Lermontov in Landscape. An issue of attribution relating to two watercolour landscapes among Mikhail Lermontov’s memorabilia from the poet’s Pyatigorsk museum

#4 2019 (65)

One of Russia’s oldest museums devoted to literature, the Lermontov Museum in Pyatigorsk was established in 1912 in the house where Lermontov spent the final months of his life and wrote his last poems. The famed “Lermontov House” itself has been preserved exactly as it was during the poet’s lifetime, while the museum itself currently consists of several sections situated in the four old estate houses on its compound.
