A collection of etchings by the French painter and graphic artist of the 18th century Jean-Jacques de Boissier from the funds of the Voronezh Regional Art Museum. I.N. Kramskoy is one of the best and most complete in museum collections in Russia.

The creative heritage of the remarkable etcher, whose works are kept in museums and private collections in European countries and the United States, turned out to be outside the scientific interests of Russian historians of fine arts. Restoration and research of a large monographic collection carried out at the V. acad. I.E. Grabar, allowed to return to the works of the exhibition view, put forward a hypothesis about the origin of the collection, attribute and catalog graphic sheets, as well as identify analogies, copies and forgeries of the master’s works in the largest graphic collections of the country. Etchings reproduced on the pages of the album-catalog, with the exception of two similar sheets from the Pushkin Museum im. A.S. Pushkin, are published in Russia for the first time.

The publication is intended for art historians, restorers, museum workers, collectors and a wide range of art lovers of classic black and white etching.
