In the State Tretyakov Gallery, which is situated in Krymskiy Val Street, a large-scale exhibition was opened. It is devoted to the 175th birthday of Ivan Shishkin, a famous Russian landscape painter. 18 museums of Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Minsk, Kiev, Kazan and Novgorod granted Shishkin’s works from their collections. Guests of the exhibition can see more than 200 works of the painter. These are not only legendary “Morning in a Pine Forest”, “Forest Expanses”, “Oaks”, “Rye”, but also works that are much less known. Some of them were even supposed to be lost.
In the gallery some rare winter landscapes are exhibited, for example a picture of a pine tree covered with snow – an illustration to the famous Lermontov’s poem, which was ordered to Shishkin by Kushnirov’s publishing house.
Experts on Shishkin’s creative work understand that the artist mostly succeeded not in painting but in graphics. His etchings, sketches and pencil drafts are also exhibited and moreover they form the core of the exhibition.
In the gallery the creative studio of the artist is reproduced. You can see “magic lanterns” – projectors of the 19th century, ancient photo cameras, copper plates, maps, atlases, and photos. Shishkin advised to those people, who did not have such a remarkable visual memory as he did, to advance their skills by copying landscapes from photos.
The State Tretyakov Gallery in Krymskiy Val Street is situated within ten minutes of walking distance from the Alrosa na Kazachyem Hotel.
