The painting stocks of the Department of the History of Russian
Culture number around 3,000 paintings, over half of which are portraits,
representing a priceless pictorial resource for historians and culturologists.
The chronological boundaries of the collection are, generally speaking,
the 18th century and the early 20th. 18th-century painting is represented
through its finest examples in the halls of the Winter Palace. In
the case of the 19th century, though, at the present time nearly
all the paintings from that period are in the Staraya Derevnia restoration
and storage centre. The painting from the first half of the 1800s
is represented there by such notable names as Alexei Yegorov, Orest
Kiprensky, Alexander Orlovsky, Alexander Warneck, Vasily Tropinin,
Karl Briullov, Fiodor Bruni and Sergei Zarianko.
