Meanwhile, in the life of Apollinary Vasnetsov
The whole life1885–1914
Work as a Theatre Designer
He began working as a theatre designer in 1885 at Savva Mamontov's Private Russian Opera; in the early 1900s he created sets for operas including Rimsky-Korsakov's "Sadko" and "The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh" for the Mariinsky Theatre (1908) and the final scene of "A Life for the Tsar" for the Bolshoi Theatre (1914).
autumn 1898
Trip to Europe
In the autumn of 1898 he went to Europe "in the line of duty": he visited France, Italy, Switzerland, and German cities; in Paris he settled near the Latin Quarter and sought to take part in the Salon of 1899. The trip "lightened" his palette — without it, he said, he "would have remained a black painter."
1898
Italy: Vesuvius and Venice
In Italy he visited Rome, Tivoli, Naples, and Pompeii, made a risky ascent to the crater of the active Vesuvius, and painted studies at the volcano's mouth; Venice left a deep impression, reflected in the study "Venice. The Lagoon."

Academician of the Academy of Arts
He became an academician of the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, and from 1903 a full member.
