16:00 Visit to the Russian Museum, a tour of the grandiose exhibition "The Great Karl. To the 225th anniversary of the birth of K.P. Bryullov".
The large–scale retrospective of Karl Bryullov at the Russian Museum is probably the most important event in the cultural life of St. Petersburg in 2024!
The exhibition presents about 160 canvases, more than two hundred watercolors and drawings.
Of course, there are textbook works known to us from school – "Italian Morning", "Horsewoman", "Portrait of A.K. Tolstoy", there is also a sensation – a relatively recently attributed painting "Christ in the Tomb" – an image for the house church of Count N.V. Adlerberg.
The pearl of the Russian Museum is the grandiose painting "The Last Day of Pompeii" (1833), literally shining after restoration, numerous portraits of princes, artists and poets, actors and actresses, religious subjects, family idylls.
You will see the entire creative path of the "Great Charles", which allows you to trace the artist's ascent from Pompeii to his own Golgotha – paintings of temples, in particular, the ceiling of the main dome of St. Isaac's Cathedral, working on which alone, the artist undermined his health and no longer recovered.
