Last year marked the 250th anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Lukich Borovikovsky (1757-1825). The artist was the last of the acclaimed painters of the 18th century. His portraits of personalities of the age of the Enlightenment, and first of all the sentimental young ladies whose beauty was “preserved by Borovikovsky” (in the words of the poet Yakov Polonsky) won him a deserved acclaim.
The Tretyakov Gallery expresses sincere gratitude to OAO “Surgutneftegas” and to “British American Tobacco” for their financial support of this exhibition project.
