As if intricate towers from a Russian fairy tale stand in Zamoskvorechie buildings Tretyakov Gallery, the main facade of which was decorated in 1901-1902 according to the project of the artist V. Vasnetsov. The inscription at the entrance, made in ancient script, reads: “Moscow City Art Gallery named after Pavel Mikhailovich and Sergei Mikhailovich Tretyakov. Founded by P.M. Tretyakov in 1856 and donated by him to the city of Moscow, together with the collection of S. M. Tretyakov, hung to the city.
It is very difficult to believe that such a huge museum of world significance began to exist thanks to the efforts of just one person - P.M. Tretyakov.
Russian genre painting began with the works of the artist P. Fedotov, which prompted Tretyakov to think about creating a museum. The pictures simply struck him with their versatility, and, at the same time, simplicity. And in 1856, the first step was taken - he bought the painting “ Temptation". After some time, another extraordinary painting was added to the collection. Skirmish with Finnish smugglers"Written by V. Khudyakov. It is from these two paintings that we can assume that the collection of Tretyakov began. In Moscow, the so-called exhibitions of the Society of Art Lovers were held, from where the collection was gradually replenished.
Tretyakov began to make acquaintances with artists, and could already buy a painting that was not even ready yet, which was just beginning in the artist's studio. Tretyakov believed that Russian art had a future, and a lot of time should be devoted to this issue. Tretyakov’s letter contains the following lines: “Many positively do not want to believe in the good future of Russian art, they assure that if sometimes some artist of ours writes a good thing, then somehow by accident, and that he will then increase the number of mediocrities ... I a different opinion, otherwise ... I would not have collected a collection of Russian paintings ... ".
Fate was favorable to Tretyakov. He married the niece of S. Mamontov, who was a patron of the arts. Tretyakov often visited him in Abramtsevo. It was here, at that time, that many outstanding Russian painters lived and worked - members of the famous Abramtsevo art circle.
In 1871, Tretyakov met Repin. This was facilitated by the world's first traveling exhibition. Tretyakov wanted to convey all the boundless beauty of the paintings to the masses, and was very passionate about this idea.
Continuous purchases of paintings led Tretyakov to the fact that his mansion could no longer accommodate all the works of the collection. And then he decided to make a large extension with a facade on Lavrushinsky Lane (now the main building of the museum). In 1874 the work was completed. Having hung the paintings in the halls, Tretyakov announced the opening of the gallery for visitors. It was his old dream, and it came true!
But Tretyakov did not stop there. In 1892, he donated a collection of his paintings and the collection of his brother hung to him (it included paintings by European masters, which later joined the exposition of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts) as a gift to Moscow. More than 3 thousand works of painting, graphics and sculpture, collected by him, became the basis of the famous art gallery. Tretyakov Gallery - the largest museum of national fine arts.
The gallery was supplemented by its employees. Now you can find masterpieces of such famous painters as Andrei Rublev, Dionysius, Theophanes the Greek and many others there. More than 400 works written in the 18th century have been added to the gallery from private collections. Moreover, the department of Soviet art is still being replenished. At the moment more 57 thousand works of national fine art are included in the priceless collection of the Tretyakov Gallery.
More than one and a half million visitors pass through its halls every year. Almost 100 traveling exhibitions every year depart from Lavrushinsky Lane to the cities of the country. This is how Lenin's decree is being carried out, which entrusted the Tretyakov Gallery with "nationwide educational functions" - to widely introduce the masses to art.
Muscovites are rightly proud of their famous museum. M. Gorky wrote: "The Tretyakov Gallery is as good and significant as the Art Theater, St. Basil's and all the best in Moscow."
In the list of famous art museums in the world State Tretyakov Gallery occupies one of the highest places. Today, its collection includes more than 180 thousand exhibits, including paintings, sculpture and jewelry. The exhibited masterpieces were created during the historical period dating back to the 11th-20th centuries. The building, which houses the main collection, was built in 1906, and today is included in the register of cultural heritage of the Russian Federation.
More than one and a half million people visit the museum every year.
History of the gallery
May 22, 1856 philanthropist and successful industrialist Pavel Tretyakov bought a painting by Vasily Khudyakov "Clash with Finnish smugglers". This day is considered the founding date of the museum, which Tretyakov, together with his brother, planned to create a long time ago. He dreamed of presenting the work of Russian artists to people. Soon the collection was replenished with the canvases “The Procession at Easter” by V. Perov, “Peter I interrogates Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich in Peterhof” by N. Ge and many others. The collection grew and multiplied, and Tretyakov decided to show the paintings to the audience. In 1867 he opened the first gallery in his own estate in Lavrushinsky Lane. At that time, the collection included 1276 paintings, almost five hundred drawings, a small collection of sculptures and several dozen works by foreign artists.
Tretyakov supported many little-known masters and, thanks to his patronage, Vasnetsov and Makovsky became famous. By purchasing paintings objectionable to the authorities, the founder of the gallery inspired painters to freedom of thought and courage in relation to censors.
The Tretyakov Gallery became a national museum at the end of the 19th century, and from that moment on, anyone could visit it and absolutely free of charge. In 1892, after the death of his brother, Pavel Tretyakov donated the collection to the city. This is how an art gallery appears in Moscow, which eventually becomes one of the largest collections of works of art on the planet.
When the Tretyakovs just started collecting paintings, their collection was housed in the rooms of the mansion where the brothers lived. But in 1860 they decided to build a separate building to store the collection, which by that time had grown into a solid art collection. The two-story extension to the Tretyakov mansion received a separate entrance for visitors, and the paintings - two spacious halls.
New paintings continued to arrive, and the gallery expanded and completed. After the death of the owners, the mansion was reconstructed, and at the beginning of the 20th century it was combined with the halls of the gallery. The facade in the form of an old tower was designed by the artist Vasnetsov.
Golden Fund of the Tretyakov Gallery
You will see the oldest exhibits of the museum in the collection of iconography of the XII-XVII centuries. For example, image of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, brought at the beginning of the XII century from Constantinople. After the persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church during the formation of Soviet power, the icon ended up in a museum.
Rublevskaya "Trinity"- another world-famous masterpiece of Russian icon painting. The author created it in memory of Sergei Radonezhsky in the first third of the 15th century.
Master Dionysius- no less famous icon painter, and his work "Metropolitan Alexei", written at the end of the 15th century, is also on the list of the most valuable exhibits of the Tretyakov collection.
The now unknown masters of the Mikhailovsky Golden-Domed Monastery at the beginning of the 12th century made mosaic depicting St. Demetrius of Thessalonica. In their work, they used matte colored stones and gold smalt. The work is exhibited in the department of Russian icon painting.
Among the many paintings of the State Tretyakov Gallery, the most famous paintings usually receive special attention from visitors.
XVIII century is represented by works Dmitry Levitsky, Vladimir Borovikovsky and Fedor Rokotov.

The first was written by Ivan Nikitin, and the queen was painted by Georg Groot.
The 19th century that replaced the world gave the world new artists represented in the museum especially widely:
Outstanding Masterpiece I. Kramskoy "Stranger" depicts a young woman riding in an open carriage along Nevsky Prospekt. Neither in the artist's letters nor in his diaries is there even a hint of the model's personality, and her name remains a mystery at all times.
- "Princess Tarakanova" by Konstantin Flavitsky depicts the death of an adventurer who posed as the daughter of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna and sister of Pugachev. After being exposed, the woman was thrown into the casemates of the Peter and Paul Fortress, where, as legend has it, she died from a flood. The painting was painted by Flavitsky in 1864. Critic Stasov called it "the most brilliant creation of Russian painting."
Another amazingly beautiful female portrait exhibited in the Tretyakov Gallery - "Peach Girl". The painting depicts the daughter of Savva Mamontov, but attracts viewers to the canvas V. Serov completely different. The work is permeated with amazing light and filled with freshness that does not disappear over time.
The textbook landscape is called the work A. Savrasova "The Rooks Have Arrived". Critics consider the painting an important stage in the development of landscape painting in Russia. Despite the unpretentiousness of the plot, the picture seems especially close to the heart of any Russian person.
- "Moonlit night on Capri" depicts the seascape of the Gulf of Naples. Its author is a famous Russian marine painter I. Aivazovsky, painter of the Main Naval Staff and author of amazing works dedicated to the sea.
There is an opinion that "Hunters in Retreat" were written V. Perov based on the stories of I. Turgenev. The plot composition, presented by the author to the viewer, depicts three landowners who stopped to rest after a successful hunt. Perov managed to depict the characters and their environment so vividly that the viewer becomes an unwitting participant in the hunters' conversation.
- "Unequal marriage" by V. Pukirev, as his contemporaries claimed, was written by the artist at the time of his own torment: Pukirev's beloved girl was married by calculation.

The tyrant mad with grief and the failed heir accepting his fate with meekness are written out so skillfully that the picture still evokes the brightest feelings and emotions in the audience.
- "The Appearance of Christ to the People" A. Ivanov wrote for about 20 years. While working, he created several hundred sketches and called the plot of his canvas "worldwide". Ivanov believed that he portrayed a moment in time that played a decisive role in the fate of all mankind. The huge canvas is exhibited in a separate room built for it in the 30s of the last century.
- "Bogatyrs" Vasnetsov depict three heroes of Russian epics on mighty horses in military armor. They inspect the surroundings and with all their appearance demonstrate their readiness to defend the Russian land from enemies. According to the author, he sought "to mark the continuity of the heroic past of the Russian people with its great future."
The twentieth century is represented by the works of Petrov-Vodkin, Benois, Krymov, Chagall, Konchalovsky, Korovin, as well as sculptures by Vera Mukhina. The authors of the Soviet period, whose paintings were honored to take their place on the walls of the Tretyakov Gallery - Isaak Brodsky, the Kukryniksy team, Tatyana Yablonskaya, Evgeny Vuchetich and many others.
