M. Perchenko, a collection of

[Konstantin]

At the Pushkin Museum opened the exhibition "Art of Northern Gothic and Renaissance", where a collection of Michael Perchenko.

Hit it by accident and was amazed (that's a word) three circumstances.

1. A huge number of people at the opening. My first thought - "Wow!" What's happening? "
The exhibition was opened by Minister of Culture Alexander Avdeev.
There were about 300-400, almost all the antique beau monde + just famous people like Yakubovich Vitorgan, Repair.

2. A huge number of wooden sculptures. And when you consider that this is a private collection, then where did it all stored?

3. The fact of the exhibition itself. Since this is the first exhibition of a private collection in the main building (and central halls), the Pushkin Museum.

[Konstantin]

A large number of those present, due probably to the fact that many have heard about this collection, but not seen. And then had a chance to look at.
Especially because the words of experts, the Perchenko largest collection of wooden sculpture in Europe.

The exhibition contains only about a third of what Perchenko has to date. But, of course, all the major hits are featured.

These include, for example, such boards (this board, not canvas, as artists XV-XVI centuries, more often written on old-fashioned way, on the tree) as the "Scourging of Christ" anonymous Swabian master or a very amusing "Portrait of Johann Friedrich the Magnanimous, Elector Saxon ", performed by Lucas Cranach the Younger. Must also mention the film "Wedding procession against the backdrop of the rural landscape, which is a replica of the same name works by Pieter Brueghel peasant.

For fans of big names will be called yet, Hugo van der Hus, Bartel Bruijn HW, Gillis Mostaert, Jan Masseysa - with the sole proviso that their authorship is not determined absolutely: the most frequently featured the phrase "circle" or "workshop". If you understand the technology and the Netherlands and German painting of the time the reservation is not so significant. Just remember that many authors did remain nameless and known to us under the symbols like "master of the Virgin among virgins" or "master Lamentation of Christ's Body." And if not - "the Upper unknown artist." From such language nor the phenomenon becomes less significant, nor reputation Meeting Perchenko does not suffer. Here indeed there are valuable, and sometimes even exemplary opus.

"It is very rare in Russia, private collection, in particular stands out in its sculpture," - said the museum's director, Irina Antonova, noting that "we are very pleased to accept such a rich exposition. In turn, the exhibition's curator, head of the department of Art Old Masters Vadim Sadkov added that "the choice of this particular collection is not accidental, since the northern Gothic style in our museums is presented fairly sparsely. "With regard to the section of sculpture, these works are comparable to the collection of the Pushkin Museum and the Hermitage together" - he stressed.
Total exposure in the 33 paintings, 60 sculptures and 9 kiddle furniture. Incredible beauty of gothic sculpture depicting the saints, represented in the exhibition in two forms: the artists mostly prefer to paint their works, but many have used the natural structure of the tree.
Among the masterpieces of painting is worth noting now "Lamentation", which is one of the earliest unpreserved replica of the original brush Netherlands celebrated painter Hugo van der Hus. Genuine gem experts call and a small panoramic "Landscape with a stage recreation of the Holy Family on the Flight into Egypt from the circle of artist Joachim Patinira - founder of landscape painting in the art of the Netherlands.
