Engraving had the important role in the Russian art
until the beginning of the 20th century, when the Russian society had
the requirements in the printed copies from different originals of images. But
the history of the development of engraving on metal from the moment of its
appearance in Russian art till nowadays is less known to the viewers. The
exhibition for the first time presents so widely and fully this view of art on
the example of engravings of the 17-19th centuries from the
collection of the Russian Museum. Also there are presented the brass plates and
instruments that were used by artists during the process of creation of
engravings.
The
exhibition is organized with the financial support of OJSC Severstal |
