Nikolay Nikolayevich Gritsenko (1856 – 1900) was a Russian painter who specialized in painting ships and seascapes.

He joined the Russian Navy early on, and was quickly noticed for his artistic skills. The Russian government even sent him to Paris to learn how to paint.

At the Paris art school, his professor was his compatriot, Alexey Bogolyubov.

He died in France.

Gritsenko painted several places in Normandy (and France), which will be featured eventually on this site. A link “” to those cities will appear below when published.

Veules-les-Roses was, and still is, a popular place for artists since it’s very pretty, with France’s smallest river running through it, several watermills, watercrest fields and most thatched roof houses that are still intact after centuries. The town owns its name thanks to the many roses planted here.

Here are all the artists that have worked in Veules-les-Roses and its surroundings (a link “⇠” will appear next to their names when published):

NOTE: A “*” next to their name means the artist did NOT work in the Veules itself, instead worked nearby.
