Pavel Tretyakov and his famous gallery. Collection of paintings

Today, the name of the Tretyakov Gallery is known all over the world — after all, it is the wealthiest collection of Russian painting. This book will introduce how this famous gallery came to be and who gathered all these... priceless artistic treasures. The name of Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov — entrepreneur, patron, collector — is rightly one of the symbols of Russian culture.
The result of more than forty years of collecting by a Moscow merchant and philanthropist was the creation of the first publicly accessible art museum in Russia — the now world-famous Tretyakov Gallery.
The book tells about the life of Pavel Tretyakov and his efforts to create an extensive collection of Russian painting, about the masterpieces of his collection, which today make up the backbone and pride of the Tretyakov Gallery, and about the relationships between the collector and the artists.
For a wide audience.
