| Research Abstract |
Vasily Kriukov should have been the first icon painter in Alaska. In the research of the icons supposed to be made by Kriukov in Unalaska in Aleutian Islands and in St. Michel's Cathedral in Sikta, it has become clear that Kriukov and the icon painters after him in Alaska have copied faithfully the original Russian icons which were brought into Alaska by the Russian missionaries. This attitude is the same with the way Rin Yamashita took when she made icons in Japan after 1889. So it is possible that Nikolai Kasatkin who followed his elder missionary Innokenti Veniaminov also took the same medieval idea about icons established in 787 in the second Nicaean Counsil in Byzantium. This medieval notion was contrary to the modern idea of art with the emphasis upon originality and artists' creation. It is the idea of the representation of the sacred and the beautiful and was preached by Russian missionaries to Asia including Alaska and Japan.
