Born in the family of clerks. Family Surikova of an old Cossack family, future master accustomed from childhood to perceive the surrounding Siberian way of life with its beautiful archaic and ancient traditions as a living history. In 1869-75 studies at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts under Pavel Chistyakov. He lived in St. Petersburg, and in 1877 in Moscow. He was a member of the Association of Traveling Art Exhibitions and the Union of Russian hudozhnikov.Postoyanno flock to Siberia, visited the Don (1893), Volga (1901-03), in the Crimea (1913). In 1880-90-ies visited France, Italy and several other European countries. Particularly impressed by him made the Italian and Spanish painters of the Renaissance, especially D. Velasquez and artists of the Venetian school, such as Veronese. In his letters to Western museums and exhibitions, he puts "pictures from affecting the meaning of" and "mogotu forms" - and in his own work ideology was born out of purely natural artistic impression, from the form, not reborn in a dry bias, which sometimes have sinned Wanderers . The result of studies at the Academy became the film "The Apostle Peter explains the tenets of faith" (1870, Russian Museum). Already in those years Surikov proved himself as a master of landscape, and the landscape of historical and associative ( "View of the monument to Peter I in St. Petersburg, 1870, ibid). An important school for him was work on the embellishment of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, creation of tracks for the paintings on the theme 4 of the Ecumenical Councils (sketches 1876-77 - ibid.).

"And once I saw a crow in the snow. Crow sits in the snow and wings one fielded, a black stain on the snow sits. So that's the spot for many years, I could not forget. Then Boyarynia Morozov wrote "

Memoirs Ya.D. Minchenkova.
"- Here, in St. Petersburg - said Surikov - live alone, officials, bureaucrats. Living people and living things there. It makes other people, but these are scraps of paper writing. Here and in the Academy: gather and begin to talk and talk endlessly, and then still speak "on the merits" as if the earlier conversation was without any substance. And in the art of doing just the one who says nothing else. "
     "We put" Suvorov "to the exhibition. Prince Vladimir ordered the lead there in the morning troops that they looked at their edification exploits commander. I found a picture in front of a scene. In the vast canvas, very close to him, is a platoon of soldiers. One rests in the eyes of a rock, another went slipping soldiers, a third horse's hoof Suvorov, who was standing before anything. Petty explains: "Look, guys! Remember how they explained the honor? Top Frenchman lives below the Italian, and in the middle porter. Here at our Generalissimo Suvorov French were pressing, but he fought back from him at this spot with all the glory of Russian arms for the faith, the tsar and the fatherland. Look, remember, so as not to make a slip when the poll will be. Left face! "And they left."
Memoirs I. Grabar.
"Once Girshman Perepletchikova and asked me to accompany him to Surikov, to help him choose him a few etudes. Surikov greeted us very warmly and showed sketches for "Sagittarius", "Morozova," the "Yermak". He first showed the weakest things, obviously not tsenivshiesya them, and only toward the end extracted from somewhere other place things any importance. Girshman from time to time inquire about the price and each time with a sigh:
- What are you, Vasily Ivanovich, but what can be so highly regarded such a tiny sketch?
And Vasily really gone too: "5 000, and no!"
- Assign, Vasily Ivanovich.
At this Surikov with a sly grin, winking at us with Perepletchikovym, said:
- I would like, but the name does not allow.
