The exhibition “Art of the 17th–20th Centuries” in the Epiphany Cathedral is one of the gems of the Uglich Kremlin.
The exhibition is dedicated to the rare and unique genre of an urban or provincial portrait, as well as the iconography and images of locally venerated saints. It consists mainly of the images of Uglich citizens — the famous portraits of merchants by Ivan Tarkhanov and unknown Uglich painters, as well as the works of 20th-century artists: Alexander Gusev-Muravyevsky from Uglich, Pyotr Buchkin from St. Petersburg, and Leonid Nosov and Alexey Zhabsky from Moscow. Apart from paintings, the exhibition features household items that could be found in the houses of local citizens and gave rise to the idea that “Uglich citizens take exquisite enjoyment in material things.”
