Automatic translate
Until the end of December 2017, two paintings from the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery will be exhibited in the Konstantinovsky Palace: “Portrait of Princess Orlova” by Konstantin Korovin and “Portrait of Elizabeth Martynova” by Osip Braz.
The paintings can be seen as part of tours of the Konstantinovsky Palace in the Living Room of Dionysus.
The exhibition of paintings from the Tretyakov Gallery was made possible thanks to the inter-museum exchange program. In turn, in the Tretyakov Gallery will be presented paintings I.E. Repin "Bolsheviks" and "Faces of Russia" B.D. Grigoriev from the collection of the Konstantinovsky Palace. In Moscow, the canvases are on display at the 100th anniversary of revolutionary events.
Konstantin Alekseevich Korovin (1861–1939) is one of the first Russian impressionists, whose creative style is the desire to convey the joy of life through the subtle nuances of color. The ceremonial portrait of Princess Olga Pavlovna Orlova was a tribute to the mistress of the estate of Otradino, where Korovin visited at the invitation of her daughter, a fellow student of the artist at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. In the collection of the Konstantinovsky Palace there are two works of Korovin - “Russian Village” and “Russian Village in Winter”.
Osip (Joseph) Emanuelovich Braz (1873-1936) - member of the association "World of Art". For a portrait of Elizabeth Martynova, one of the first Russian women to be educated at the Academy of Arts, he received the title of “class artist”. The work was awarded the prize of the Moscow Society of Art Lovers and acquired by P.M. Tretyakov for his gallery. Brushes O. Braz also owns paired portraits of Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich (poet "K. R.") and his wife, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mavrikievna, from the family of Strelna’s owners.
