Note du spécialiste

Victor Vasnetsov (1848-1926) was one of the great Russian epic painters, whose depictions of historicist figures and events hold sway over the national imagination to this day. Many of his works were reproduced on Russian enamels in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Departure of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich for the Hunt, (1897), however, was seldom reproduced, and surviving examples are rare. The original watercolor is today in the collection of the Novosibirsk Region Picture Gallery, Russia.
