In 2023, 175 years have passed since the birth of the famous master of household and historical painting V.M. Vasnetsov (1848-1926). By this date, as part of the exhibition project "Picture of the Month", two graphic works will be presented at the exposition: "Dinner Menu" by Vasnetsov V. M. and "Portrait of Vasnetsov" by Mate V. V.
The exhibition includes a graphic portrait "Portrait of V.M. Vasnetsov" (1898) by Vasily Mate (1856-1917), who engraved it from a portrait by Ivan Kramskoy (1837-1887). V. V. Mate executed a series of portraits of outstanding contemporaries in the popular etching technique. These iconographically accurate images were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The exhibition includes a graphic sheet "Menu for dinner on May 20th, 1896", in the design of which Viktor Vasnetsov borrowed motifs from ancient Russian traditions. Vasnetsov often turned to ethnographic motifs as a source of inspiration, developing beautiful letters, compositions, screensavers. His works, in turn, aroused interest in Russian history and folklore in the artist Ivan Bilibin (1876-1942). The exhibition includes several lithographs of Bilibin from private collections – an illustration of Russian fairy tales made in 1906.
