Mikhail Vrubel (1856-1910) was a Russian artist who is often considered the founder of that country’s Art Nouveau movement.

The man himself, however, eschewed any particular description and in his lifetime he was sometimes seen as remaining above mere labeling. He passed through periods of both acclaim and disfavor during his life, but in due course his paintings became seen as an important part of Russian artistic culture.

Personal Life

---

Vrubel was brought up by his father alone, since his mother had died when he was three years old.

The trajectory of his early life suggested that Vrubel would become a lawyer like his father. He went to the University of St. Petersburg to study law, but on finishing his studies in 1880, he was admitted to the Academy of Arts.
