A Forgotten Russian Patron. The Collection of Count Pavel Sergeevich Stroganov
The following exhibition, entitled “A Forgotten Russian Patron: The Collection of Count Pavel Sergeevich Stroganov”, was organized by the State Hermitage Museum with the support of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, the Tambov Regional Art Gallery, and the National Library of Russia. Altogether the exhibit includes some 250 items, including paintings, sculpture, works of applied art, watercolours, and photographs.
The present exhibition is a tribute to Count Pavel Sergeevich Stroganov (1823–1911), “a noble defender of the arts”, a considerable portion of whose collection has found its way into the Hermitage. That collection, which was put together in the mid to late 19th century, has been undeservedly forgotten, although it not only reflected the tastes of the period, but also gave our museum a number of remarkable paintings and sculptures.
