Description

Repin once said about Serov:
“...He plunged into his work with such self-forgetting passion that I sometimes had to make him stop.”
And Valentin Serov himself replied: “To work means to burn,” and art was his most beloved occupation.

At the lecture, we will talk about this self-critical and constantly evolving artist and find out:

Why his Girl with Peaches became a symbol of Russian painting, and how Valentin Serov revealed the inner world of his models;
How Ilya Repin influenced his success and how the technique, style, and approach to painting of the great Russian artists evolved;
How Serov was connected with the Peredvizhniki movement, and which of his paintings caused major scandals.

Tbilisi, Georgia

Tbilisi is the capital and the largest city of Georgia, lying on the banks of the Kura River with a population of around 1.2 million people. Tbilisi was founded in the fifth century AD by Vakhtang I of Iberia, and since then has served as the capital of various Georgian kingdoms and republics. Because of its location at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, and its proximity to the lucrative Silk Road, throughout history, Tbilisi has been a point of contention among various global powers. To this day, the city's location ensures its position as an important transit route for energy and trade projects. Tbilisi's history is reflected in its architecture, which is a mix of medieval, neoclassical, Beaux Arts, Art Nouveau, Stalinist, and Modern structures. Historically, Tbilisi has been home to people of multiple cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, though its population is overwhelmingly Eastern Orthodox Christian.
