State Tretyakov Gallery The State Tretyakov Gallery. State Tretyakov Gallery - a treasury of Russian painting Tretyakov 20th century

Hello, dear readers!
I present to you a new section on my blog, called “Did you ask? I answer!”
The need for this section has been brewing for a long time. Quite often people contact me with questions about traveling around Russia, visiting museums, vacationing with children, etc. And I always answer everyone with pleasure. The questions are often repeated, which involuntarily suggests that there is information in demand that will be useful to many. Why not answer everyone at once?

Many are interested in the famous Tretyakov Gallery. After all, acquaintance with the sights of Moscow often begins with it.

Therefore, despite the fact that I have already written about the Tretyakov Gallery several times, the first topic in the new section will be “The Tretyakov Gallery for Dummies” or “Simple answers to simple questions about the Tretyakov Gallery.”

It depends on how you look and what goals you pursue. You can quickly get acquainted with the Tretyakov Gallery in 1 day. If you study each room in detail, you will need several days. It’s difficult to say more precisely - everything is individual.
There are people who can contemplate a picture while sitting on a bench for more than one hour. So calculate how much time it will take for all the works, because there are about 7 thousand paintings in the Tretyakov Gallery alone.

In the Tretyakov Gallery you can see Russians works of art: painting XVIII- XX centuries, graphics XVIII - early. XX century, sculpture of the 18th - early 20th centuries, ancient Russian art of the 12th-18th centuries. (icons, sculpture, applied art).
The Tretyakov Gallery houses such masterpieces as “Morning in pine forest"I. Shishkina, "Bogatyrs" by V. Vasnetsov, "Stranger" by I. Kramskoy, "Boyaryna Morozova" by V. Surikov, "Horsewoman" by K. Bryullov, "The Rooks Have Arrived" by A. Savrasov, "The Appearance of Christ to the People" by A. Ivanov , "Demon" by Vrubel,"Morning Streltsy execution"Surikov, Apotheosis of War" by V. Vereshchagin, "Portrait of A.S. Pushkin" by O. Kiprensky and many others. Andrei Rublev's "Trinity" is also located here.

First of all, unique works of art themselves can surprise, if a person, of course, is in principle capable of being surprised. The skill of the old masters is perfect. Personally, it always surprises me magical influence The feeling that the paintings provide is a kind of hypnosis, a feeling of immersion in the distant past.
Many of the portraits are palpably alive, the people’s eyes in them are warm, glowing, as if they are watching what is happening around them, penetrating into the soul...
I am also always pleasantly surprised by how many people come to the Tretyakov Gallery and are sincerely interested in art.
These are my personal observations and surprises. I don't know what will surprise you. Everything is individual. Cx O baby, please share.

You can take photographs in the Tretyakov Gallery, but without flash. It costs 200 rubles. You must pay immediately at the box office when purchasing entrance tickets. You will be given a yellow round sticker, you need to stick it on your chest like a badge. The sticker is visible and the caretakers will not pester you to show your ticket for filming, as happens in other museums.

I have many favorite paintings in the Tretyakov Gallery. Among them are Bryullov’s “Horsewoman,” Unequal marriage"Pukirev, "Matchmaking of a Major" by Fedotov, "Night on the Dnieper" by Kuindzhi, "Princess Tarakanova" by Flavinsky, etc. I really love the portraits of A.P. Struyskaya Rokotov, M.I. Lopukhina Borovikovsky and Princess M.V. Vorontsova Zaryanko.

It is impossible to answer why you like some paintings more and others less. There’s just something that catches you (or doesn’t) in every picture. Some kind of special beauty, depth, drama, history.
As an example, I’ll take two of the three portraits mentioned above - the portrait of Lopukhina and the portrait of Vorontsova.

Looking at the young, serene charmer Lopukhina, I could not help imagining her prosperous, long life in happiness and joy, and looking at the sparkling eyes and feverish blush of the high-society beauty Vorontsova, I pictured her hard fate, life drama, even an incurable disease.

Delving deeper into history, I learned that the opposite is true. An unfortunate fate awaited Mashenka Lopukhina; she died very young from consumption. And Princess Maria Vasilievna Vorontsova long years throughout her life she lived in luxury and wealth, was close to the royal court, successfully married twice, had a son and died at the age of 76.

That's why I love real painting- for the fact that behind each great picture there is a story that you want to know, and a mystery that you want to solve.
The fates of many heroes antique paintings, which are located in the Tretyakov Gallery, are interesting. Perhaps someday I will return to this topic and tell you, for example, about the portrait of Alexandra Petrovna Struyskaya - the most beautiful woman XVIII century...

No, “The Ninth Wave” is in, as well as other most famous paintings of the Russian Museum, which are often searched for in the Tretyakov Gallery: “The Last Day of Pompeii” by Bryullov, “ Moonlight night on the Dnieper" by Kuindzhi, "Barge Haulers on the Volga" by Repin, "The Knight at the Crossroads" by Vasnetsov and "Suvorov's Crossing of the Alps" by Surikov.

On weekends there are a lot of visitors during the day and evening.
If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere and don’t want to stand in line at the box office, come on weekdays or when the gallery opens on the weekend - at 10 o’clock.
Opening hours of the Tretyakov Gallery: Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday - from 10.00 to 18.00, Thursday, Friday - from 10.00 to 21.00. Monday is a day off.

The question about the age of the children remained unanswered and the question about individual excursions was not clarified. I will answer and clarify!
1) I brought my son to the gallery for the first time at the age of 9, and my daughter much earlier - at 2 years old. And I don’t regret it at all.
2) Individual excursions for children they exist in the form of subscriptions for a cycle of 4 excursions (for more details, follow the link above).

A house in Lavrushinsky Lane in Moscow, similar to a tower, is not just Art Gallery- this is one of the business cards capital Cities. The building houses exhibits from the 11th to 19th centuries.

The Moscow Art Museum, which is called the State Tretyakov Gallery, or Tretyakov Gallery, was founded in 1856. It contains one of the largest collections in the world visual arts.

Composition of the Tretyakov Gallery

The museum association, which is called the Tretyakov Gallery, is located in Moscow. The main building of the Tretyakov Gallery is located in Lavrushinsky Lane, in Zamoskvorechye. In addition to the main building, where most of the collection is located, it includes:
- Engineering building, where temporary exhibitions are held;
- a building on Krymsky Val, where the art of the 20th century is presented;
- museum in the Church of St. Nicholas, located in Tolmachi;
- personal museums of artists.

The main building of the Tretyakov Gallery is located in Moscow at the address: Lavrushinsky Lane, building 10.

The collection collected at the Tretyakov Gallery is dedicated exclusively to Russian national art. This is how the gallery was conceived by its founder Pavel Tretyakov, and this is how it has been preserved to this day.

How the Tretyakov Gallery appeared

The Tretyakov Gallery began with the fact that Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov acquired two paintings by Russian artists in 1856 - this was the first step towards creating the famous collection. From that moment on, the collection began to grow steadily, and the Moscow City Gallery of Pavel and Sergei Tretyakov was able to receive its first visitors in 1867.

In 1892, Pavel Tretyakov donated his art gallery to the capital. At that time, it contained many wonderful works, including a collection of icons.

When collecting works, the founder of the gallery, Tretyakov, relied on his own taste. He was quite well aware of the importance of art in both the cultural and socio-political life of society.

The gallery was initially located in one building. As the collection grew, other rooms were gradually added to the mansion, which were used to store and display works. The pile of extensions grew and multiplied until a design was developed for a building with a façade that looked like something out of a fairy tale.

Currently, the Tretyakov Gallery collection contains more than one hundred thousand works of art. The exhibits are located in architectural complex, in Lavrushinsky Lane, and in a building located on Krymsky Val. In 1995, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the State Tretyakov Gallery was classified as one of the most valuable objects Russian culture.

Ah, art, art. Vrubel, Flavitsky, Aivazovsky. And that's just small part artists whose works are presented in one of best museums Russia. Is it possible to photograph such magnificence? Is it possible to take photographs in the Tretyakov Gallery?

Are the camera and the museum incompatible?

When visiting museums and galleries, guests can be quite puzzled. Is filming allowed or not? Sometimes it’s somehow awkward and inconvenient to approach and ask strict caretakers. And, being in the Tretyakov Gallery, everything immediately flies out of your head, and your hand just reaches out to the phone.

You can breathe easy! In the Tretyakov Gallery you can take it off. But you need to be careful. Photography is only allowed permanent exhibitions galleries and New Tretyakov Gallery, as well as in other museum buildings. If there is some kind of temporary exhibition, then photography and filming may be prohibited because the law on the protection of copyright and intellectual property comes into force.

There is an interesting and unique opportunity to conduct professional photography at the Tretyakov Gallery, but for this you need to contact the museum’s press service.

If you are interested in what else you can and cannot do in museums (not only in the Tretyakov Gallery), then we recommend that you familiarize yourself with Federal law“About Museum Funds and Museums”, which will tell you about all the nuances and processes of this area.

Flash is the main enemy!

One of the important reminders. Photography is allowed, but without flash and without the use of any special equipment (even a selfie stick, alas, is prohibited). The fact is that flash light can be too dangerous and harmful to works of art. Ultimately, it can damage them and lead to “premature aging.” The flash also distracts museum staff and visitors, making it difficult for the former to monitor the hall and for the latter to concentrate on the work of art.

1. Many people think that the famous painting by I.K. Aivazovsky's "The Ninth Wave" is kept in the Tretyakov Gallery, but this is a misconception! It is located in the Russian Museum of St. Petersburg.

As if intricate towers from a Russian fairy tale stand in Zamoskvorechye buildings Tretyakov Gallery, the main facade of which was decorated in 1901-1902 according to the design of the artist V. Vasnetsov. The inscription at the entrance, made in ancient script, reads: “Moscow City art Gallery named after Pavel Mikhailovich and Sergei Mikhailovich Tretyakov. Founded by P.M. Tretyakov in 1856 and donated by him to the city of Moscow together with the collection of S. M. Tretyakov hung in the city.”

It is very difficult to believe that such a huge museum of world significance began to exist thanks to the efforts of just one person - P.M. Tretyakov.

Russian genre painting began with the works of the artist P. Fedotov, which pushed Tretyakov to the idea of ​​​​creating a museum. The paintings simply amazed him with their versatility and, at the same time, simplicity. And so in 1856 the first step was taken - he bought the painting “ Temptation" After some time, another one was added to the collection extraordinary picture « Skirmish with Finnish smugglers”, which was written by V. Khudyakov. It is with these two paintings that we can consider that Tretyakov’s collecting began. The so-called exhibitions of the Society of Art Lovers were held in Moscow, from where the collection was gradually replenished.

Tretyakov began to make acquaintances with artists, and could already buy a painting that was not even ready yet, which was just beginning in the artist’s studio. Tretyakov believed that Russian art has a future, and we need to pay attention to this issue a large number of time. In Tretyakov’s letter there are the following lines: “Many positively do not want to believe in the good future of Russian art, they assure that if sometimes our artist writes a good thing, it is somehow by accident, and that he will then increase the number of mediocrities... I have a different opinion, otherwise... I wouldn’t have collected a collection of Russian paintings...”

Fate was favorable to Tretyakov. He married the niece of S. Mamontov, who was a patron of the arts. Tretyakov often visited him in Abramtsevo. It was here, at that time, that many outstanding Russian painters, members of the famous Abramtsevo art circle, lived and worked.

In 1871 Tretyakov met Repin. This was facilitated by the world's first traveling exhibition. Tretyakov wanted to convey all the boundless beauty of paintings to the masses, and was very passionate about this idea.

Continuous purchases of paintings led Tretyakov to the point that his mansion could no longer accommodate all the works in the collection. And then he decided to make a large extension with a facade on Lavrushinsky Lane (now the main building of the museum). In 1874 the work was completed. Having hung paintings in the halls, Tretyakov announced the opening of the gallery to visitors. This was his long-time dream, and it came true!

But Tretyakov did not stop there. In 1892, he donated a collection of his paintings and his brother’s collection, which was hung to him (it included paintings by European masters, which were later included in the exhibition State Museum Fine Arts named after A. S. Pushkin) as a gift to Moscow. More than 3 thousand works of painting, graphics and sculpture collected by him became the basis of a famous art gallery. Tretyakov Gallery - largest museum national fine arts.

The gallery was supplemented by its employees. Now there you can find masterpieces of such famous painters as Andrei Rublev, Dionysius, Theophanes the Greek and many others. More than 400 works written in the 18th century were added to the gallery from private collections. Moreover, the department is still being replenished Soviet art. On this moment more 57 thousand works of national fine art are included in the priceless collection of the Tretyakov Gallery.

Over one and a half million visitors pass through its halls every year. Almost 100 traveling exhibitions Every year they depart from Lavrushinsky Lane to cities across the country. This is how Lenin’s decree is fulfilled, which entrusted the Tretyakov Gallery with “nationwide educational functions” - to widely introduce the masses to art.

Muscovites are rightfully proud of their famous museum. M. Gorky wrote: “The Tretyakov Gallery is as good and significant as Art Theater, St. Basil the Blessed and all the best in Moscow.”

Ask any resident of Russia if they know the most famous art museum in Moscow and most respondents will answer that it is the Tretyakov Gallery. Even those who are not interested in art have heard about the museum. And those who are interested equate it to a real temple!

His collections are truly priceless, and not only from a material point of view - the exhibition of the Tretyakov Gallery covers the period from the 11th to the 20th centuries, starting from Ancient Rus' and ending with the Soviet period, thanks to which you can become imbued with Russian history and come closer to understanding national identity.

The Tretyakov Gallery is more than 160 years old! A brief excursion into history

It is known that a representative of the merchant class, Pavel Tretyakov, began collecting his collection in 1856 (he was then only 24 years old). He focused his attention on the works of Russian masters. Initially, the paintings were kept in specially designated rooms of the merchant mansion, but their number grew so quickly that to accommodate new exhibits it was necessary to build a separate one nearby. two-storey house. In connection with the further expansion of the collection, new buildings and premises appeared on the territory of the estate, later united into a single complex.

Pavel Tretyakov's brother Sergei also collected art objects, but he gave preference to Western European masters, which avoided competition between the brothers. Premature death Sergei (in 1892), who, in addition to his own collection, bequeathed a significant part of his fortune to the city of Moscow, including half of the house in Lavrushinsky Lane, became the reason for Pavel Tretyakov to combine both collections into one and transfer them to the city. At that time, the gallery’s exhibition consisted of more than 1,000 paintings famous artists(together with sculptures, jewelry, sketches, graphic drawings– about 2,000 items).

Now the treasury of Russian art has more than 180,000 exhibits!

In addition to the Tretyakov brothers, big role Igor Emmanuilovich Grabar, who was appointed trustee of the museum in 1913, played a role in the formation of the museum. It is he who is credited with systematizing the legacy left behind and transforming what was essentially a private collection into a world-class museum. So, Igor Grabar:

• carried out extensive research work on the study of paintings;
• introduced a new principle of their placement (chronological);
• compiled the first scientific catalogue;
• was the initiator of the creation of the restoration workshop and was its leader.

It is worth mentioning how much he did to preserve masterpieces in difficult years revolution and civil war.

Igor Grabar was not only a good organizer, but also talented artist. One of his paintings found a place in the Tretyakov Gallery itself - in room No. 38 you can see the famous “ February blue", written in 1904.
