Over het schilderij
In de woorden van het museum — in het Russisch
На тропинке в темном дремучем лесу - двое всадников на белом и кауром конях. На голове одного - шлем, на другом -красная с меховой оторочкой тулья на голове, распахнутый коричневый длиннополый кафтан. В просветах между деревьями в верхней части холста - белое облачное небо.

In het leven van Viktor Vasnetsov
Het hele leven3 mei 1848
Born
1863–1867
Elwiro Andriolli: “Give up the seminary”
The Polish artist Elwiro Andriolli, exiled to Vyatka after the uprising of 1863, noticed the young man’s talent and urged him to give up the seminary and go to the Academy of Arts — there were priests enough, good and bad, without him, but few people with such gifts; Vasnetsov helped him execute frescoes for Vyatka’s Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
1867
He leaves the seminary for St Petersburg
In 1867, with his father’s blessing, he left the Vyatka seminary and set off for St Petersburg to enter the Academy of Arts; he raised the money for the journey by auctioning his paintings “Woman Harvester” and “Milk-maid” (both 1867).

1868
Admitted to the Academy of Arts
In August 1868, at the second attempt, he was admitted to the Imperial Academy of Arts; the attempt a year earlier had not worked out.
1878
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.
