Who is Vassili Surikov?
Born in 1848 in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, Vassili Surikov is one of the greatest Russian painters of the 19th century. Trained at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, he early on turned to history painting, which he profoundly renewed through a human and realistic approach.
Unlike the idealized history, Vassili Surikov focuses on moments of rupture: executions, exiles, religious and political conflicts. He meticulously studies the costumes, architectures, and faces of the Russian people to convey a striking emotional and psychological truth.
His work occupies a central place in Russian culture, alongside the literature of Tolstoy or Dostoevsky, due to its ability to reveal the collective soul of a people.
