Russian Art Exhibition at the Astrakhan Gallery

About exhibition

The Astrakhan Art Gallery named after Pavel Dogadin invites visitors to its main exhibition of Russian art. The core of the gallery's Russian art collection is the assemblage of Astrakhan collector and museum founder Pavel Dogadin (1876–1919), donated to the city in 1918. The halls display works from the late 17th to the early 20th century, including icons and sacred objects of decorative and applied art, portraits painted by Nikolai Argunov, Vladimir Borovikovsky, Karl Bryullov and Vasily Tropinin, and paintings by the Peredvizhniki (the Wanderers) such as Vasily Perov, Alexei Savrasov, Ivan Shishkin, Isaac Levitan and Vasily Polenov. The turn of the 19th–20th centuries is represented by works by Valentin Serov, Mikhail Vrubel, Mikhail Nesterov, Konstantin Korovin and Nikolai Roerich. In the Russian avant-garde halls are exhibited works by Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Robert Falk, Marc Chagall and Alexander Rodchenko.
