St. Petersburg: Herm, 2016. Sewn cl. When the Soviet government began to see the country's artistic heritage as a source of foreign currency, the Stroganovs' collection was subject to the same policies as other such private collections: invaluable works were sold at auction by the Soviet state and taken out of the country for questionable and short-lived financial advantages. The Stroganov Palace on Nevskii Prospekt together with its collections became part of the Hermitage, which unfortunately did not prevent the dispersing of parts of the collection. With two indexes and a table tracing the provenance of works from the Stroganovs' collection. 303 p., 25 cm, approx. 100 b/w illus., Rus. Series: Pages in the History of the Hermitage (Stranitsy istorii Ermitazha). Item #1602
ISBN: 9785935726379

The Stroganovs, northern Russian merchants, helped to settle Siberia and organized mineral industries in the Urals. The fabulous wealth they accumulated was put to good use: as patrons of the arts they formed icon-painting workshops that branched out into stylistic schools and embroidery centers that produced exquisite liturgical cloths and vestments. As collectors and patrons, they built a collection on the level of world museums and munificently donated masterpieces to such museums as the Hermitage.
