The tale of epics Nikita Bogdanov by Vasily Polenov

This wonderful portrait dates back to the time when Polenov intensively “sorted out” genres, trying to find his way in art. He did not become a portrait painter, this work stands apart in his work.

But the choice of “material” opens up some intimate interests of the artist; later they expressed themselves in the enthusiasm of the Old Russian culture as part of the activities of the Abramtsevo artistic circle.
