MOSCOW, October 14. Itar-Tass Olga Svistunova /. One of the largest and most anticipated projects of the season is today the State Tretyakov Gallery /THG. Here, the grandiose exhibition devoted to 150 anniversary of the birth of the great Russian artist Isaak Levitan /1860-1900 /.

The date itself has fallen by 30 August, but then not all masterpieces were willing to make in the best show viewers. On many paintings conservators painstakingly worked, returning them to pristine gloss. Update required, for example, familiar yet at the illustrations in textbooks - "Golden Autumn", "Evening Bells," "Above the Eternal Peace", without which the jubilee exhibition would be simply impossible.

"The picture Levitan over 100 years. They are well preserved, but the layers of paint here and there, stratified, and in some places could see the canvas" - explained the reason for the restoration curator of painting Levitan Love Zakharenkova. "Levitan could paint a picture, put it up against the wall and forget about it. Then he again returned to the track and rewrote it. Once students have seen the artist as he stripped the paint sandpaper" - told the employee THG.

She recalled that the last monographic exhibition of the painter was at the Tretyakov Gallery 50 years ago. And now, after half a century, viewers will enjoy the unique exhibition including some 300 paintings, sketches, pastels, watercolors and drawings Levitan from 17 museums in Russia and abroad.

But, of course, most are works from the Tretyakov Gallery. The basis of the richest collections levitanovskoy laid himself Tretyakov, when in 1880 it was bought by a nineteen-year painter's landscape, "Autumn Day. Sokolniki. Since then, the collector closely followed the works of talented craftsmen and a rare year that did not take any of the newly created them. Total Tretyakov was purchased more than 20 paintings by the artist, was one of his best creations.

However, everything brilliant legacy of the painter gives a real pleasure, and leaves no one indifferent. Thus, consistently affirming the correctness of words by Alexander Benois, made sometime over the famous levitanovskoy "Silent monastery:" You never know it was written before the monasteries in the pink morning or evening light? Little did clear creeks, groves of birch? However, it was clear that here Levitan said a new word, and that henceforth he shall be among the first of all. "

Jubilee exhibition of outstanding landscape will continue in the Tretyakov Gallery until March 20. Information support: ITAR-TASS.

I dreamed as much as before

You dare to dream of me -

In his orange scarf,

In the stillness of the garden.


How golden grove,

Ever, my love,

Dream Levitan

Sadness of life ...
