If you look at the landscapes of the 19th and early 20th centuries from the NAMU collection, you get the impression that Ukrainian artists were ardent fans of the warm summer season, because there are significantly more of such landscapes in our collection. However, only images of winter can convey, for example, the mood of stiffness and numbness. Nonetheless , winter is the time of Christmas holidays and joyful games.
Lesia Tolstova, deputy director of NAMU for scientific work, will guide you through the gallery of winter landscapes from the collection of our museum and tell you what motives and ideas were revealed by artists in this particular genre.
