VASILY IVANOVICH SURIKOV 

On this day of 24th January, Vasily Ivanovich Surikov (24 January 1848 – 19 March 1916) was born to an old Yenisei Cossack family descending from Don Cossacks that had settled in Siberia, Russia.

He was a Realist history painter. Many of his works have become familiar to the general public through their use as illustrations.

He came into contact with Pavel Zamyatin, the Governor of the Yenisei, who was able to find him a patron: Pyotr Kuznetsov, a local merchant who owned several small gold mines.

He rode on horseback to Saint Petersburg but was unable to qualify for admission to the Imperial Academy of Arts, so he studied at the drawing school of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts. A year later he gained admission to the Academy.

He studied with Pavel Chistyakov, Bogdan Willewalde, and Pyotr Shamshin, winning several medals. His great attention to composition earned him a nickname, "The Composer". In 1875, he graduated with the title of Artist, first degree.

He received a commission to paint murals at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, and he moved to Moscow.

On the 100th anniversary of his birth, his estate in Krasnoyarsk became a museum.

A biographical movie of his life (Vasily Surikov) was made by Mosfilm.

Numerous streets and squares throughout Russia have been named after him, as well as a crater on Mercury.
