized date is 27 January, although Kuindzhi celebrated his name day on 19 February [N.S. 3 March] 1841, on the feast of Archippus.
Arkhip Kuindzhi was born in Mariupol uezd, in Yekaterinoslav Governorate of the Russian Empire, but spent his youth in the city of Taganrog. His Christian name is a Russian rendering of the Greek Archippos, and his surname came from his grandfather's vocational nickname meaning 'goldsmith' in Crimean Tatar (Urum) (Crimean Tatar: quyumcı).
