Explore with us the work of a remarkable group of nineteenth-century Russian artists – Peredvizhniki: The Wanderers.

These graduates of Russia’s fine arts schools were radicals, and many of them socialists. They used Russia’s expanding rail network to take their art out into the provinces to towns far removed from the culture of Moscow and Petersburg.  

At the heart of their work is Russia herself. Her history, her people, and above all, her landscape. Prepare to be dazzled – you’ve never seen Realism like this!
