___________________________________________________________

The *State Tretyakov Gallery* is one of the *best-known* picture galleries in Russia. It *takes its name* from its *founder* Pavel Tretyakov, a Moscow *merchant* and art *connoisseur*. *In the mid - 19th century*, Tretyakov began to collect Russian paintings. He visited all the *exhibitions* and art studios and boght the best pictures of *contemporary* *artists*. He was *especially* *fond of* the works of the *Wanderers* - the artists *belonged* to the *society* of travelling art exibitions. *Little by little* Tretyakov *extended his range of interests* and began to collect earlier Russian paintings. His collection grew *large and large*.
In 1881 Pavel Tretyakov opened his collection to the *public*. 11 years later he *donated it to* the city of Moscow. Since then the gallery has recieved *hundreds* of pictures from other museums and *private* collections. The gallery *contains* hundreds of *magnificent* works of *celebrities* of Russian art. The gallery has the best collections of the Wanderers. *Linked with* the Wanderes are such great names in Russian art as Surikov, Repin (...).
There you can see historical paintings, *portraits*, *still-lifes*, *landscapes*, *seascapes*. *Further* we find the *cream* of *turn-of-the centure* Russian art (...)
*Canvases* of *modern* painters *are housed* in the new building *situated* on *Crimean Embankment*.
The Tretyakov gallery is not only Russia's biggest and most important museum of Russian Art. It's *also* a *research*, *cultural* and *educational* centre.
