Osipov (1915–1985), executed in 1972 during the one of his visit of Staritsa ancient town and recognized as one of his most famous works in the genre of winter cityscape. == History == Staritsa ((ロシア語:Старица)) is a town and the administrative center of Staritsky District of Tver Oblast, located on the Volga River, from Tver, with population of 8,607 (2010). Staritsa located not far from Osipov's native Bezhetsky District. The town was established in 1297 under the name of Gorodok (), lit. ''small town''). Since the 15th century, the town has been called Staritsa. In the 15th century, the local principality was ruled by Ivan III's son Andrey, and then by Andrey's son Vladimir. While Ivan the Terrible had no children, Vladimir was regarded by boyars as his only heir. As the Tsar suspected Staritsa's ruler of plotting against him, Vladimir and his children were forced to take poison. The opulence of Staritsa during Vladimir's reign can be seen in the Assumption abbey. Later in 1775, Staritsa became a center of an uyezd. Osipov especially liked to paint city Staritsa in winter. He was attracted by the preserved ancient Russian architecture and picturesque location of the town. In these trips his companions were artists Arseny Semionov, Vladimir Ovchinnikov, Alexander Naumov, Dmitry Buchkin, Vecheslav Monakhov.
