Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel was born in Siberia , Russia to a colonel in the Russian army.Vrubel studied painting at the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts in St. Petersburg.Here, he learned from Chistiakov who would play a significant role in the development of Vrubel's style, just as he did with other great artists such as Ilya Repin, Vasilii Polenov, Victor Vasnetsov, Valentin Serov, and Vasilii. He was an active member of the Abramtsevo art circle and worked on decorative panels, paintings of Venice and Spain.
During his work on a portrait of the poet Valerii Briusov , Vrubel noticed that he was losing his sight and the realization that he would not be able to paint aggravated his mental condition. In the spring of 1910, in a fit of depression and despair, Vrubel stood in front of an open window, hoping to catch a cold; he died when the cold turned into pneumonia.
