Vasili Pukirev. Unequal Marriage. 1862–1862. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.

Unequal Marriage is a masterpiece of Vasily Pukirev (1832-1890). It is one of art history's most heartbreaking paintings. To study it, you need to keep track of the whole "abyss of little things", for every detail, because otherwise we risk missing a lot.

There are two strange figures on the canvas — old women. One stands behind the groom, the other behind the priest. Both for some reason came in wreaths, and one either in a white dress, or even in a sheet or a funeral shroud. The figure of the second bride behind the priest's back looks even more strange, because this is not according to the rules of the rite. There is nothing for guests to do next to the priest — unless, of course, they come from another world.

It turns out that there are three brides at the wedding at once. Two of them are dead and looking at the old groom. And here is the artist Vasily Pukirev! He's standing with his arms crossed in the right corner and looking at the young bride. Next to him, his friend, the artist Pyotr Shmelkov, who suggested the idea of the painting to him, looks at us and seems to be asking a question: "Do you understand what's going on?".

Reception of Volost elders by Emperor Alexander III in the courtyard of the Petrovsky Palace in Moscow

By Ilya Efimovich Repin (1844 - 1930); the painting is at the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moskow

Beautiful and very realistic painting by Ukranian painter Ilya Repin. When viewing the painting, you can feel that you are among the people looking at Tsar Alexander III; in the back, noticd the Empress (with a pink umbrella) with two of her children...a little girl who might be Xenia; the young man in uniform is obviously the future Tsar Nicholas II.

I think we should joke more about Tretyakov Gallery the same way people joke about British Museum.

Vasily Tropinin. Self-Portrait with Brushes and a Palette Against a Window Facing the Kremlin. 1846. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.

The outstanding Russian painter Vasily Andreevich Tropinin was born a serf peasant and until 1823 he was a serf of Count A.S. Minikh, and later Count I.I. Morkov. He got his freedom only at the age of 47, when he already became a famous artist. Having gained the long-awaited freedom, Tropinin decided to settle in Moscow, where he became one of the most respected artists among the residents of the city. His paintings are painted in the spirit of realism with notes of romanticism.
