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.
Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel was a Russian painter, sculptor, and draftsman who was a pioneer of Modernism with an original vision. An innovator by nature, Vrubel rejected tradition, but he was out of step with his times. He was misunderstood by his contemporaries, and his life ended tragically.
He survived for four years, but his physical and mental deterioration continued until his death in 1910. Despite the fact that his sickness spanned his entire artistic life, few scholars have devoted much study to the effects that syphilis might have had upon Vrubel’s art.
