Moscow. January 31st. website - The Tretyakov Gallery (Tretyakov Gallery) has extended the exhibition of paintings from the Vatican Pinacoteca until March 1, gallery director Zelfira Tregulova told Interfax on Tuesday.

“Realizing that the exhibition from the Vatican collection is of great interest to viewers, we contacted the Directorate of the Vatican Museums with a request to consider the possibility of extending this exhibition for at least ten days. Because these works, taken from the walls of the Pinacoteca, are extremely in demand by those who come to Rome and comes to the museum. Their absence for 3.5 months is a problem for our colleagues. I am pleased that. new director of the Vatican Museums, Mrs. Barbara Yatta agreed to extend the exhibition from February 20 to March 1 inclusive,” Tregulova told Interfax.

According to the director, given the influx of visitors, the museum decided to work seven days a week - both Mondays, February 20 and 27, the gallery will be open until 21:00.

"This exhibition is not about record attendance. For it we have chosen the best halls in Engineering Corps where we provide the necessary conditions safety and strict adherence to temperature and humidity conditions," the director noted. This is partly why, the director explained, no more than 2 thousand people a day can visit the exhibition.

Ticket selling

A new batch of tickets will arrive at the box office on Krymsky Val on February 10. Five ticket offices will be open; the permanent exhibition of the building will be closed on this day. “We will sell tickets on a first-come, first-served basis, and we will try to get people into the lobby as much as possible so that they don’t freeze in the cold,” Tregulova said.

Currently, all tickets for the exhibition "Roma Aeterna. Masterpieces of the Vatican Pinacoteca" are completely sold out until February 19.

The fight against resellers

To combat resellers, the State Tretyakov Gallery for the first time introduced the practice of personalized tickets. Now, when purchasing tickets at the box office and on the museum website, visitors must indicate the names of those for whom they are being purchased. The public will be required to have identification with them when entering the museum.

Among them are works by Giovanni Bellini, Melozzo da Forli, Perugino, Raphael, Caravaggio, Guido Reni, Guercino, Nicolas Poussin. The most early work- the image of “Christ Blessing” from the 12th century, which has never previously been exhibited at temporary exhibitions and has not left the Vatican.

At the exhibition , curated by Arkady Ipollitov ( State Hermitage Museum), will be presented 42 paintings . Never before have the Vatican Museums, which are among the ten largest collections in the world, taken out such a significant number of outstanding works from the permanent exhibition, so that the exhibition will become an event not only for Russia and Europe, but also for the whole world.

« Roma Aeterna..." - Part big project: in 2017, a reciprocal exhibition will be held in the Vatican, a significant part of its exhibits will be works of Russian painting on gospel subjects from the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery.

Carrying out in the State Tretyakov Gallery, largest meeting Russian painting, an exhibition of paintings predominantly Italian and predominantly Roman schools is quite natural. The spiritual connection between Moscow and Rome took shape in the 16th century, and this a joint project- the most important result of the interaction of two cultures: the culture of Rome, as the embodiment of Europeanness, and the culture of Moscow, as the embodiment of Russianness. It is natural that among the great works presented at the exhibition, one can find many analogies and parallels with Russian art.

The purpose of the show is to present both the collection of the Pinacoteca, a section of the Vatican Museums, and the spirit of Rome, the great city. The Pinakothek collection was created as a collection of a state, the head of which is a clergyman, which is reflected in its composition - this is the greatest collection of religious painting. Religion is a form of awareness of the world, so religious art is not reduced to a set of biblical or gospel stories, and the collection of the Vatican Pinakothek tells us exactly this. It is as diverse as the culture of Rome, which is why the title of the exhibition includes Latin expression Roma Aeterna, "Eternal Rome". This means the enormous cultural unity that Rome has become in the history of mankind, a city at the same time ancient and modern, uniting into a single whole such different eras as Antiquity, the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque. Rome is the center of empire, the center of religion and the center of art: we can say that the concept of Roma Aeterna is one of the most important ideas of world culture. The exhibition at the Tretyakov Gallery is dedicated to this idea.

Each piece presented at the exhibition is exceptional. It begins with a rare example of the Roman school of the 12th century, the image of “Christ Blessing,” which had never before been exhibited at temporary exhibitions and never left the Vatican. This ancient and great work, close to Byzantine painting, is also interesting because it reveals the common roots of Italian and Russian art. This image, which preserves the memory of the unity of Christianity before the schism, is followed by the work of Margaritone d’Arezzo “St. Francis of Assisi” (13th century). It is included in all art history textbooks and is valuable because it is one of the earliest images of a saint who played an important role in the history of the Western church. It was his name that was chosen by the current pope, who became the first Francis in the history of the Vatican. Also presented are works by Gothic masters, which are extremely rare in Russian collections. Among them is “Jesus before Pilate” by Pietro Lorenzetti, which uniquely echoes the famous painting by Nikolai Ge.

Two predella (predella - the lower part of the altar), telling stories from the life of Nicholas the Wonderworker, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia, equally revered by Orthodox and Catholic Church, stand on the border of Gothic and Renaissance. One of them belongs to the brush of Gentile da Fabriano, who completed the era of international Gothic in Italy, whose works are not only absent in Russian collections, but were not exhibited in Russia at all, the second is by the brush of Fra Beato Angelico, the great Florentine of the Early Renaissance.

Two paintings date back to the heyday of the Renaissance: "The Miracles of Saint Vincenzo Ferrer" by Ercole de' Roberti , one of the most interesting works the greatest master Ferrara school,

and Lamentation of Christ by Venetian Giovanni Bellini.

There are no works of both in Russia. The greatest success is that the exhibition will show frescoes of angels by Melozzo da Forli , provided by the Pinakothek for exhibition to other museums in isolated cases. Paintings by this artist, considered one of major painters Quattrocento, were removed from the apse dome during the reconstruction of the Church of Santi Apostoli in Rome and now decorate a special room of the Pinacoteca. The works of Melozzo da Forli are so rare that their value is close to the most famous creations of Sandro Botticelli and Piero della Francesca. Having been reproduced in huge numbers on various souvenirs, his angels became business card Rome.

The High Renaissance, that is, the 16th century, is represented by the masterpieces of Perugino, Raphael, Correggio and Paolo Veronese.

Papal Rome reached its greatest power in the 17th century, during the Baroque era, and papal collections represent the painting of this particular century most fully and brilliantly. A masterpiece of this time on display - "Entombment" by Caravaggio.

Altarpiece by Nicolas Poussin “The Martyrdom of Saint Erasmus” , the most great work artist, written specifically for St. Peter's Basilica. This work was one of the most famous paintings cathedral and aroused the admiration of many Russian artists who lived in Rome.

The Baroque era also includes works by Caravaggists and artists of the Bolognese school (Lodovico Carracci, Guido Reni, Guercino), beautifully represented in the papal collections. The exhibition ends with a series of paintings from the 18th century, essentially the last century in which the papacy played a state role. This series is Bolognese Donato Creti is dedicated to astronomical observations and logically completes the history of Lo Stato Pontificio, the Papal States, which soon ceased to exist and became the Vatican, Lo Stato della Città del Vaticano.

The exhibition catalog includes articles by the curator and employee of the Vatican Museums and an album part, which includes all the exhibited works with detailed annotations.

Holding the exhibition and publishing its catalog would have been impossible without the large-scale support of the A.B. Charitable Foundation. Usmanov “Art, science and sport”. The relationship between the Gallery and the Foundation is long history: in 2006, anniversary events dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the museum were supported, in 2006–2007 - a successful experience collaboration over the exhibition of James Whistler, in 2007 - over the retrospective of Dmitry Zhilinsky. This exhibition is the largest and unprecedented international project of the Tretyakov Gallery in recent years.

The popularity of various exhibitions with masterpieces from different eras in Moscow in Lately incredibly high. Tickets must be purchased in advance. People dress warmly and stand in long lines to look at unique paintings. What can you see this time? The answer is in the report.

1. The exhibition is located in the Engineering Building of the Tretyakov Gallery. This is the closest building to Tretyakovskaya metro station. Three halls on the third floor. Large, medium and small.

2. The middle hall greets visitors first. A short introduction to the Vatican Museums and the plan of St. Peter's Basilica with the square in front of it.

3. It all starts with an exhibit that has never left the Vatican before. "Christ the Blesser." 12th century, Roman school.

4. The middle room is filled with small-sized paintings. In addition to the works of Bellini, Raphael and Caravaggio, mentioned in the title of the exhibition, you will be able to see Margaritone d’Arezzo, Pietro Lorenzetti, Gentile da Fabriano, Fra Beato Angelico.

5. The Vatican Pinacoteca was founded by Pope Pius VI in the second half of the 18th century. By order of Napoleon Bonaparte, they were taken to Paris, but later returned to their place. For many years, the collection was replenished and decorated only the pope’s chambers and some rooms. Only in 1908 did the collection join the ranks of museum exhibits available to the public. At first it was located in the premises of the Belvedere Palace, and later received its own building.

6. Most of the works in the Vatican Pinacotene are by Italians. The smaller part is the purchased collection Byzantine art, more fewer works from other countries.

7. 42 works arrived in Moscow. This is almost 10% of the entire collection. Previously, such a large number of works had never been exported from the Vatican.

11. And don't forget to look into the small hall at the far end from the entrance. These 8 works feature the series "Astronomical Observations" by Donato Creti.

12.

In my unprofessional opinion, this is a very interesting exhibition. Small, but even in this form it looks complete. The religious themes of all the works are not surprising, but they are not striking either. We all understand that the Vatican is the center of Catholicism in the world. His collections of religious themes are very diverse.
