Спорт в русском изобразительном искусстве

Een verzameling kunst over sport. Het Russisch museum in St Petersburg maakt ook virtuele tentoonstellingen en dit is er één van.

Сергей Ульянов





 As I said below, Russian accordeons are the best in the world, and, of course, have a great tradition.
Top: Lenin's twin-brother with his баян.
Bottom: ànd Trotsky!

Огонек-2


I will nòt show you the other pics I found, but I can assure you - they were having a good time...
Anyway - then I remembered that the best accordeons (we call them pull-bag: "trekzak") traditionally were made in Italy ànd Russia.
Next visit I will definitely try and buy a баян, if I can find one.

Москва - Бенуа - Царское Село


The curse of the net: I got some info from Maxima Hotel Moscow about Anna Mons. Became interested in the painter Benois, and landed in Tsarskoye Selo. Nice!




...where are some really nice piano's (not only royals!)
