🖼 You don't live in Russia and want to see original paintings by Russian artists? You have such an opportunity! We will tell you where you can see original Russian paintings.
🟡"Ice of the Kara Sea" by Alexander Borisov in the Orsay Museum, France
At one time, Alexander Borisov was the only one who painted polar and arctic landscapes in the most remote corners of the Russian Empire. Abroad, his works were exhibited in Vienna, Prague, Munich, London and Washington. The painting "Ice of the Kara Sea" ended up in the Paris museum because the French government bought it to decorate the Luxembourg Palace. The exhibit in dark tones is strikingly different from the other bright paintings presented in the museum.
📍"Self-portrait at Work" by Ilya Repin in the National Gallery, Czech Republic
The history of this painting is little known to the public. It is known that in 1915, the Tretyakov Gallery refused to accept the artist's work, believing that "Ilya Efimovich is no longer the same." Soon the painting ended up in Prague.
🔵"Padma Sambhava" in the Roerich Museum, USA
There is an entire museum dedicated to Nicholas Roerich in New York. Its collection contains about 150 works. For example, "Padma Sambhava", which depicts an Indian guru talking with a mountain spirit.
🌟 "The Jaipur Procession" by Vasily Vereschagin in the Victoria Memorial Museum, Kolkata, India
Painted in 1876, is believed to be the world’s second largest oil painting. The painting features an important moment in Prince Albert-Edward’s tour of the Indian subcontinent.

On October 26, 1842, the Russian artist Vasily Vereshchagin was born.
Vereshchagin became famous as a battle painter during his lifetime. However, he also dedicated many of his works to the countries of the East - he depicted oriental patterns, landscapes, types of architecture and local residents. In his works, the artist was strict and truthful, showing the viewer the contrasts of luxury and poverty of the eastern countries.
In 1874–1876 and 1882–1883, Vasily Vereshchagin made two trips to India to study the life, nature, and everyday life of the country.
The result of his observations was more than 150 sketches depicting the grandeur of white-stone Indian architecture, the blue of the southern sky, and bright national clothing. The largest painting by Vereshchagin 'The Jaipur Procession' is housed at the Victoria Memorial Museum, Kolkata.
On Vasily Vereshchagin's birthday, we share his "Indian Series".

26 октября 1842 года родился художник Василий Верещагин.
Верещагин еще при жизни стал известен как художник-баталист. Однако многие свои произведения Василий Васильевич также посвятил странам Востока – он изображал ориентальные узоры, пейзажи, виды архитектуры и местных жителей. В своих работах художник был строг и правдив, показывая зрителю контрасты роскоши и нищеты восточных стран.
В 1874–1876 и 1882–1883 годах Василий Васильевич Верещагин совершил две поездки в Индию для изучения жизни, природы и быта страны.
Результатом наблюдений стало более ста пятидесяти этюдов, изображающих величие белокаменной индийской архитектуры, синеву южного неба, яркие национальные одежды Самая крупная картина Верещагина «Шествие слонов» хранится в Мемориале Виктории в Калькутте.
В день рождения Василия Верещагина делимся его «Индийской серией».
