Asia and the East through the eyes of Russian artists RBTH 19 May 2021, 16:55 GMT+10 It was common for pre-revolutionary Russian artists to travel around Europe, and some spent their entire lives there. But other intrepid souls were more attracted to the biblical landscapes of the Middle East and the unexplored terrain of distant Asia. Vasily Vereshchagin (1842-1904) Vasily Vereshchagin was a military man for whom painting was more of a hobby. And it is primarily his battle paintings that earned him fame. He traveled extensively with the military, including to remote areas of the Russian Empire. A whole series of paintings he dedicated to the Central Asian region of Turkestan (present-day Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan). The artist also traveled to India and China, where he painted his most famous (and ghoulish) painting The Apotheosis of War. That was followed by trips to the Middle East, Syria and Palestine.
