El Romanticismo ruso en la época de Pushkin: An Exhibition Exploring 19th-Century Russian Art

This exhibition explores Russian Romanticism through its prominent artists during the era of Alexander Pushkin, featuring forty works from the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. It highlights key painters and offers a glimpse into the cultural exchange between Russia and Spain.

The Museo Nacional del Romanticismo presents "El Romanticismo ruso en la época de Pushkin," an exhibition that delves into the heart of 19th-century Russian art during the celebrated literary period of Alexander Pushkin. This significant display features forty works loaned from the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, showcasing the roots of Russian Romanticism from a pictorial perspective. The exhibition, part of the Dual Hispanic-Russian Year celebrations, aims to highlight the cultural ties between the two nations. Key figures of Russian Romanticism, many of whom are lesser-known in Spain, such as Orest Adamóvich Kiprenski, Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovski, and Piotr Fiodorovich Sokolov, are represented through their masterpieces. The collection includes paintings, watercolors, drawings, and prints, all curated by Asunción Cardona, Evgeny Bogatyrev, and Elena Potemina. This exhibition offers a rare and exceptional opportunity for visitors in Madrid to engage with the art of the first half of the 19th century in Russia, celebrating Pushkin not only as a literary giant who revitalized the Russian language and folklore but also as a figurehead of the Romantic ideals shared by contemporary artists.

Participation in parallel activities such as guided tours, workshops, and talks requires prior registration. Further details for all activities will be announced on the Museum's website.
