[раскатов]

In Russian, especially characteristic of man always shows particle Asian character. That's another example. Russian keeper chromolithography Semen Petrovich Torocheshnikov appeared in the last year to the city Kuindzhi and asked Kuindzhi give him the right to publish "birch grove" and "Night on the Dnieper. Kuindzhi not given, and angry g.Torocheshnikov told him that if he does, and without the consent of the fake paintings under his "birch grove" and "Night" and will publish them. And he did: in the autumn, the Torocheshnikov opened on Nevsky shop under the firm hands-free "store pictures Russian school, where in the windows and brought before the public" Night "and" Birch Grove ". G. Torochenko put them exactly as were exhibited paintings Kuindzhi: he put them around a black kalenkorom and illuminated sideways by strong lights. "Night" not only on the Dnieper, and on the Neva wrote a professor Academy g.Lagorio as "the birch grove, lighted by the sun, another professor at the Academy - MK Klodt. MK Klodt once championed proimv "birch grove" Kuindzhi, and then he repeated it to deceive the eye; ... g.Torocheshnikov achieved his, and he avenged Kuindzhi and how to hear his goods - production g.Klodta goes, thank God, best-selling. Of the many publications g.Torocheshnikova, we know one thing, if not good, the decent execution - it is winter, the clover. Well, however, transferred to chromolithography and G. Orlovsky, but for other reasons - the picture g.Orlovskogo also chromolithograph.
