Based in Moscow, he travelled to Northern and Southern Russia, as well as to Italy, Germany, France and Spain. He was a member of the progressive artist group known as The Association of Travelling Art Exhibitions (aka The Wanderers, or Itinerants) and was frequently represented in their exhibitions. While Surikov’s main contribution to Russian art is his series of large-scale historical canvases, he also painted landscapes, portraits, and watercolours. Patronized by several art collectors including Pavel Tretyakov (1832-98), and Savva Mamontov (1841-1918), his greatest masterpieces include narrative works, like The Morning of the Execution of the Streltsy (1878-81, Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow), Menshikov at Beriozov (1883, Tretyakov) and The Boyarina Morozova (1887, Tretyakov); portraiture, like Portrait of Unknown Girl Against a Yellow Background (1911, Russian Museum, St Petersburg) and Man with an Injured Arm (1913, Russian Museum); landscapes, like Zubovsky Boulevard in Winter (Tretyakov), and genre works like The Taking of the Snow Fortress (1891, Russian Museum, St Petersburg).“ --- MUSIC: Kevin MacLeod - There’s Probably No Time There’s Probably No Time by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license () Source: Artist: SUBSCRIBE: Facebook: Instagram: Contact: LearnFromMasters01@ LIST OF ARTISTS already posted on LearnFromMasters: --- Thank you so much for your support! #LearnFromMasters #RussianPainter #Realism #OnlineArtGallery #CollectionOfPaintings #ArtHistory #VasilySurikov
