Viktor estudou num seminário em Vyatka desde os dez anos de idade e durante este período teria trabalhado para um criador local de ícones e também auxiliado um artista exilado da Polônia, Michał Elwiro Andriolli, a executar afrescos para a Catedral de Alexander Nevsky, em Vyatka.

No início dos anos 1870, ele executou uma série de gravuras que descrevem a vida contemporânea. Duas delas participaram da “Exposição Mundial” em Londres (1874), pelo que ganhou uma medalha de bronze. Nesse período, ele também começou a produzir pinturas de gênero em óleo.

Em 1876 foi para Paris e estudou pinturas clássicas e contemporâneas. Foi em Paris que ele ficou fascinado com temas de contos de fadas. Em 1877 ele foi para Moscou. No final dos anos 1870 concentrou-se em ilustrações de contos de fadas russos e bylinas. A partir de 1880, ele se voltou para assuntos religiosos e executou uma série de ícones para “Abramtsevo ”, propriedade de seu patrono Savva Mamontov. Em 1884 Viktor foi contratado para pintar afrescos na Catedral de São Vladimir, em Kiev. Em 1885, o pintor viajou para a Itália e trabalhou em cenografias e figurinos para óperas. Em 1894, Viktor projetou sua própria mansão em Moscou e, em 1898, o pavilhão russo da “Feira Mundial” de Paris. Finalmente, em 1904, Viktor projetou o mais conhecido de seus "contos de fadas" - o edifício da “Tretyakov Gallery”. Entre 1906 e 1911, o artista trabalhou no projeto dos mosaicos para a “Alexander Nevsky Cathedral”, em Varsóvia, e também em Moscou. Viktor Vasnetsov morreu em Moscou, em 23 de julho de 1926.
