The exhibition "The Romanovs - emblematic figure of the era"
 

In patnerstve with the Russian Embassy in Estonia, we have organized an exhibition "The Romanovs - emblematic figure of the era "
We got out of the five museums in Estonia.
We were fortunate to get to the exhibition of the Tallinn City Museum original portrait ( 1639 ) of the first Russian tsar of the Romanov dynasty !
Art historian May Levin : " .. In connection with the second voyage to Muscovy and Persia in 1635-1639 gg. Embassy of Frederick III, Duke of Schleswig -Holstein- Gottorp , led by Adam Oleariusom in Tallinn was a portrait of the founder of the dynasty of the Romanovs, Tsar Mikhail Romanov ... "
The exhibition opening was almost full ambassadorial corps in Estonia.

Strange - why Estonia surrendered Romanovs ?
Romanovs restored German law lords. I remember they were getting the local population to the end of the 19th century. , The ancestors of the Estonians and the ground - it had no right to possess.
After being overthrown by the Estonians came statehood missing ever , their own church .

Okay, all former slaves waving their flag , and you , why?

Estonians believe they watch this show . Every day at least 70 people are coming

Added after 3 minutes 39 minutes
Provenance of the portrait ( Michael's , 186h93 ) is not quite clear.
Hard to believe that the young king sat for a long time by the German artist from the embassy , headed by Adam Oleariusom . It is believed that he was led to drawing from life in gratitude for the production of maps of the Volga River during a trip to Persia from Muscovy .
I assume that he could sit for fifteen minutes ! Already vTallinne who then commissioned Blackheads on this drawing a portrait . Later Estonian artist Johann Heinrich Wedekind made ​​a copy and it is now in the Tretyakov Gallery.
Or we have a copy of the original portraits in the Tretyakov Gallery ? If interested in the history of writing this portrait.
Maybe someone from the members of the forum know the history of the writing of these portraits ?
I would be very grateful.
