A lecture by art historian and philologist Pauline Yermakova

How can a landscape painted almost 200 years ago inspire a modern artist? What tradition does Natalya  Zubarova follow? What rules does she break when she turns to the work of a 19th-century serf painter? And what is the secret of the Russian landscape as a genre?

We will talk about this and many other things with the art historian, philologist and publisher Pauline Yermakova, author and editor of many books on art and museums.

Yermakova is a post-graduate of the Department of Theory and History of Foreign Literature at St. Petersburg State University, and a MA graduate of the Faculty of History of Arts at European University at St. Petersburg. She worked in publishing at the State Hermitage Museum and the Fabergé Museum in Saint Petersburg.
