🖼 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.
