Later, the Western European paintings in the Tretyakov Gallery were transferred to the Hermitage and the A. S. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, and the Tretyakov Gallery began to specialize exclusively in Russian art.

The gallery has an excellent selection of the best works by the "peredvizhniki": Ilya Repin (including "Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan"), Victor Vasnetsov, Ivan Shishkin, Vasiliy Surikov ("The Morning of the Strelets Execution"), Vasiliy Vereshchagin and others.
The blossoming of many areas of Russian art at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries is also well represented.

After the relatively short period of the 1910"s— 1920"s, new movements in art—futurism, cubism, etc. - were quickly developed.
Such an artistic movement as socialist realism also produced a number of talented and original artists. This trend is represented by works of Alexander Deineka, Arkadiy Plastov, Yuri Pimenov, Dmitriy Nalbandyan, and others.
The main building of the gallery includes the renovated Tretyakov home and several buildings that were attached to it at various times. The main facade of the building was erected in 1902 according to plans by the artist Victor Vasnetsov. In 1994, the Tretyakov Gallery opened after 10 years of restoration.

G: He was a merchant.
P: What did he make his hobby?
G: He made a hobby of collecting pictures.
P: Why did he begin to collect Russian painting?
G: He wanted to help poor Russian painters, to support them and to bring art close to people.
P: As far as I know, Andrei Rublyov is the best known among the old Russian painters. Can we see his work in the Gallery?
G: Certainly. Rublyov’s “The Trinity” painted about 1427 is remarkable, humanistic and reflects the soul of the Russian people.
P: What were the first paintings?
G: Tretyakov began his collection with the work of the “Peredvizhniki” (the artists who belonged to the Mobile Art Exhibition Association), so the gallery has an excellent collection of the best works by Shishkin, Surikov, Vasnetsov and Kramskoy.
P: Levitan’s landscapes are known all over the world. Do you admire his canvases?
"The Trinity" |
G: Sure. How colorful and Russian his landscapes are: “Golden Autumn”, “The Birch Copse”, “After the Rain”. How sad his “Vladimirka” is!
P: Are any of Repin’s works kept in the gallery?
G: Yes, of course. Repin is a great master whose canvases reflect the history of Russia and the life of its people. For example, everyone knows his picture “Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan”.
- Next, students playing the role of Englishmen enter into the conversation.
Conversation about the work of V. Surikov
P: As for me, my favorite Russian painter is Surikov. He is one of the leading representatives of historical paintings. I have read many books about him and learned that he belongs to the historical trend and depicts historic events
G: Do you know anything about his life?
P: If I am not mistaken, he was born in Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia. He admired the works of Michelangelo and Titan. The subject of his own pictures was Russia’s past.
G: What pictures belong to his brush?
P: As far as I remember, they are “Boyarinya Morozova”, “Menshikov in Berezovka”, “The Morning of the Strelets Execution”.
G: Look at Surikov’s pictures. They are full of movement and very expensive. They are filled with the mood and tension of those items. The colors are bright and vivid.

(Two students have cards with key words and reproduce the dialogue prepared as homework)
P1: I say, let’s talk about the picture “Boyarinya Morozova”.
P2: I am afraid I don’t remember what historic event the picture illustrates.
P1: Oh, don't you? I can tell you. The subject of the painting is based on the conflict between the Dissenters and the official church. Morozova is a Dissenter. She has been arrested and is being taken to prison. Look at her face. It’s pale, but proud, isn’t it?
“Boyarinya Morozova” |
P2: It certainly is. Even fanatical, wouldn’t you say?
P1: Exactly so. She is wonderful in her readiness to die for faith.
P2: What do you feel looking at the picture, I wonder?
P1: I feel sad, I feel sorry for her. And you?

The picture belongs to the brush of Levitan. The artist depicted a wide alley on the autumn day in Sokolniki. It must be early October. We can see autumn maples. The air is damp. It is going to rain. In the foreground there is a woman in a black dress. Looking down, she is walking alone the alley. Her face is thoughtful and sad.
“The autumn day in Sokolniki” |
The landscape is executed with great skill. Looking at the picture we could feel Levitan’s pallet. It is difficult to take one’s eyes away from the picture. It catches our imagination. The composition of the picture, its colors, the figure of the woman serve to create an impressive, sad but beautiful painting.

Topic The Tretyakov Gallery
Moscow is replete with art galleries and museums. Yet there is one gallery that remains a symbol of Russian art. It is the world-famous Tretyakov Gallery.
The founder of the gallery was the entrepreneur Pavel Tretyakov (1832-1898), who was from the merchant class. Beginning in 1856, Tretyakov had a hobby of collecting works by the Russian artists of his time. He was a famous patron of the arts who helped to support the "peredvizhniki" (a movement consisting of realistic painters in the second half of the 19th century). Toward this goal, he intended to purchase a collection from a St. Petersburg collector, Fyodor Pryanishnikov, and, having added his own collection, created a museum. The government bought Pryanishnikov's gallery in 1867, but Tretyakov gradually acquired an excellent collection, exceeding all other collections in Russia in its volume and quality.
In 1892, Pavel Tretyakov donated his entire collection to Moscow. His brother Sergey Tretyakov (1834-1892) was also a collector, but only of Western European paintings.
The brothers" collections were at ,the core of the Municipal Art Gallery, which opened on August 15,1893. At first, it contained 1,287 paintings and 518 pieces of graphic art by Russian artists, as well as 75 paintings by Western European artists.
Later, the Western European paintings in the Tretyakov Gallery were transferred to the Hermitage and the A. S. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, and the Tretyakov Gallery began to specialize exclusively in Russian art.
After 1918, the Tretyakov collection grew many times with the inclusion of the collection of Ilya Ostroukhov (1858- 1929), an artist, paintings of the Russian school from the Moscow Rumyantsev Museum, and many private collections. Presently, the gallery is being improved by carefully planned purchases. Already more than 55 thousand works are kept there. There is the rich collection of ancient Russian icon painting of the 12th-17th centuries including Andrei Rublyov"s famous "Trinity", as well as significant works of painting and sculpture of the 18th - 19th centuries - paintings by Dmitriy Levitskiy, Fyodor Rokotov, Karl Bryullov, Orest Kiprenskiy, Alexander Ivanov (including his wellknown canvas "The Appearance of Christ Before the People"), Ivan Kramskoy, and sculptures by Fedot Shubin.
The gallery has an excellent selection of the best works by the "peredvizhniki": Ilya Repin (including "Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan"), Victor Vasnetsov, Ivan Shishkin, Vasiliy Surikov ("The Morning of the Strelets Execution"), Vasiliy Vereshchagin and others.
The blossoming of many areas of Russian art at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries is also well represented.
Suffice it to name such artists of the period as Mikhail Vrubel, Isaak Levitan, Nicholas Rerikh, Alexander Benua, Mikhail Nesterov, Konstantin Korovin, Mstislav Dobuzhinskiy, Konstantin Somov, Valentin Serov, Boris Kustodiev and Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin. After the relatively short period of the 1910"s- 1920"s, new movements in art - futurism, cubism, etc. - were quickly developed.
Such an artistic movement as socialist realism also produced a number of talented and original artists. This trend is represented by works of Alexander Deineka, Arkadiy Plastov, Yuri Pimenov, Dmitriy Nalbandyan, and others.
The main building of the gallery includes the renovated Tretyakov home and several buildings that were attached to it at various times. The main facade of the building was erected in 1902 according to plans by the artist Victor Vasnetsov. In 1994, the Tretyakov Gallery opened after 10 years of restoration. This was not just a facelift to the building; the interior and technical equipment were brought up to the highest standards of quality, which is as it should be, since it contains so many treasures of Russian art.
