Perm: Slavia, 2003. Sewn pb. At certain periods perhaps the richest non-reigning family not only in Russia but in all of Europe, the Stroganovs became famous for founding icon-painting and applied arts workshops that enriched Russian art. As collectors they acquired many masterpieces of Western European art, and significant works in ancient and Latin American art. This Hermitage exhibition catalogue covers all the family’s endeavors, underscoring the sweep and skill of their collecting, which brought to Russia works of art as varied as ancient Greek vases, oriental silver, Mexican sculpture, and paintings by van Dyck, Botticelli, and Poussin. 310 p., 28 cm, approx. 300 color illus., Rus.
