The Astrakhan Art Gallery presents its collection of foreign art that includes paintings, graphic works, sculptures, and examples of decorative art from the major European schools, as well as unique artifacts created by artists from Persia, China, India, and Vietnam.
Currently, the collection features 22 works by Western European artists created in the 18th–20th centuries. Two landscape paintings from the private collection of Pavel Dogadin are on display: “Road in the Forest” by Charles Bryamont and “Waterfall” by Joseph Planck.
The majority of the collection consists of works that once belonged to Otto Yakovlevich Wiblinger, an Austrian merchant. They were transferred to the gallery in 1918. Nine paintings are attributed to the European artists Franz Tomashu and Vaclav Maly.
Although the collection of
Asian and Eastern art is small in numbers, it is diverse in composition.
Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
