Apollinary Vasnetsov Biography

(b Ryabovo, Vyatka province [now Kirov region], 6 Aug 1856; d Moscow, 23 Jan 1933). Painter and teacher, brother of (1) Viktor Vasnetsov. He received his early artistic training from his brother. Apollinary lived in St Petersburg from 1872 to 1875 and was influenced by the realist works of Il’ya Repin and Vasily Polenov. From 1878 he lived in Moscow, but he also travelled extensively in Russia and abroad. His first mature paintings document and celebrate the beauties of the Russian landscape. In My Native Land (1886; Moscow, Tret’yakov Gal.) the expansive, rural scene is filled with a golden light. His best, large-scale landscapes, such as The Russian North (St Petersburg, Rus. Mus.), capture the great distances, untouched forests and spectacular sunsets of Siberia.
