Виды Петербурга. Акварели В. Садовникова

Watercolors painted by Vasily Semenovich Sadovnikov occupy a significant place in the rich visual chronicle of the city. A poetic perception of the city, combined with fidelity to nature, the ability to generalize what he saw and at the same time attention to detail - all this, along with the freshness of color, grace and subtlety of drawing, distinguishes the best watercolors by Sadovnikov. The numerous views of the city he created are characterized by a combination of documentary accuracy in the depiction of buildings with the transfer of directly observed life on the St. Petersburg street. The series of drawings reproduced in this album represents the best examples (24 reproductions) of his work from the collection of the State Hermitage.
