Chirin, Prokopii Ivanovich
Died in the mid-17th century. Russian painter of the Stroganov school. In the 1620’s, Chirin was a favorite artist of the tsar and a master of the Oruzheinyi Prikaz (State Armory).

Nikita (early 17th century, Russian Museum, Leningrad), St. John the Warrior (early 17th century, Russian Museum, Leningrad), and The Tikhvin Virgin (late 16th-early 17th century, Tret’iakov gallery, Moscow).
