Art lovers, rejoice! Beijing’s National Museum of China has unveiled a blockbuster exhibition featuring 92 works by Ilya Repin, the legendary Russian painter behind iconic masterpieces like Barge Haulers on the Volga. This collab with Moscow’s State Tretyakov Gallery marks the biggest overseas showcase of Repin’s art ever 🌍.
From dramatic historical scenes to intimate sketches, the collection offers a deep dive into 19th-century Russian realism. Think of it as a cultural bridge between China and Russia—part of their joint Years of Culture initiative to boost creative ties 🤝.
Pro tip for travelers and students: Don’t miss rare sketches that reveal Repin’s creative process. It’s like a behind-the-scenes look at art history! 🖌️ The exhibition runs through late October, blending education and Instagram-worthy moments.
