Rudolph Frenz (1888 - 1956) was a prominent Russian and Soviet artist and art educator working in the genre of battle painting. His interest in and fascination with depiction of battle scenes began early, specializing in it even as he studied to become a painter. In 1915 he was sent to the front lines as a painter. He continued to work on different fronts until 1916, during which time he created nearly 100 water colors.
