      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s" align="justify">Fyodor Vasilyev was a Russian landscape painter who introduced the lyrical landscape style in Russian art.Vasilyev was born to a low level government official, Alexander Vasilyevich Vasilyev, and Olga Emelyanova Polyntseva on 22 February N.S. 1850. His parent married four years later, so he was always considered an illegitimate child. Feodor had to earn his living from the age of 12 – he worked as a mailman, scribe, and assistant to a restorer of pictures. After his father’s untimely death, he became the sole supporter of the family.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Wet Meadow</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1863, he managed to enter the evening classes of the School of Painting at the Society for Promotion of Artists (Russian: ????? ????????? ?????????). While at school, Vasilyev got acquainted with many painters, who took care of him.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img width="auto" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/vasilyev/Vasilyev_IlluminationInStPetersburg.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Illumination in St. Petersburg 1869</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1866 famous landscape painter Ivan Shishkin fell in love with Feodor’s sister Eugenia Vassilyev. Shishkin became acquainted with Feodor and started to teach him landscape painting. From July to November of 1867 Shishkin and Vassilyev worked together on island of Valaam. Some places on Valaam were subjects of both artist’s paintings. Later Shishkin introduced Feodor to Ivan Kramskoi, Ilya Repin, and art collectors Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov and Pavel Sergeevich Stroganov. Later Vasilyev became a major competitor to Ivan Shishkin and the later was often accused of using intrigues and administrative influence trying to win over Vasilyev on different art competitions.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In Vasilyev’s early works, such as After a Thunderstorm (1868), Near a Watering Place (1868) and others, one can feel the influence of the Barbizon school; it affected his art but never resulted in a non-creative borrowing of the motifs. Though, at first, Vasilyev was somewhat inferior technically to the Barbizon painters, most critics agree that he eventually found his own way of handling the subject. After a Rain (1869) and After a Rain. Country Road exceed in many respects the Barbizon stormy scenes in their expressiveness and deeply national sound.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">After a Thunderstorm 1868</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1870, Vasilyev traveled on the Volga with Ilya Repin, the picture Volga View. Barges(1870) was a great success. In 1870 he became a member of Peredvizhniki movement (one of the original twenty members).</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/vasilyev/440px-Vasilyev_barges_on_Volga.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Barges on the Volga 1870</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1871, Vasilyev painted Thaw (1871), which made him famous immediately. The tzar family’s (Prince Alexander, future Alexander III of Russia), ordered a copy, and the Society for Promotion of Artists awarded him first prize. Later Prince Alexander’s copy was exponated on the 1872 London World Fair and won a medal. Vasilyev was admitted, as an intern, to the Imperial Academy of Arts (which, among other things, gave him an exception from conscription to the Army).</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Thaw 1871</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">The “boy genius”, as he was called in the artistic circles of Russia, had no time to enjoy his popularity – he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and had to leave St. Petersburg forever. He moved to Crimea. The Society for Promotion of Artists sponsored his stay there, but he was obliged to pay with his paintings.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Pond at Sunset 1871</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Vasilyev could not get used to the new scenery. He went on to paint the Russian plains; his works, such as his masterpiece Wet Meadow (1872), were done from memory, old sketches and his imagination. After some time Vasilyev started to draw Crimea, gradually beginning to feel the attraction to its mountain views. Mountains of Crimea (1873) was an outstanding work and the last work of the artist.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Mountains of Crimea 1873</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He died in Yalta on October 6 N.S. 1873 at the age of 23. His posthumous exhibition in Saint Petersburg was a great success, and all his works were sold prior to the exhibition. His works had a strong influence on the next generation of Russian landscape painters. Nikolai Ge said, He discovered for us the Sky. Many art historians emphasize Fedor Vasilyev’s influence on Isaac Levitan, Valentin Serov, Viktor Borisov-Musatov.</p>
