Right mister by Vasily Polenov

After graduating from the Academy of Arts, Polenov saw himself as a historical painter and at first worked a lot in this direction. In Paris, he wrote two famous paintings – “The Right of the Master” and “The Huguenot arrest”, 1875.

The first of them, the theme for which was the notorious “right of the first night,” the artist even put up in the Paris Salon; It was approved by I. Kramsky and P. Chistyakov. He created the second work by order of Cesarevich Alexander – the theme for her was the fate of the second wife of the Huguenot leader Admiral de Coligny, Countess d’Etremont.

In these works Polenova clearly felt the influence of French salon painting and P. Delaroche, outwardly believable historical paintings of which were distinguished by sentimental interpretations. Already fascinated by the landscape during his trip to Normandy, Polenov – as if by inertia – continued to work on new historical paintings. Among them: “Rise of the Netherlands”, “Alexandrian School of Neo-Platonists”, etc. None of them was completed.
