This exhibition is dedicated
to the significant event of the Russian history - the anniversary of the
election of Mikhail Fyodorovich Romanov as tsar, who was a founder of the new
dynasty. Last time the anniversary of this event that was held 14 March 1613, was
celebrated as a State holiday in 1913. After the October Revolution the
significant event, that finished the epoch of the so-called Strife Time, as a
rule, had been distorted or glossed over. In 2013 the anniversary of Romanovs
House would be once again celebrated as the significant event. The exposition
includes about 150 paintings, sculptures, graphic works, applied arts works and
coins from the collection of the Russian Museum that are connected with the
theme of foundation of the new dynasty. Among these works are the monumental
canvas The Election of Mikhail Romanov as
Tsar (1799) that was created by
G.Ugryumov for the St. Michael's Castle; graphic works devoted to this event;
paintings and sculpture portraits of members of Emperor's family by L.Karavak,
G.Odolsky, F.Shubin, S.Torelli, S.Shchukin, G.Dow, M.Antokolsky and other
artists of the 18th - beginning of 20th centuries. Also on the
exhibition is working on-line catalogue which gives the viewers an opportunity
to acquaint with the Album of Drawings, created by the artists during the
Sacred Coronation in 1896.
