The project showcases ancient Russian painting through pigments derived from natural minerals. Icons and samples come together to tell a story of how craftsmanship, nature, and the symbolism of color intertwined in a single artistic language. The exhibition is dedicated to Russian icon painting from the late 17th to the 19th century and offers a fresh perspective on it - through the history of paint creation. The focus is on natural minerals from which masters obtained pigments for painting. The exhibition space features icons from the museum collection and minerals provided by the Vernadsky State Geological Museum. This connection allows for a view of ancient Russian art as both a cultural phenomenon and the result of delicate technological work. If you don't know where to stroll in Moscow, visit KUDAGO.
