![]() ![]() Though he had never been a member of the Brotherhood of Saints Cyril and Methodius, Shevchenko was convicted in 1847 of explicitly promoting the independence of Ukraine, writing poems in the Ukrainian language and ridiculing members of the Russian Imperial House. He was a fellow of the Imperial Academy of Arts. Shevchenko is also known for his many masterpieces as a painter and an illustrator. He also wrote some works in Russian (nine novellas, a diary, and an autobiography). His literary heritage is regarded to be the foundation of modern Ukrainian literature and, to a large extent, the modern Ukrainian language, though this is different from the language of his poems. Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko (Ukrainian: Тарас Григорович Шевченко, pronounced without the middle name 9 March 1814 – 10 March 1861), also known as Kobzar Taras, or simply Kobzar (a kobzar is a bard in Ukrainian culture), was a Ukrainian poet, writer, artist, public and political figure, folklorist and ethnographer. ![]()
