Karl Brullov. Online tour of the Russian Museum
The State Russian Museum and the Russian House in Brussels continue a series of online tours of the largest museum of Russian fine art. The meeting on 26 November will be dedicated to the greatest Russian painter Karl Brullov and timed to coincide with the 225th anniversary of his birth.
Karl Brullov needs no special introduction. He was the only Russian classical artist of the 19th century who gained fame in Europe in his lifetime and worldwide recognition after his death. He certainly had natural gift for painting. Moreover, he was a highly qualified professional of brilliant and fascinating personality. Brullov was the best known for his ingenuity, immense erudition, independence of mind and behavior, noble indifference to material values, official awards and honours, incredible freedom in actions, as well as for his enduring devotion to artistic endeavour. Only Brullov was honoured with a kind of title “Karl the Great” that showed the appreciation and admiration of his colleagues, art connoisseurs, and students during his lifetime. He was a true artistic genius, an innovator and Pushkin of Russian painting.
Panoramic shooting technologies will enable viewers to find themselves in the exhibition halls of the Mikhailovsky Palace named Academic halls and see the famous Brullov's works in the collection of the State Russian Museum.
Valentina Gorlova, the Head of the Excursion and Lecture Department of the Russian Museum, will conduct the tour.
