The exhibition features paintings by outstanding Russian artists from the late 19th to the first half of the 20th century from a private collection. "Museum significance" is a term that indicates the high value of a work of art. This formulation applies to all the paintings presented at the exhibition. Visitors will see works by Isaac Levitan, Abram Arkhipov, Illarion Prjanishnikov, Nikolai Bogdanov-Belsky, Sergey Vinogradov, and other Russian painters who worked in a realistic style. The exhibition includes works in various genres: portraits, landscapes, and everyday scenes. The Valery Pustarnakov Foundation of Realistic Art presents paintings from the 1880s to the 1940s for the first time. Many of these works have never been exhibited before. The exhibition allows one to trace the diversity of individual artistic approaches, the uniqueness of artistic language, and the common themes of artists from different decades. Among the key exhibits are Levitan's landscape "The Last Winter Days" and the first portrait of ballerina Anna Pavlova, created by Pavel Shmarov. The exhibition demonstrates how diverse Russian realistic painting is and how its best traditions have been passed down from generation to generation, from teachers to students.
