Sergei Tretyakov: “In Memory of Mutual Service”

№4 2008 (21)

2009 will mark the 175th anniversary of the birth of Sergei Mikhailovich Tretyakov. He was born on January 19 1834 (January 31, by the old calendar), the second child in a Zamoskvorechye District merchantʼs family. Sergei Tretyakov was the younger brother of the founder of the Russian National Art Gallery, Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov. He was his elder brotherʼs close friend, a reliable partner, and assistant. Sergei Tretyakov was widely known in Moscow as a public figure and art collector. His fine, noble face is captured in photographic portraits, many of which are kept in the department of manuscripts of the Tretyakov Gallery.

60TH ANNIVERSARY OF VICTORY

Tamara Kaftanova
The Tretyakov Gallery during World War II

№2 2005 (07)

May 2005 will mark the 60th anniversary of the reopening of the Tretyakov Gallery after a four-year break when the museum was compelled to evacuate its unique collections out of Moscow. This article, presenting for the first time the Gallery's history during World War II, draws on so far little-known – or completely unknown – events and documents; it is dedicated to those individuals who worked unselfishly to evacuate its treasures, and save them for future generations able to appreciate, and enjoy the major achievements of the country's art.
