Russian History of the 18th Century in Art

The book offers a unique perspective on the history of Russia in the 18th century through the lens of paintings from the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery. You hold not just a history of art, but an artistic chronicle of the era, where portraits of outstanding masters — Levitsky, Rokotov, Borovikovsky — become living witnesses of the time, bringing to life the faces of Peter I and Catherine II, revealing the intrigues of palace coups and the fates of the «golden age» of the nobility, while colorful illustrations allow you to vividly experience the style and aroma of a bygone era.
