ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ART
The central exhibit of the museum exposition and one of the best ancient Egyptian monuments in Russian museum collections is the sarcophagus of the royal scribe Nesipacherentakhat (XI – X centuries BC, XXI dynasty). An important place in the collection is occupied by a complex of objects from Deir el-Medina, the village of builders of royal tombs in Thebes. Created during the reign of the pharaohs of the XIX and XX dynasties: the stele of Ramos, the bust of ancestors, funeral statuettes-ushebti (“defendants”), amulets and miniature statuettes of deities are a vivid example of the art of ancient masters.
ANTIQUE ART (TEMPORARILY CLOSED)
The Department of Ancient Antiquities includes more than 500 monuments representing the culture and art of Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, and the colonies of the Northern Black Sea region. The earliest of them date back to the first half of the VIII century BC, the latest ones were created already in the II century AD. Of particular value is the museum’s collection of antique vases, which includes excellent examples of the main styles of antique vase painting.
A rare example of authentic Greek sculpture is a marble female torso (V century BC), made in the tradition of high classics. The art of Ancient Rome is represented by a small collection of fine plastics and marble sculptures.
RUSSIAN ART OF THE XVI – XX CENTURIES
The museum’s collection of Russian art covers the period from the late Middle Ages to the beginning of the XXI century and reflects its main stages and styles.
The exhibition is opened by the icon “Archangel Gabriel”. Images of two higher angels, Michael and Gabriel, are traditionally included in the deesis rank. Gabriel is the messenger of God’s will, the evangelist to the Virgin Mary.
The XVIII century is a turning point in the history of Russian art, when it acquires a secular character and masters the European experience. New types and genres of art are emerging, an Academy of Arts is being established, and Russian artists are getting the opportunity to study abroad.
The XVIII century is the century of the portrait. In this exhibition you will see a parsuna depicting Evdokia Lopukhina, and ceremonial portraits of Prince Mikhail Golitsyn and Count Nikolai Sheremetev.
The collection of landscapes of the XIX century opens with the works of Fyodor Matveev and Sylvester Shchedrin — painted during retirement trips, they are examples of classical landscape with its inherent balance of composition and conventionality of color.
Russian art of the second half of the 19th century is represented by genre works by Akim Karneev, Vasily Bovin, spectacular landscapes by Julius Clover and Arseny Meshchersky. A special page in the history of Russian art is undoubtedly connected with the Association of Traveling Art Exhibitions. At the exhibition you will see sculptures by Eugene Lancere and Mark Antokolsky, paintings by Ivan Kramsky, Ilya Repin, Eugene Dukker.
The variety of ideological and stylistic searches of the early 20th century is represented by the works of Russian impressionists: Elena Kiselyova, Viktor Borisov-Musatov and Peter Nilus.
WESTERN EUROPEAN ART OF THE XVI – XIX CENTURIES
The collection of works of foreign art traces the features and main styles of the national schools of Italy, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
The exposition of Italian art of the XVI–XVIII centuries includes a copy of the early Renaissance altar of Gentile da Fabriano “Adoration of the Magi” (1423, Uffizi), made by an unknown artist in the early XIX century. The painting “Madonna with the sleeping Baby” (about 1515) by the Sienese master Andrea del Piccinelli (Brescianino), “Peasant meal” (XVIII century.) by Giacomo Francesco Chipper, “Hermits under a tree” (XVIII century.) by Alessandro Magnasco.
A significant part of the collection of Western European paintings consists of works by artists of the Dutch school. “Breakfast” (1648), Peter Klas, “Self-portrait” (late 1640s) by Samuel van Hoekstraten, “Landscape” by Jacob van Ruisdael (XVII century).
The artistic culture of Germany is represented by the works of Michael Ostendorfer. His Christ board is brilliant in painting and subtlety of drawing – an example of the rarest profile image of Christ. “Portrait of an Old Man” by Franz Lenbach is one of the best works of the Munich painter, a master of psychological portrait, who influenced many European artists of the first half of the twentieth century.
The French art section introduces the works of artists of the XVII–XIX centuries: one of the paired “Battles” of the master of this genre Jacques Courtois (Bourguignon), a landscape with ancient ruins by Hubert Robert, “Protection of the Banner” by Aristide Croisy, famous for creating monuments dedicated to the Franco-Prussian war.

ALL YEAR ROUND – GUIDED TOURS OF THE PERMANENT EXHIBITION OF THE MUSEUM:
“The Art of Ancient Egypt”
Let’s get acquainted with the history of the acquisition of the Egyptian collection of the museum. We will learn about the life of the young intellectual and collector of antiquities Otto Friedrich von Richter, and also carefully consider the most valuable exhibits of the first hall – the sarcophagus of Nesipacherentahat, the cube-shaped statue of Nebuchadnezzar, the stele of Ramos and other objects.
“The History of the Russian portrait”
Let’s get acquainted with the characteristic features of portrait painting, see the evolution of this genre in Russia – from examples of 17th-century iconography and parsimonial writing to avant-garde and socialist realism, from works done in tempera to the use of pasty techniques and collage techniques. We will discuss excellent examples of the work of Rokotov, Tropinin, Kramskoy, Ge, Kiselyova, Buchkuri and other outstanding masters of the XVIII-XXI centuries.
“Russian Landscape”
The Russian landscape has passed a long way of formation and development. 300 years of evolution, which began with timid imitations of European schools, led to the paintings of Shishkin and Kuindzhi, Savrasov and Levitan, Aivazovsky and Lagorio, grandiose in skill and realism, which in turn paved the way for bold experiments by artists of the early 20th century. A thematic tour dedicated to the Russian landscape will reveal to the guests of the museum the secrets and mysteries of this difficult but fruitful path.
“Historical painting and everyday genre”
Perhaps there are no examples in Russian culture that would reveal it better and deeper than works created within the framework of the everyday genre. Artists – often from a peasant background – like no one else keenly and subtly felt and learned to convey the psychologism, atmosphere and energy inherent in Russia. And the painters with not so big names – Karneev, Trankovsky, Sverchkov, and the masters who achieved great success – Bryullov, Repin, Polenov – each in their own way, but equally accurately managed to show the experiences of their era. On a thematic tour dedicated to historical painting, everyone will be able to feel like a part of the history of our country.
Western European painting of the XVI-XIX centuries.
We will learn about the most important schools in the art of Western Europe – Italian, Dutch, Flemish, French and German. We will see and analyze the works of outstanding artists of the XVI-XVII centuries – Michael Ostendorfer, Peter Klas, Jacob van Ruisdael and other masters.
