Ivan Rutkovych

Ivan Rutkovych (c. 1650–c. 1708) was a Ruthenian Baroque icon painter, born near Zolochiv in the Lviv region. He worked chiefly at Zhovkva and Univ and is regarded as founder of the Zhovkva school of icon painting and wood carving, making iconostases for village wooden churches with other masters.

His seven-row iconostasis for the Church of the Nativity in Zhovkva (1697–1699), now in the Lviv National Museum, is counted a masterpiece of Ukrainian art. Blending Byzantine tradition with secular, realistic European influences, he died between 1703 and 1708.
