Born in Moscow. In 1846 he entered the drawing school (later the Stroganov School). The young artist was attracted by the theme of ancient Russian Orthodox culture. He studied and copied ancient icons, miniatures and ornaments from ancient books. On his experiences drew attention in St. Synod and invited to travel to the old Russian cities, where Dmitry Mikhailovich copied church antiquities. Soon, Dmitry Strukov founded a school of icon painting in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. In 1858, he initiated the publication of the journal School of Drawing. In addition to drawing icons, Strukov tried himself in the construction of temples and the construction of iconostasis, as well as engaged in the study of architecture.
In 1864, Count M. N. Muravyov , the former head of the North-Western Territory, invited Dmitry Mikhailovich Strukov to Belarus to participate in an artistic expedition. An important task of the expedition was “finding in the land of ancient Russian monuments or, at least, traces of those of them that were destroyed in blind hatred of Orthodoxy and Russian people”. During the expedition, D. Strukov sketched with color watercolors, ink and slate monuments of culture and architecture, works of art from various materials, pagan monuments, icons and salaries of books, views of cities and localities. The appearance of some temples and many monuments of artistic culture is known to us only by the works of D. M. Strukov.
In 1867, the Moscow Archaeological Society sent Strukov to the Crimea and the Caucasus to explore Christian antiquities. Since then, the artist and scientist, mainly engaged in the study of the Crimea.
Dmitry Mikhailovich died in 1899, a year after the death of his wife. He was buried in the cemetery of the Donskoy
