The traveler is about to encounter an extraordinary exhibition showcasing the works of a famous sculptor who worked in Italy, Russia, France, and America. This solo show will be a real discovery for many, as it features some of the artist's most fruitful pieces from his "Russian" period. In the museum, near the portraits of prominent contemporaries like L. N. Tolstoy, Witte, I. I. Levitan, Chaliapin, and S. S. Botkin, visitors will see genre and animal works, as well as graphics by Trubetskoy. The exhibition includes 37 sculptures and 8 drawings from the collections of the Russian Museum, the Tretyakov gallery, the Hermitage, St.-Petersburg's Museum of theatrical and musical art Moscow, and private collections. Who is depicted in the artwork? We can see a normal little girl without any particularities and a dog. More about the artist Prince Paolo Petrovich Trubetskoy (also known as Pavel or Paul; Russian: Павел Петрович Трубецкой) was an artist and sculptor who was described by G.B. Shaw as "the most astonishing sculptor of modern times." He is the son of Russian diplomat Prince Peter Petrovich Trubetskoy. He worked in Russia, America, England, and Italy. Although he was self-taught, he learned sculpture from Giuseppe Grandi. He is associated with impressionism due to his ability to capture sketchy movements in his bronze works. He was heavily influenced by the work of Auguste Rodin and Medardo Rosso. He depicted the society of the Belle Époque. Few of his bronzes are still available in the market, but quite famous is the 35 cm high portrait of Constance Stewart-Richardson called "The Dancer." The largest and best-known work by Trubetskoy is the monumental equestrian statue of Russian Tsar Alexander III in St. Petersburg, Russia. The monument was opened in 1909 on the Nevsky Prospekt near the Moskovsky Vokzal terminal. After the Russian revolution of 1917, the Soviet government removed the monument from the main street to the backyard of the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, in 1994, the monument to Tsar Alexander III was placed in front of the Marble Palace near the embankment of the Neva river at the former site of the armored car that transported Lenin from Finland Station.
