Georgy
Pashkov was born in 1886. The Pashkov family, a family of
iconographers in Moscow, had a high reputation for decades and had the patronage of the
Imperial family. Georgy Pashkov and his brothers Pavel and Nikolai graduated from the
Stroganov Art School and became successful Moscow artists. They were appreciated as
decorators. The Pashkov brothers participated in a number of important decorating projects supported by the
Russian Royal Family. In 1912, Georgy Pashkov with his brother Nikolai decorated the lower church of the
Feodorovsky Imperial Cathedral in
Tsarskoye Selo. In 1914, they also painted
frescos in the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God Joy to All the Afflicted for the Community of the Sisters of Charity of the Red Cross in Tsarskoye Selo. For this work, they received the honorary title of
Court Artists. Another field of the Pashkovs' artistic activity was commercial advertising. In particular, Georgy Pashkov created a significant number of advertising
posters in the pre-
World War I times. == Postage stamps ==
