Years of birth and death unknown. Russian painter of the turn of the 18th century.
Son of the icon painter I. Filat’ev, Tikhon Filat’ev was an artist in the Armory, a zhalovannyi icon painter (a painter of the highest category, receiving in addition to daily board a yearly remuneration of money and foodstuffs). Filat’ev’s works, in which green and magenta tones were combined with gold, were characterized by a rich palette. Like his teacher S. Ushakov, Filat’ev strove for the chiaroscuro effect and a sense of real space in his paintings.
