The 300 Years of Russian Art is a collection of 132 works selected from the vast collection of the renowned Ekaterinburg Art Museum. While we immerse ourselves in admiring these exhibits, we also gain a well-organized and vivid understanding of the overall progression of Russian painting. The exhibits are broadly arranged according to the development of art history. Thus, browsing the exhibition is like embarking on a journey through the long river of art history. We can appreciate the elegance and subtlety revealed by the academic school through intellect and technique; we can admire the exceptional realism in intensity and depth upheld by the Wanderers' Society, represented by artists such as Repin, Surikov, Serov, and Levitan. They are truly worthy masters in revealing the inner worlds of characters and depicting the wonders of nature. We may also marvel at the distinct individual styles pursued by the art world and its subsequent schools, as expressed by artists like Kandinsky and Chagall through unique perspectives and languages, conveying their unique inner insights—sharing a new world.
