Fyodor Ivanovich Chaliapin (1873–1938) was a Russian opera singer who performed at the most prestigious theaters in the world – the Bolshoi, the Mariinsky and the Metropolitan Opera. Among the admirers of his talent were composers Sergei Prokofiev and Anton Rubinstein, music critic Vladimir Stasov called him a “great artist”, and Maxim Gorky called him a separate “epoch of Russian art.”
Chaliapin was a “make-up virtuoso” and created stage portraits, adding a bright picture to the powerful sound of the bass. The singer seemed to sculpt his face, contemporaries compared his manner of applying makeup with the canvases of Korovin and Vrubel.
