Anatolii Bazylevych

Anatolii Dmytrovych Bazylevych (7 June 1926 – 30 June 2005) was a Ukrainian artist and illustrator, recognised as a Merited Artist of the Ukrainian SSR in 1969 and as a People's Artist of Ukraine in 1993. He is best known for his book illustrations, particularly for Ivan Kotliarevsky's poem Eneida (Aeneid), which have become iconic in Ukrainian print graphics. The depth of his engagement with the literary text was such that the illustrations have become inseparable from the book and are often regarded as a landmark of Ukrainian printed graphics.
