Karl Bryullov. Disputes with fate: Vera Tchaikovskaya

It would seem that the biography and work of Karl Bryullov are well known to lovers of painting. However, the author managed to create a picture of the artist’s life in its “musical” integrity and with some constantly repeating motives – fear of time, diseases marked by critical life lines, repeating “iconic” female names and female “Bryullovsky” types. The artist, who lived in St. Petersburg in the complex era of Nicholas I, was distinguished by a stubborn thirst for personal freedom and a sense of his own rightness, which inherited his subsequent generations of the Russian creative intelligentsia.
