Viktor Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov (1848 - 1926) Russian Painter | WAA
Viktor Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov was born 1848, died 23 July 1926, he was a Russian artist who specialized in mythological and historical subjects. He is considered the co-founder of Russian folklorist and romantic nationalistic painting, and a key figure in the Russian revivalist movement.
In 1876 Repin invited Vasnetsov to join the Peredvizhniki colony in Paris. While living in France, Viktor studied classical and contemporary paintings, academist and Impressionist alike. During that period, he painted Acrobats, produced prints, and exhibited some of his works at the Salon. When he turned to religious subjects and executed a series of icons for Abramtsevo estate of his patron Savva Mamontov.
This was a challenging work which ran contrary to both Russian and Western traditions of religious paintings. The influential art critic Vladimir Stasov labelled them a sacrilegious play with religious feelings of the Russian people. In 1915 Vasnetsov participated in the designing of a military uniform for the Victory parade of the Russian army in Berlin and Constantinopole.
