“Italy, the fatherland of inspiration! ..” – this is how the young poet Dmitry Venevitinov (1805-1827) responded about this country. The intoxicating transparent air, the sun, the sea, the cities-museums in the open air delighted Russian cultural figures who visited Italy and caused an extraordinary rise in their work. We can say that Italy we owe the appearance of the world -famous masterpieces of painting Karl Bryullov, Sylvester Shchedrin, Alexander Ivanov and many others. This album of reproductions of Italian paintings by Russian artists, accompanied by excerpts from the memoirs and letters of themselves and their contemporaries, allows you to recreate the atmosphere of time and place of creativity and familiarize the viewer with a number of painting works that expand the current idea of one or another master.
