10971historical_info = flavor_mos.95.historical_info Bogdan Khitrovo was a Russian statesman who excelled in managing several prikazi offices during the reigns of two consecutive Tsars. This position allowed him to oversee the icon painters employed at court, influencing them in the process. Fascinated by Western culture, Bogdan sought to use his influence to introduce it to the leading artistic circles of the time, resulting in a significant influx of prevalent ideas such as naturalism. This ushered in a new era for Russian art, marking a departure from the traditional icon-painting practices that had been in use since the Middle Ages.
