About At the Fortress Walls Let them Enter Vasili Vasilievich Vereshchagin Orientalist Art Painting
Vasily Vasilyevich Vereshchagin was one of the most famous Russian battle painters and one of the first Russian artists to be widely recognized abroad. His father was a Russian landowner of noble birth. When he was eight years old he was sent to Tsarskoe Selo to enter the Alexander cadet corps, and three years later he entered the naval school at St Petersburg, making his first voyage in 1858. He graduated first in the list from the naval school, but left the service immediately to begin the study of drawing in earnest. He won a medal two years later, in 1863, from the St Petersburg Academy for his Ulysses slaying the Suitors. In 1864 he proceeded to Paris, where he studied under Gerome, though he dissented widely from his master's methods.
