Masterpieces of the Museum of the World in the Hermitage: Jan Vermeier "Love Leaf"

Baroque painting
Rosemir paintings of the Dutch painter Jan Vermeier Delftsky "Geographer" 52 x 46 cm, canvas, oliya. The paintings of the Dutch artist "Astronomer" and "Geographer" have rich rice, characteristic of all the work of Vermeer. Zokrema, natural illumination from the window at the left side of the picture, steel, vkrity kilim, picture and map on the back wall. The artist, without a doubt, was known to be robotic co-workers, zokrems, maisters of the Rembrandt school, as they portrayed their human beings. The pose of the Geographer is even similar to the image of Faust in the famous one-menon engraving by Rembrandt.

And on the other side of the artist’s paintings, which depicted the bored at their right and self-sufficient women, this canvas depicts a great man, occupied with a strained rozumova practice. Vіn robes at the open mantle - robes for that hour. Having scoffed at the parchment navigational map, burnt on the table, wines, he rises, raising his head to the whil, to do the necessary calculations. Tsirul, what a geographer trims in right hand, serving for the vindication of the guards, another vindication attachment - cutomir - lies on the stilt near the right side of the picture. The wall, which stands for the white of the back wall, is upholstered with a tapestry with a green ornament, on the underside there is a sprinkling of burnt cards, on the wall is a map of “Sea Savings of Europe” by William Jans Blau. That wardrobe itself, depicted in the painting "Astronomer", was standing at the same cubbyhole. On the new one - a smattering of books and a globe of Jodocus Hondius dating back to 1600. Yogo is a celestial globe depicted in the painting "Astronomer".

Offend pictures, better for everything, depict one and the same person. I have a thought that Antonij van Leeuwenhoek is a winemaker of the microscope. Vіn the same moment be the patron of these guys' paintings. Ale deyakі sleddniki vvazhayut, scho tse moment buty Іnshiy contemporary of Vermeier - Johannes de Veert, cartographer, who is alive at Delft. Anthony van Leeuwenhoek and Jan Vermeier could not but know one of one - too small Bouv Delft, two home of people, two peers, previously baptized in the same church for a little more than one day, did not bow one by one on the streets of a dear place.

Two miracle Dutchmen could be close friends as a whole. The artist obviously had the same interests. The American legacy of Vermeer's work Arthur Wilok, having respected that after 1655, when Antony van Leeuwenhoek choked on the work with lenses, astronomy and navigation, "methodically created maps and globes" also appeared on Vermeer's canvases. I, perhaps, not casually after the death of the Dutch artist Jan Vermeier of Delft, the same Anthony van Leeuwenhoek was recognized as an executor.

On September 27, 2016, the series “Masterpieces of Museums in the World in the Hermitage” will feature an exhibition – “Johannes Vermeier. "Geographer"".

The exhibition was organized by the Sovereign Hermitage and the Shtedel Art Institute (Frankfurt-on-Main).

Previously, in this series, two robotic masters were shown: "A lady in black, who reads a sheet" (1662-1664) in 2001, and in 2011 - " love leaf"(1669-1670), from the collection of the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, the Netherlands).

Johannes Vermeier (1632–1675) is one of the most important artists of the Dutch Golden Age. The painting technique has been refined, experiments with optics and perspective, the transmission of light is unique, the poetic nature of the images is left unperfected for originality and by the force of infusion on the lookers.

The life and work of Johannes Vermeier is connected with Delft. As before, in the biography of the artist, there are a lot of mysteries, so, for example, it is left unexplained, from whom Vermeier learned painting. As a teacher, the teacher is named after the brilliant, early dead Delft painter Karel Fabritsius (1622-1654).

The painting "Geographer" was created in 1669. The whole composition of the small "cabinet" format of the two was signed by the master. On the view of two previous works, earlier than the testimony in the Hermitage, there is another beak of the plot repertoire of Vermeier.

In the inter'єri office, illuminated by the light that falls from the window, performances at home dressed young man. Leaning with one hand on the table and trembling in the other compass, looking at me, looking at the papers and books that lay before him, fainting like a decision. The main character of the subject and the nature of the situation is about his intellectual occupation. The fabrics of the kilim made of a growing vіzerunkom, not a lot of destruction on the edge of the table, filling the space for the rolled leaves on that great white side. Part of the leaves, perhaps with roses, are lying on the ground. A haircut with notches, faintly visible at the upper part of the veil, in the thought of deacing pastors, is part of an astronomical instrument, known to be called "Jacob's staff."

Vilna, without any middle ground, the pose of a young person, like a limp, not focusing on a specific subject, conveys the sharpness of the situation. A thin layer of light reflections on the textured surface of the kilim, a white field of paper on the table that shines, soft shadow on the wall, accents in the hero’s ode are written with a wine-like delicacy and create harmony for the harmony of the day. It's metaphysically in this relief from the critical scene, like nibi is swayed by the flow of life and a predictable cinematic freeze-frame.

The depicted compositions of the geographic map and the globe served as the basis for the designation of the character of the picture as a geographer.

Beginning in 1713 and until the end of the 18th century, in all collections, the painting "Geographer" was known at once with another, even closer and, possibly, paired robot by Vermeier "Astronomer" (1668), Louvre, Paris.

Creating the "Geographer" and "Astronomer", the artist does not just display the image of a scientist, occupied with science, but also displays a broader philosophical aspect. The globe is like a symbol of the universe and the idea of ​​the end of earthly life is tied to it as a favorite motif of the paintings of the 17th century. The terrestrial or zodiacal globe is present in rich portraits, in genre scenes, in Dutch still lifes, and plays an important role in the works of Rembrandt and yoga school. One of the mysteries of the "Geographer" is left with information about those whom Vermeier herself depicted in this picture. Behind some kind of admission as a deputy and model of the "Geographer" and "Astronomer" the famous contemporary Vermeier, a legacy of nature, who became famous in the past for the wine-making of a microscope, could serve for a moment, ? Anthony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723), who in 1676 was appointed guardian of the artist's fall.

Turning up to the history of the miraculous picture, as if for a long time, the impersonal rulers changed and traveled to many lands of Europe, it is impossible for the inhabitants of Moscow to get around one cicavia, even a short, “Russian” episode. In memory of the new savings, an oval stamp with the inscription "GALERIE DE SAN DONATO" on the back side of the canvas, as well as the inscription of a red sealing wax druk on the frame. On the reverse of the painting, there is also an arkush from the report of the collections, which I tried from 1713 to 1872. Close to 1877 "Geographer" arrived near Paris by Russian patron and philanthropist Pavel Pavlovich Demidov (1839-1885). Otrimavshi on the cob of the 1870s at the bottom of the slopes of the uncle of the famous palace of San Donato near Florence, vin vlastuvavsya in Italy. Here the philanthropist increased his purchases of art collections, chosen by the Demidov generations. Prote nevdovzі, already in 1880, Pavlo Pavlovich decided to sell the villa with his belongings and moved to live until a new mother Pratolino. On June 15, 1880, at San Donato, a grandiose auction was held, which was like a thousand days. Zgіdno with the auction catalogue, the painting by Vermeier was valued as "Lot 1124".

The exhibition was prepared by Viddil of the Zakhidno-European figurative art. The curator, the author of the concept of the exhibition is Irina Oleksiivna Sokolova, Doctor of Cultural Studies, curator of Dutch painting, the leading scholarly reference to Viddila of the Western European image-making art.

Prior to the exhibition, the scientific publication “Johannes Vermeier. "Geographer" (Visitors of the Sovereign Hermitage, 2016). Text by I.A. Sokolov.

The first time you sing "Lyubovna's leaf" - it's out to the little one. Navit troch less, nizh forty to forty-five centimeters - nachebto mitets glimpsed a scene from someone else's life in the castle gap. A small life of small people on a small canvas - and for that canvas the entire exhibition is built, the international museum grounds are arranged, the Hermitage Hall is expanded. First of all, this small artistic handwriting is one of the masterpieces of Dutch art, which is worthy of a great exhibition.

Like Vermeer's, in the picture there is a wound. The artist loves the white light, the falling bevel of the sleepy changing. Veering out of the window, the stench fills the room. A young woman in yellow clothes was sitting by the room, she was just getting ready to play music on the cistern, and then a servant came running and unrolled the envelope. She didn’t come, but she came herself: at the entrance to the room, the servant hastily threw off her slippers and threw a mop. A young aristocrat in sum'yatti: she is glad to receive the letter, and is smitten by it, and is afraid to show that she has checked the sheet, and the clerk is not baiduzhy. The servant smiles in a kind way: you see the bachila, and bring love leaves from the cavalry to the ladies and back it’s not like that. The mop, as a symbol of domestic routine, and the laces, as a symbol of the family’s wages, as a commonplace in Dutch painting, are left on the first plan, the stench prophesies the light of the matrimonial future of the young lady, and at the same time compositionally destroys the expanse of the picture. We, the Russians, have “two chobots - a pair”, and the Dutch have two slippers.

The power of Vermeier is the magic of light, sig Prote modern interpreter melodiously knows bi led to denunciation of class criticism. And rightly the look of the artist (tobto a craftsman, out of the lower lofty versts) in the middle of the aristocratic chambers, there is a small ridge, through the crack. And here it is said that the aristocracy is not so great, as you want to say hello: the young lady is dressed in a seam with ermine galyavin, but in the room she has a right mess, the cats stand with white and roll around like mattresses, and in front of the entrance to dry ganchirki and rozkidanі winter notes. That youngest lady, perhaps, a love sheet not in the rest of her life is important, like a chance to be vigilant in getting married and to see each other with a titled, albeit badness. The first oxamite veil on the first plane is less than naked on this vigil: such important Dutch curtains hung in the booths, so as not to let the heat out of them - at the booths, it was too expensive to heat the stove.

Prote Vermeier did not develop fashionable Marxist interpretations. Yogo tsіkavili suto malovnichі problems - like falling on a slanting light from a single window, like in a different way lying on the bavovnyanu plaid of the servant and on the seam cloth of the lady, on the back of the llyan of the commoner and on the hutra of the aristocrat. Like shimmering on light satin, like fading light oxamite, like matte girlish skin, like shining pearls on shis and diamanti in vukhs. Tsіkavі yomu buli y emotions - zdivuvannya that praise of the maiden, like a chuckle of an elderly servant. Tsikavimi boules and textures: marmur pidlogs, cistri wood, carvings in the background. Nareshti, having guessed his colleagues’ wines: behind the backs of two women there were paintings with forest and sea landscapes - sing-songly Vermeer had a coma from the co-workers “blinked” with these details on his canvas.

The practice of exhibitions of one painting for the Hermitage is no longer a novelty. The head museum of the country regularly brings something similar from the leading museums to the world: one, but a masterpiece. For whom the program is known, as it is called: "Masterpieces of the Museum in the World in Hermitage". At the same time, they brought us a lot of museum hits, now they bring Vermeier. At the Hermitage show at its Amsterdam exhibition center, a selection of Dutch and Flemish paintings from its own collections - including paintings by Rubens, van Dyck and Jordaens.

An exhibition of one painting ended in the Hermitage - Vermeier's "Geographer" was shown. І I caught up with її on the rest of the day before closing.
This artist, the most famous in our country, is Jan Vermeier and Vermeier Delftsky, and his posters are Yak Johannes. Let them not beat you up, that Vermeer himself. The same one who wrote “The Girl with a Pearl Earring”, “The Girl with a Leaf of the White Wind”, “The Embroiderer” and other masterpieces of world art.

In the Hermitage there is a wonderful collection of Dutch painting, in it there are paintings of the light level, and the axis of Vermeier's work is nothing like. And not only in the Hermitage, but rather in the museum collections of Russia - no, that’s why the skin’s ability to inspire the paintings of the Dutch artist, without looking beyond the borders of the fatherland - is unique and the need to be caught up quickly.

This exhibition in the Hermitage was the third in the series "Masterpieces of the Museums of the World in the Hermitage", which showed the works of the famous Dutch painter. How many times did I visit the Städel Museum near Frankfurt am Main.

It’s not possible to take pictures at the exhibition, I was hearingly obscured only by the poster and the view of the introductory texts near the hall.

The work itself can be viewed in detail on the website of the Sovereign Hermitage, the star is taken from the image.

"Geographer" - this is one of the names of the painting, adopted by today's successors through the images on the map of the globe. Other names: "Mathematician", "Philosopher", "Architect", "Geometer" - this is how the picture was called in other auction catalogs. The artist created this tvir in 1669.

There is one more painting, a plot and a composition that would make you think that it was a steam room before the "Geographer": the canvas "Astronomer", written by fate earlier, is in the Louvre. From 1713 to the end of the 18th century, offensive pictures were known at once.

For a complete understanding of the painting canvas at that time, it was necessary to know the symbolism of the images of new objects, although the river did not show up in the paintings of the small Dutch people in a vipadkovo way, the skin is small of attachments. The artist, having encoded the right image of the picture with additional images of new objects, creatures, people, and the peep-to-be, deciphered and guessed what the painter really wanted to say.

Possibly in the paintings "Geographer" and "Astronomer", Vermeier created not just the image of a great, old man, but also talking about deep philosophical topics. The globe is often depicted on the "scientific" still lifes of the Dutch painters of the 17th century as a symbol of the universe and the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe beginning of earthly life is associated with it.

It is not exactly established who is the same image in the guys' pictures of Vermeer, which is the same portrait of the chosen image. This is the hypothesis that Anton van Leeuwenhoek is the successor and model for these canvases, the microscope’s legacy and winemaker, who is also alive at Delft and after the artist’s death, he was appointed guardian of yoga.

Okrіm istoriko-cultural, artistic value, Vermeer's painting "Geographer" may have a large share, in yakіy є i "Russian trail".
In 1877, Prince P. P. Demidov bought the painting, having won the famous villa of San Donato near Florence from the recessions of his uncle, and then three years later he sold the paintings with a collection of works of art, and the painting "Geographer" together with others sold at a grand auction in 1880.

Tsey plot is not the result of my own work. I recognized the history of the masterpiece in the introductory text before the exhibition and spoke here, adding a sprinkling of words, in order to once again pay respect to the artist, the painting and the museum. The author of the concept of the exhibition and supporting materials before it is Irina Oleksiivna Sokolova, Doctor of Cultural Studies, curator of Dutch painting, leading scholarly collaborator of the Viddilu of the Western European Imaginative Museum of the Sovereign Hermitage.

I will add to myself that my hypothesis about the zmist of this picture, so, in order to know good respect, it is necessary to reverify. It’s unlikely that I’ll take care of it, but if I’m allowed to get out, I don’t claim anything and I can have the right to a foundation. Take її like a group of mind.

What is the message of encrypting Vermeier in two of his paintings? It would be better to indulge in a more pobutovy plot: the office of a great man and himself for his intellectual pursuits. Htos - a stretch on the tlinnist buttya. And I’m raising the idea of ​​divine dominion over the marnism of human thoughts, that recognition of the boundless omniscience. Even more briefly: dominance of the spirit over matter.

I’m thinking of two things, I can’t reverse it: first, that the pictures of the guys were written for a single idea, one by one, the other - that they didn’t recognize the original changes (changes in coloring in the rozrahunok are not taken) and reached us in their original look.

In order to expand the images of these two paintings in order, we would like to add a succession to it, a kind of evolution of the hero’s mental state, which I called “from knowledge - to the revelation.”

In the first picture (reviewed today as "The Astronomer") we see a person, like to sit in disguise until the end. The whole yogo posture is talking about confidence and pride. Vіn the beast down to marvel at the globe - a model of the world - and stick with your hand with a blessing gesture. Vіn animalistic guise to the light, which bleeds from vikna, as it is possible to vitlumachiti like the light of scientific knowledge. A small single-chair window in front of him will open again, like a window and an accessible light beyond the window for the human mind. The other part of the window, tightly closed, practically invisible to the gaze, it is divided into a gloomy cubbyhole of the room. Urochistnost intellect, so it would be possible to call this picture, yakbi won it alone and self-sufficient.

In another picture, written next to the first one (seen as “Geographer”), we see the same person and the same interior with a similar set of objects. Prote sutteva zmina vіdbulasya with the ruler of the tsієї kіmnati. It’s not like it’s a cry from one’s own, proud of its vіdkrittami in the light of the secret place of light, but it’s ruined, navit zlyakana people. Rozkidani in a few scrolls to talk about mental confusion, inconsistencies, lack of focus, glanced in a rapt manner, which amazed the expert and shackled him with fear. Yogo's figure looks insignificant, small, a heavy load has fallen on his shoulders, and the person herself is like a servant in a subdued position.

The key to rozuminnya zmіstu tsikh paintings є, bezperechno, the globe. And the artist, unsurprisingly, depicted not a model of the earth's backdrop, but an astronomical globe of the dawn sky. Penetrating for the help of his intellect into the world, a person wrote down, and revealed to herself the ruler of the All-World - the sensation of the first picture. At the other - people, the revelation was revealed, and the guilt of the manifested Yomu. Vіn nіbi led a dialogue, and I feel a voice, but the voice is not a pose, but in the middle of it. The axis of view of the image is transcendental to the view of the picture. The eyes of the ocular are terrible, and, yes, blind, the disguise turned into a mask. To restore respect, people no longer stand in disguise until the end, but half to the new one, and all the time at the other picture I open it up and look bigger behind the square, lower in the first picture. The veil is in the foreground, vikno, which is lightly crooked, and in the same way with the emblem of the veil, as if it came to the people of the taєmnitsі svetobudovi. Those who lived and lived, appeared as an insignificant part of the majestic world. And on this concept of good "fits" the hypothesis of the fact that the picture depicts the culprit of the Leeuwenhoek microscope. People treated the whole ignorance of the world under a microscope and showed the oppression of the might and the greatness of that force that created not only our visible world, but also a lot of other worlds unknown to us.
The globe at the other picture is no longer standing on the table, it is placed at the upper part of the picture, right above the scholar, the person has risen, his pride has been punished by bloodsheds: only God is the ruler and ruler of the world and in yoga power human knowledge about the whole world, and the cross on the globe, clearly visible in another picture, is absolutely without any doubt about it.

Russia has started a tour of the masterpieces of the Leiden Collection

DMII im. Pushkin, being inspired by the spirit of Rembrandt and the Leiden collection, characterizes like fahivtsy no less marvelously. Seen for the quality, quantity and versatility of the selection of masterpieces of Dutch painting of the 17th century, the choice that tours Russia (on the Hermitage) - on the right hand of the Americans Thomas and Daphne Kaplan. About them - rozmov osobliva, oskіlki tsey rіdkіsny vpadok, if the role of collectors is the main one.

The Leiden collection for 15 years of schooling, and we know that for serious collections - cem, took away close to 250 first-class malovnicheskih and graphic speeches by Rembrandt and the artists of the Yogo Stake (Jan Vermeier, Karel Fabricius, Frans Hals, Ger. Dahls, Ger. .). Chopped by the enemy - five generations of Dutch artists of the 17th century. And only Leiden fiyssilderi (maistre of fine painting) and their contemporary artists, in the objects of these - marvelous portraits, genre scenes for their subtlety, create on historical and mythological plots. The name of the collection is a tribute to Rembrandt's native place.

It is not necessary for geniuses to choose Rembrandt; You need to be a genius to create like a wine, - Thomas Kaplan, an American entrepreneur and international investor, who saw his Jewish roots, said at the press show. - I fell in love with yoga at six times, if the fathers brought me to the Metropolitan Museum (New York). And about the eighth, asking to go with my family to Amsterdam, because the master is alive there. My squad began to pick up a collection, buying a robot for a day. The dealers said that we collect like Russians, they compared us with Catherine the Great, indicating that she would have taken such a collection in a day. We are writing to those Russians who are living in Mother Russia, as they have adopted these creations in the landscaping museums.

Podruzhzhya Kaplan not only reflects on understanding, purposeful directing of molded collections, but passion, and generosity. Choices - one of the few private ones that specializes in the Dutch golden capital - is not closed in mansions, but mandruesh with light. Per Rest of the Rocksїх robots added 172 tim-hour exhibitions, constant expositions, repeatedly given to experts scientific work, and the Leiden collection in the largest warehouse has covered France, the Louvre Museum, China; offensive fate - Emirati.

Skin exhibition may have its own symbol. The curator of the current exposition Vadim Sadkov (the head of the department of the art of the old masters of the DMII, a brilliant sign of the Dutch school) created Rembrandt's Minerva. This is how they called Catherine the Great herself, as if she had fallen like a goddess of wisdom, that war. It is one of the most subtle and ostentatious images of the artist, de vin instilled in all those whom he defied (dark manner, dynamic work with a majestic texture, striking brushstroke ...). Those who look out may know the stylistically resonant works of the Hermitage, the Prado Museum and the Metropolitan.

In the exposition of Pushkinsky there are 82 works (80 paintings, 2 little ones). The material allows you to look at the molding of the young Rembrandt's art and that of his creative mind naked. From one side, all readers: Jacob van Swanenburg at Leiden and Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam. Thirdly, the recognition of the child prodigy Jan Lievens (at 12 years of age we are already preparing as a professional artist). For yoga butt Rembrandt leaned to continue to enlighten himself to Amsterdam, and later on, he took a bedroom with him in Leiden. Intriguing, somehow guessing the plot of the detective and the story of Rembrandt's early light manners in the 20th century is connected with the uneasy nourishment of his creative contacts with Levens. On the cob їhnої svіlnoї dіyalnostі in minds zagalnoї maisterni Levens took a leading position, and the scale of the individual giftedness of Rembrandt (1606-1669) was manifested in the world only in the works of the end of the 1620s. Yakim y roki buv artist, can be recognized by an early portrait of Rembrandt penzl Іzak de Yaudervil.

The birthmark of the exhibition is three of Rembrandt's earliest works from the Five Pochutts series. One of them - "The patient, sho zomliv (Alegory of the scent)" - was recently revealed by mysticists in a sensational rank. In 2015, the sum of the won showed up at another auction in the state of New Jersey with an estimated total of 800 dollars and was attributed to an unknown artist of the continental school. Ale people, yakі razumіyut іsnuvannya іnshih robіt z th cycle, quickly zorієntuvalis and began to haggle for her by phone. For a modest penny, the dealer bought the picture, which later restored it and sold it to Kaplan. Tse those for which Rembrandt started. Some experts admit that it was written to go to Amsterdam to Lastman, the shards of Lastman's splash are not here yet, but Levens's. These robots are represented by a commission, and for that reason, these speeches, which were attributed to Rembrandt until the beginning of the 20th century: the style of the flooring is similar.

Not less than a cicada two representations of a little one. From Rembrandt's "Remembrance of a Young Lion" the Kaplan collection was opened. Vin just didn’t come around for a moment, being a funder of the fund for supporting the wild great intestines. Another little one - “The Head of a Bear” by Leonardo da Vinci - does not enter thematically and chronologically until the stake of the collector's interests, but the mother of the little ones of a genius - the dream of being a picker. І hi navit the robot is small, even though it is very strong. Ale brand, scho zavdyaki їy appeared light "Lady with an ermine." The ermine served as a sketch for the image of the ermine, Leonardo's shards did not maw under the hand of the ermine. Vіn having seen the study of the witch and the hero and his muzzle of the flooring is plausible, that no one doubts the writing of the work from nature.

Kaplan's luck is especially good - Jan Vermeier's The Girl Behind the Virginal. The world has only 36 creations of the artist. At DMII, one work of the mature period of the work of the great master was exhibited, as a dossi was taken from private collections. Russian museums don't have any paintings by Vermeier. It is admitted that “The Girl Behind the Virginal” was written on a canvas from the same roll as the other work of Vermeier, the famous “Merezhina”, was exhibited in the Louvre. To see the atmosphere of music playing on an old-fashioned instrument, instructed the painting to judge and sound the original virginal from the Russian National Museum of Music, the great Glinka. The instrument of the 16th century comes from Flanders, not Holland, and is often called the center of the preparation of virginals.

The beautiful Vermeier seems to think that in the era of mass selection for the Hermitage, whose master has not yet been such an idol of the public, like at once, - explains the director of the Hermitage, Boris Piotrovsky. - A complex of incompetence, to the point of speech, calling for the fact that, according to one picture, at a certain hour, we had a whole exhibition of Vermeier Delftsky. Leyden's picture is good for her. It is necessary to understand that the whole collection is a marvel. Similar speeches - at museums. Ale y zіbrano її more recently, in today's market of the old masters, some kind of bagatma is respected by the desert. It’s only enough to splurge on talent, to be indifferent to that greatness, making friends with Kaplan ...

І spodіvatsya, scho modern collectors take them as a guide. Adzhe podіbny vyborchiy pіdhіd practically doesn't trap around the world these days. Take, for example, the same Pan Bernard Arnault, who many Russian electors are guided by. Marry exclusively for masterpieces and buy everything for sleep: from Brueghel and Rembrandt to Kandinsky and Hirst. Kaplan, however, as a reasonable person that historian (having graduated from Oxford), simply cannot afford to do so. Vіn virobiv the correct algorithm, having handed over the search for creation three times, we will turn it over to art dealers with a bad reputation. Stink in the course of all the achievements of science and know before the sale of masterpieces before they are taken to the auction. As a result - a collection of the most equal, it is too early to pretend to be a museum.
