Vasily Ivanovich Surikov was born in Krasnoyarsk into a family of Siberian Cossacks. Surikov said later that growing up in the severe natural conditions of Siberia gave him the ideals his culture's historical characters, spirit, strength, & health.

He received his first art lessons from his school teacher, N. V. Grebnev, who, seeing the talent of the boy, started to work with him individually. After finishing school in 1868, the young man left for St. Petersburg on horse-back to join the Academy. He spent a year on his journey, because on his way he made frequent stops in the ancient towns through which he passed. In 1869, he entered the Academy of Art.

“When I moved to Moscow, this center of the nation, I immediately found my way in art,” reported Surikov. After the collector of Russian art, Pavel Tretyakov, bought both of Surikov’s history canvases, the artist had money to go abroad. He visited Germany, Italy, France, & Austria, studying and admiring the rich collections & different schools of painting.  In 1887, Surikov’s wife died. Her death caused him to fall into a deep depression. He gave up painting, turned to religion, & left with his children for Siberia.

The atmosphere, familiar from his childhood, plus the caring attitude of his friends restored him to life. In 1891, in Siberia, Surikov painted his most joyous picture Taking of a Snow Fortress, which shows a Siberian game in which a horseman must jump over a sow wall, defended by young people with twigs & whips.

Besides his famous historical pictures, Surikov created many portraits & self-portraits which show his interest in the culture of his country as well as the inner world of his models. Surikov executed only about 9 historical canvases out of hundreds of portraits, studies, & sketches; but he is still considered one of Russia's greatest historical painters.
