Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel (Russian: Михаил Александрович Врубель; March 17, [O.S. March 5] 1856 – April 14, [O.S. April 1] 1910) was a Russian painter, draughtsman, and sculptor.
By 1903 the condition of the artist seemed to be improving, yet another tragedy shook the family as Mikhail's and Nadezhda's son Savva fell ill and passed away. Vrubel’s further life was full of sorrow and his mental state was extremely unstable.
An even less explored aspect of Vrubel is the possible relationship between his work and the venereal disease that eventually killed him. Vrubel contracted syphilis, probably in 1885, at the beginning of his artistic career, and suffered periodically from its effects for the rest of his life.
In the winter of 1910, Vrubel deliberately stood before an open window and caught a cold. The same year he died from pneumonia and was buried in St. Petersburg. His wife, Nadezhda Zabela-Vrubel, outlived him only by three years. Return to See Vrubel's Works
