🏢 About the local organisation
Project partner -National Research Museum of the Academy of Fine Arts in St-Petersburg http://artsacademymuseum.org/
The idea of creating the Academy of Arts was expressed by Peter the Great at the end of the 17th century, when Petersburg was still not there. Currently, there is a Repin University and a Museum at the Academy of Fine Arts. Future painters, sculptors, architects study at the modern University. The Museum is replenished with collections of paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures by the best domestic and European masters. In addition, the Museum has several branches in St. Petersburg and in the suburbs: the Museum- apartment of Joseph Brodsky and Kuindjy, the Museum- House of Tchistayakov in Pushkin, the Country Estate of Illya Repin in Repino.
This 2019 year is 175th anniversary of world Russian artist Illiya Repin, that so important thing for world culture https://www.ntv.ru/video/958480/
If in Europe Russian art is identified primarily with the name of Malevich, in Russia- with the name of Repin. He was called the Sun of Russian Painting .
So that’s why we invite you to the wonderful city St.Petersburg to get a closer look at the world and pictures of the great Repin.
