Bemerkung:

St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2010. Sewn cl. Gagarin?s artistic glance at remote corners of the Russian empire typified the interest of romantic painters in exotic peoples and ways of life. In his watercolors and drawings he captured with an ethnographer?s exactness Armenians, Georgians, Persians, Turks, and Caucasian mountain peoples in the distinct setting of their home villages, performing their recreations and rituals in native garb. His battle scenes are beautifully executed and historically accurate depictions. Gagarin also excelled in landscapes and portraits. --- Prince Grigory Grigorievich Gagarin (11 May [O.S. 29 April] 1810 - 30 January [O.S. 18 January] 1893) was a Russian painter, Major General and administrator.
