A. Vasily Vereshchagin, 1842–1904, was one of the most famous Russian battle painters and one of the first Russian artists to be widely recognized abroad. He is best known for his military pictures, which portrayed war in all its horror and brutality. He is known also for his studies of Turkistan and Asian life and the canvases dealing with Anglo-Indian history. The role of the artist and his work embrace the causes, course, and consequences of conflict, and has an essentially educational purpose.

B. Vereshchagin was born at Cherepovets, Novgorod Governorate, as the middle of three brothers. His father was a 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 Sea Cadet Corps at St Petersburg. He served on the frigate Kamchatka, which sailed to Denmark, France and Egypt. But he left the service immediately to begin the study of drawing. He won a medal two years later, in 1863, from the St Petersburg Academy for his painting Ulysses Slaying the Suitors.

C. In 1867 he was invited to accompany General Konstantin Kaufman's expedition to Turkestan. He was granted the rank of ensign. His heroism at the siege of Samarkand from June 2–8, 1868 resulted an award of the Cross of St George (4th class). He was an indefatigable traveler, returning to St. Petersburg in late 1868, to Paris in 1869, back to St. Petersburg later in the year, and then back to Turkestan at the end 1869 via Siberia. In late 1874, he departed for an extensive tour of the Himalayas, India and Tibet, spending over two years in travel.

D. With the start of the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878), Vereshchagin left Paris and returned to active service with the Imperial Russian Army. He was with the Russian army during the; he was present at the crossing of the Shipka Pass and at the Siege of Plevna, where his brother was killed; and he was dangerously wounded during the preparations for the crossing of the Danube near Rustchuk. At the conclusion of the war, he acted as secretary to General Skobelev at San Stefano.

After the war, he settled at Munich, where Vereshchagin produced his war pictures. The sensational subjects of his pictures, and their didactic aim, the promotion of peace by a representation of the horrors of war, attracted the public.

E. The "1812" series on Napoleon's Russian campaign, on which Vereshchagin also wrote a book, seem to have been inspired by Tolstoi's War and Peace, and were painted in 1893 at Moscow. Prior to the celebraton of the 200th anniversary of the Patriotic War of 1812 the State Historical Museum has organized this exhibition of paintings by Vasily Vereshchagin. Twenty grandiose picturesque paintings chronicle the events from the Battle of Borodino to the flight of Napoleon from Russia.

F. Vereshchagin was in the Far East during the First Sino-Japanese War, with the American troops in the Philippines, and with the Russian troops in Manchuria. During the Russo-Japanese War, he was invited by Admiral Stepan Makarov to join him aboard Makarov's flagship, Petropavlovsk. On April 13, 1904, Petropavlovsk struck two mines while returning to Port Arthur and sank, taking down with it most of the crew, including both Admiral Makarov and Vereshchagin. Vereshchagin's last work, a picture of a council of war presided over by Admiral Makarov, was recovered almost undamaged.
