Five paintings that Tretyakov acquired for his gallery despite not liking them
"Why not remove the ranger with the whip and paint a beautiful, spiritualised girl instead of a woman with a headscarf in the foreground?" Repin aptly asked: 'and whether, in a crowd, the most beautiful and spiritualised people often come to the fore for your pleasure'. Tretyakov had nothing to say.

Why did Pavel Tretyakov collect paintings? His main life principle that gives the answer to this question.
Well, the main reason why Tretyakov became a collector of paintings is that all his life he followed a simple principle: "to profit in order that what is gained from society should also be returned to society". How many good things would be if everyone, including our oligarchs, followed this principle. It is a pity that Tretyakov was only a rare exception.

20 лет работы коту под хвост. Почему публика так и не оценила грандиозное полотно художника Александра Иванова?
На картине Иванов изобразил один из ключевых моментов из Библии — Иоанн Креститель указывает собравшимся людям на идущего к ним Иисуса Христа.

The picture "The Easter Procession" has been banned for 40 years. Was it really that bad?
When morning comes, the bishop and the deacon will sober up, go to church and repent of their deed: "the devil got into their heads". The laity will whisper in the corners: "But during Easter week the priest did it", but it will be enough for him to read another sermon - after repentance it will surely be especially sincere and inspiring and they will forgive him

Who was the bride in Pukirev’s painting “Unequal Marriage” and what was her fate? Why did the artist paint 3 brides?
At first, Pukirev’s fate turned out to be the best - the peasant son, thanks to his drawing abilities, entered the Academy of Arts at the age of 16. He did not have to, like Vasily Tropinin, who was a serf by birth, already in the status of a fairly famous artist, serve at the table of his masters.

Why was Kramskoi's painting “The Stranger” considered obscene by the moral standards of the 19th century? Who was the stranger really?

Доходило до смешного — однажды в имение графа посмотреть и познакомиться со знаменитым живописцем приехал некий иностранец. Граф пригласил его в гостиную отобедать, и тут гость, увидев Тропинина, стал приглашать его сесть за стол и пытался завести с ним беседу.
