Viktor
Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov was a Russian artist who specialized in mythological and
historical subjects. He is considered the co-founder of Russian folklorist and
romantic nationalistic painting (see also neo-romanticism), and a key figure in
the Russian revivalist movement. 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. In
1915 Vasnetsov participated in the designing of a military uniform for the
Victory parade of Russian army in Berlin and Constantinopole. Vasnetsov is
credited with the creation of the budenovka (initially named bogatyrka), a
military hat reproducing the style of ancient Rus' cone-shaped helmets. He died
in Moscow in 1926.
