Con le parole del museo — in russo
Впервые Виктор Васнецов побывал в Абрамцеве в 1878 году по приглашению хозяев усадьбы Саввы и Елизаветы Мамонтовых. Став полноправным членом абрамцевского художественного кружка, он приезжал сюда постоянно, останавливаясь на первых порах неподалеку, в селе Ахтырка. Его влекла не только творческая атмосфера, царившая в доме мецената, и возможность близкого общения с художниками мамонтовского кружка, но и красивая природа. Летом 1880 года художник задумал написать картину «Алёнушка» (1881, Третьяковская галерея) и выполнил к ней множество подготовительных работ, среди которых 4 рисунка, 16 этюдов и эскизов маслом.

Участок густого заброшенного леса с одинокими осинками и елочками на опушке, найденный в окрестностях Ахтырки, вполне соответствовал задуманной композиции. Помимо свежести этюдного восприятия, натурный пейзаж наполнен ощущением тревоги, которую художник искал в природе, чтобы выразить чувство печали и одиночества, испытываемого его Алёнушкой.

Nel frattempo, nella vita di Viktor Vasnetsov
Tutta la vita1878
He moves to Moscow, the city of his life’s work
In 1878, his resolve strengthened by Mamontov’s letter, he moved to Moscow, the city to which most of his creative life would be tied: he settled in a small flat in 3rd Ushakovsky Lane near Ostozhenka, walked the city for hours admiring the Kremlin and St Basil’s, and until 1885 the family changed rented flats in Moscow six times.
1878–1880
Mamontov’s commission for the Donetsk Railway
Repin brought him to the house of Savva Mamontov, who commissioned three fairy-tale pictures for the boardroom of the Donetsk Railway — “The Battle of the Russians with the Scythians”, “The Flying Carpet” and “The Three Princesses of the Underground Kingdom” (the princesses of gold, precious stones and coal); the princess Coal, a modest dark-haired girl in a black dress, was especially successful.
1878–1890 · Carriera
the Peredvizhniki
From 1878 he belonged to the Society of Travelling Art Exhibitions (the Peredvizhniki): he took part in its activity in 1878–1890 and exhibited with it until 1897; he was admitted for the realism and sharp social subjects of his genre paintings.
1879
His daughter Tatyana, the first of five children, is born
In 1879 his daughter Tatyana was born, later an artist and keeper of her father’s legacy; sons followed — Boris (1880), Alexei (1882), Mikhail (1884) and Vladimir (1889).
June 1880
His first visit to Mamontov’s Abramtsevo
In June 1880, with his brother Apollinary, he first came to Abramtsevo at Savva Mamontov’s invitation and joined the circle of Repin, Polenov, Serov and other artists, where he became one of the leaders of the national-romantic current.
