From decorative compositions to individual flowers, this collection showcases the diverse talents of Alexandra Exter during the early 20th century. In Florence, 1914, Exter's brushstrokes bring life to an enchanting piece capturing the essence of beauty and elegance. The bouquet of flowers in another decorative composition transports us further into her imaginative realm. But Grigorovich is not only associated with visual arts; it also resonates with literary brilliance. Dmitry Grigorovich, a renowned Russian writer born in 1822 and passed away in 1899, left an indelible mark on literature. His portrait by Ilya Repin immortalizes his presence as he gazes thoughtfully at us from another era. The Sovremennik group was a gathering place for great minds like Ivan Goncharov, Ivan Turgenev, Leo Tolstoy, Alexander Druzhinin - all captured together alongside artist Sergei Lvovich Levitsky.
