Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel (March 17, 1856 – April 14, 1910) is usually considered to be one of the Russian painters of the Symbolist movement. However, he purposely stood apart from contemporary art trends. The origin of his unusual style could be rooted in Late Byzantine and Early Renaissance painting. Learn more »
