Viktor Vasnetsov. Preparatory works for murals of St. Vladimir cathedral in Kiev. 1885-1896
The Tretyakov Gallery and the RF Ministry of Culture - April 18th 2012 - September 8th 2013
Viktor Vasnetsov (1848-1926) is one of the most popular Russian artists of the second half of the XIXth – first half of the XX century. In his art one can find the origins of the modernism in Russian painting.
Famous for his historic and fairy-tale paintings Vasnetsov was seriously interested in religious paintings. The artist thought that during the spiritual crisis the Church was destined to unite the people, and that the reviving religious art might have become public and understandable due to expression of national ideals in it.
The exhibition presents Vasnetsov's preparatory works for murals of St. Vladimir Cathedral in Kiev (1885-1896)
