The Russian Museum of Emperor Alexander III. Painting Collection

This publication is based on a unique book by Baron Nikolai Nikolaevich Wrangel (1880–1915), a brilliant connoisseur of Russian art whose name, for obvious reasons, was forgotten during the Soviet period. His work introduces readers to the history of the creation of Russia's first museum of national fine art—the Russian Museum of Emperor Alexander III (since 1917, the State Russian Museum)—as well as its masterpieces—famous paintings by Bryullov, Aivazovsky, Shishkin, Surikov, Repin, and other great artists. The documentary material collected by Nikolai Wrangel is extensive: excerpts from newspapers and magazines, monographs, catalogs, archival documents, as well as fascinating information about the paintings provided by the artists themselves. Introductory articles introduce the history of the Mikhailovsky Palace, which houses the Russian Museum, and its creator, the great architect Karl Ivanovich Rossi. This publication is intended for a wide range of readers.
