Description: The exhibition in the State Tretyakov Gallery is a joint project with the Tchoban Foundation. It is dedicated to the theme of Italy in European and Russian drawing from the 18th to the beginning of the 21st century. Works selected from both collections demonstrate the emergence of the image of Italy and its development over time. The exhibition focuses on Italian architecture which has provoked a particular genre of architectural drawing; one which concentrates on the distinctive characteristics of cities and buildings, creating unique graphic representations of real and imagined spaces. Italy has been a subject of great importance for architectural drawing over centuries and remains a great influence for draftsmen today. The exhibition begins with works from the second half of the 18th century as architectural drawing discovered the Italian theme and concludes with drawings by contemporary artists. On show are works by architects and graphic artists such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Hubert Robert, Vasili Bazhenov, Alexandre Benois, Sergej Kuznetsov, Michail Filippov and Sergei Tchoban. Exhibition: State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia (18.4. - 27.7.2014).
