Detail of an ornamental motif for the murals of St. Volodymir’s Cathedral (Kyiv)
It was published in the journal “Iskusstvo i Khudozhestvennaya Promyishlennost” (1898, No. 3).
Vladimir Stasov mistakenly attributed this ornamentation to Viktor Vasnetsov and offered high praise of the stylistic intuition it represented; at the same time, the critic wrote in exclusively disparaging terms of Mikhail Vrubel. Both artists demanded a correction.
