(Во время рассказа демонстрируется презентация «Welcome to the Tretyakov Gallery?»)

"Moscow is the largest cultural centre of Russia. There are more than 80 museums in Moscow. The largest museums are the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and the State Tretyakov Gallery. The State Tretyakov Gallery is a major research, artistic, cultural and education centre of Russia and a museum of Russian Art. Founded as a private collection in 1856 by the entrepreneur Pavel Tretyakov, a patron of the arts, it was donated to the city of Moscow in 1892.

The Gallery contains more than 55 thousand works today, including the rich collection of ancient Russian icons of the 12th-17th centuries, paintings and sculptures from the 18th to 20th centuries.

In 1994, the Tretyakov Gallery was opened after 10 years of restoration."

G: He was a merchant.

P: How many paintings are there in the Gallery now?

G: The Gallery contains more than 55 thousand works today.

P: I know that the great Russian painter B. M. Kustodiev was born in Astrakhan that’s why he is dear for us. Are there any of his works in the Gallery?

5. Учитель предлагает послушать, о чём говорят юноша и девушка, стоящие у репродукции картины Сурикова «Боярыня Морозова».

(Звучит диалог, подготовленный как домашнее задание)

A. Let’s talk about the picture «Boyarinya Morozova».

B. I’m afraid I don’t remember what historic event the picture illustrates.

A. Oh, don’t you? I can tell you.

B. Do please.

A. With pleasure. Because you know Surikov is my favorite painter. So, the subject of the painting is based on the conflict between the Dissenters and the official church. Morozova is a Dissenter. She has been arrested and is being taken to prison. Look at her face. It is pale, but proud, isn’t it?

B. It certainly is. Even fanatical, wouldn’t you say?

A. Exactly so. She is wonderful in her readiness to die for faith.

B. What do you feel looking at the picture, I wonder?

A. I feel sad, I feel sorry for her. And you?

B. So do I. The picture impressed me greatly.

A. But it conveys to me the idea of the power of the human spirit and gives much food for thought.

The Astrakhan Picture Gallery.  

Astrakhan is a cultural center not only in the Low Povolzhye but in Russia. There are some museums in Astrakhan and the Dogadin Picture Gallery is one of the best of them.

The gallery was founded by Pavel Dogadin. He was an engineer. When he studied in Moscow, he visited museums, picture galleries, antique shops, studied books on Art. There in Moscow he bought his first paintings. Pavel Mikhailovich loved and knew Russian art. From the beginning he sought to build up a collection of realistic, poetic paintings by Russian artists who loved their country. He was particularly fond of Savrasov.I, Levitan, M. Nesterov, K. Korovin, and V. Polenov. Many paintings of these Russian artists can be seen in the Gallery now.

In 1918 Dogadin presented his collection to Astrakhan. It consisted of 130 canvases. The collection was accommodated in Dogadin's house and he became the first keeper of the gallery. But soon in 1919 Dogadin died and the gallery was named in his honor.

The collection grew and soon Dogadin's house became too small to house all the paintings. That's why it moved to a three-storey former Sapozhnikov's house in Sverdlov Street. In 1958 the gallery was named after B.M. Kustodiev. He was a great Russian painter. He was born in Astrakhan and spent the best years of his childhood and youth in our town. He was famous for his portraits and landscapes. His portraits of Zelenskay, his daughter, the composer Morozov and other paintings hold pride of place in the gallery now.

Now the gallery consists of 20 halls and contains more than 11,000 exhibits of the 17-20 centuries Art. Many visitors from Astrakhan and other cities come here every day to see masterpieces of the great Russian artists. The Picture Gallery has taken part in the Art exhibitions in many countries, among them are Germany, France and Japan.

In 2008 we celebrated the 450th anniversary of our town. The name of Dogadin was returned to the gallery and now it is called the Astrakhan State Picture Gallery named after P. Dogadin.
