50 shedevrov Smolenskoi khudozhestvennoi galerei (50 masterpieces from the Smolensk Art Gallery); 50
Moscow: Smolenskii gosudarstvennyi muzei-zapovednik / Severnyi palomnik, 2020. Sewn pb. Like most other museums outside Moscow and St. Petersburg, the Smolensk Art Gallery derived many of its works from private collections nationalized after the 1917 revolution. Aivazovskii's paintings, French art, and Russian icons, for example, come from the collection of the great patron of the arts Maria Tenishheva, whose estate was near Smolensk. Other works were redistributed from major museum reserves during the Soviet period. Published here in the first section are paintings by Russian artists from the eighteenth century to the twentieth—Fedor Rokotov, Tropinin Goncharova) and a selection from the museum's Western European art of the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries. 118 p., approx. 100 color illus., Rus.
