Russian The Wanderers Artists

The creativity of the Wanderers marks the flourishing of Russian painting. The conservative, abstract plots featuring ancient heroes, luxurious ceremonial portraits, and canvases depicting the beauty of Italian landscapes were replaced by paintings that capture ordinary people, the charm of native nature, and scenes from domestic history — "Hunters at Rest" and "Girl with Peaches", "The Crows Have Arrived" and "Rye", "Zaporozhians" and "Bogatyrs".

The book will introduce you to the history of the famous Society, the landscape, portrait, historical, genre, religious, and mythological genres in the art of the Wanderers, the works of Perov, Kramskoi, Myasoedov, Shishkin, Repin, Vasnetsov, Levitan, Serov, and other masters who made the most significant contributions to the development of Wanderer art, as well as with famous paintings (a total of more than 100 works are represented in the publication) that have inscribed bright pages not only in the artistic chronicle of the Society but also in the history of Russian painting as a whole, and continue to constitute the cultural heritage of Russia to this day.

For a wide audience.
