Room 22

The first steps of realism in the Russian historical painting are connected with the name of Vyacheslav Schwarz (1838–1869) who was working in the 1860s. His paintings Palm Sunday in Moscow under Rule Tsar Alexey Mikchailovich (1865), and Scene from the Domestic Life of the Russian Tsars (Game of Chess) (1865) are created on the subjects from Russian history of 16-17th centuries.

The humorous situation in the canvas of Leonid Solomatkin (1837–1883) Watchmen Singing Praises (1882), masterly depicted types and convincing development of the subject contributed to the success of this painting, which was often repeated and varied by the artist.
