Abstract
The article examines the biography of the Altai icon painter V. F. Balykin, who was born in the peasant Old Believers’ family, lived far and separately from the spiritual centers of iconography, but created his own recognizable image of the canonical icon. Basing on the gathered collection of the local master in the Altai Krai State Fine Arts Museum, the author conducts the analysis of the characteristic features of the icon painter’s technology, iconographic topics, in particular from the point of view of their distribution in the Old Believers’ environment.
