This publication is devoted to Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov, one of the most influential figures in late-Imperial Russian art. Vasnetsov is best known for forging a distinctly national visual language that merged historical subjects, epic folklore, and myth with the stylistic currents of Symbolism and Art Nouveau. His work played a decisive role in shaping the romantic and monumental vision of Russia’s medieval and legendary past.
