Illustration du conte Ivan Tsarevich, l'oiseau de feu et le loup gris, lorsqu'il fuit dans la foret, tenant la belle Helene dans ses bras

Having done Victor Vasnetsov's Sivka-Burka as a 400pc Dreamton jigsaw and found some information on him, I thought I'd look to see what else I could find in my files by the artist.

 

This is a collage from a DaVici jigsaw from the Tretyakov Gallery collection. I wish I'd bought this one before Russia invaded Ukraine.

Davici Tretyakov Gallery 500pc Bogatyrs by Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov 1898.

 

The cut includes three large shields with lots of medieval warfare whimsies. It's interesting to see the same kinds of mace and other elements crop up in Ihor's cut that I used for Sivka-Burka.

 

I believe that this is Vasnetsov's best known painting.

Viktor Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov (1848 – 1926) was a Russian artist who specialised in mythological and historical subjects. He is considered a co-founder of Russian folklorist and romantic nationalistic painting, and a key figure in the Russian Revivalist movement.

Vasnetsov trained & worked in St Petersburg, where he became associated with Pepin & the Peredvizhniki movement. In 1876-7 he worked in Paris, then 1877-1884 in Moscow.

In 1884-1899 he was working on frescoes for St Vladimov's Cathedral Kiev. In Kiev Vasnetsov finally finished Ivan Tsarevich Riding a Grey Wolf and started his most famous painting, the Bogatyrs.

 

In 1885 the painter travelled to Italy. The same year he worked on stage designs and costumes for Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's opera The Snow Maiden and then the Rimsky-Korsakov premiere, Sadko.

 

At the turn of the century, Vasnetsov elaborated his hallmark "fairy-tale" style of Russian Revivalist architecture. His first acclaimed design was a church in Abramtsevo (1882), executed jointly with Vasily Polenov. In 1894, he designed his own mansion in Moscow. The Russian pavilion of the World Fair in Paris followed in 1898. Finally, in 1904, Vasnetsov designed the best known of his "fairy-tale" buildings – the façade of the Tretyakov Gallery.

 

Between 1906 and 1911, Vasnetsov worked on the design of the mosaics for Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Warsaw; he was also involved in the design of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Moscow. In 1912, he was given a noble title by Czar Nicholas II. In 1914, he designed a revenue stamp intended for voluntary collection for victims of World War I.

 

Even prior to the Russian Revolution, Vasnetsov became active as a regent of the Tretyakov Gallery. He allocated a significant portion of his income to the State Historical Museum, so that a large part of the museum's collection was acquired on Vasnetsov's money. After the October Revolution he advocated removing some of the religious paintings (notably those by Alexander Ivanov) from churches to the Tretyakov Gallery.

I asked Ihor of Dreamton to use this 400pc cut instead of the usual Fine Arts cut for the jigsaw Sivka-Burka by Viktor Vasnetsov. I thought the Medieval/Heraldic/Chivalric content would be appropriate to the subject and I liked the curvy, straplike pieces and the star connectors.

 

Ihor developed this cut for his own illustration 'Artist's Studio' - I don't understand the cut's relevance to this image which has a modern artist's studio with a view over an old city.

The State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia, is considered the foremost depository of Russian fine art in the world.

 

The gallery's history starts in 1856 when the Muscovite merchant Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov acquired works by Russian artists of his day with the aim of creating a collection, which might later grow into a museum of national art. In 1892, Tretyakov presented his already famous collection of approximately 2,000 works (1,362 paintings, 526 drawings, and 9 sculptures) to the Russian nation. The museum attracted 894,374 visitors in 2020, making it 13th on the list of most-visited art museums in the world.

 

The façade of the gallery building was designed by the painter Viktor Vasnetsov in a peculiar Russian fairy-tale style. It was built in 1902–04 to the south from the Moscow Kremlin. During the 20th century, the gallery expanded to several neighboring buildings, including the 17th-century church of St. Nicholas in Tolmachi. The collection contains more than 130,000 exhibits, ranging from the Theotokos of Vladimir to the monumental Composition VII by Wassily Kandinsky and the Black Square by Kazimir Malevich. In 1977 the Gallery kept a significant part of the George Costakis collection.

 

In May 2012, the Tretyakov Art Gallery played host to the prestigious FIDE World Chess Championship between Viswanathan Anand and Boris Gelfand as the organizers felt the event would promote both chess and art at the same time. In May 2023, the Tretyakov Gallery refused to hand over one of its most famous icons, Andrei Rublev's Trinity, to the Russian Orthodox Church. In June 2023 the icon was transferred to Moscow's main cathedral despite the museum's protests on the personal order of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

 

Administratively, the State Tretyakov Gallery organisation also includes a gallery of contemporary art in another part of central Moscow, and a number of other satellite galleries, including one in Kaliningrad, in the extreme west of Russia, and one in Vladivostok, in the far east.
