The Tretyakov Gallery
I am a very creative person. I like to sculpt, draw and sketch, so my favorite places are picture galleries, but not all of them. The gallery that really interests me is the Tretyakov Gallery The Gallery’s collection consists entirely of Russian art and artists who have made a contribution to the history of Russian art or are closely connected to it. The collection contains more than 130000 works of paintings, sculpture and graphics, created throughout the centuries by successive generations of Russian artists. The Gallery’s history starts in 1856 when the Moscow merchant Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov (1832-1898) acquired works by the Russian artists of his day with the aim of creating a collection, which later would grow into a museum of national art. In 1892, Tretyakov presents his already famous collection of Russian art. The façade of the Gallery was designed by Russian painter Viktor Vasnetsov in a peculiar Russian fairy-tale style. It was built in 1902-1904 to the south of Moscow Kremlin. I have been in the Tretyakov Gallery three times and I am proud that I live in a city which has such a great gallery. | |
