Tretyakov Gallery

We all know that the Tretyakov Gallery is the world’s largest collection of paintings by Russian artists. These pictures we are used to seeing from childhood from the pages of textbooks, magazines, books. But, believe me, you understand all their value only when you stand in front of the picture. Faina Ranevskaya, who served in many theaters in Moscow, to the question of which of them she found genuine art, invariably answered “In the Tretyakov Gallery”. Yes, there is really pure, authentic art, inspiring and supporting the viewer in all life situations. Let us recall Serov’s “Girl with Peaches”, Shishkin’s “Morning in the Pine Bowl”, Savrasov’s “Rooks Have Arrived”: what different emotions they cause in the viewer, but this is our native art that affects the deep strings of the Russian character! The Tretyakov Gallery presents many paintings in which the characters of Russian history “The Morning of the Strelets Execution” Surikov, “Tsarevna Sophia” Repin, “Boyaryn Morozova” Surikov, “Ivan the Terrible Kills His Son” and others appear as alive. And immediately, historical events become close and understandable, as if they happened only yesterday. Fans of Russian icon painting can visit the hall of ancient Russian art, which contains the originals of the icons of Andrei Rublev (Trinity, Archangel Michael, Spas), Dionysius. Maximus the Greek. Come for a tour of the Tretyakov Gallery! You will learn interesting facts from the biographies of artists, the history of painting, and I will also tell you about the main stages of the development of Russian painting.
