In this space, the artist’s paintings are displayed alongside objects from his collection: icons, hanging 18th-century inkwells, antique keys, ancient vessels, stones, shells, dried plants, books, and much more.

We have prepared five episodes in which Anna Chudetskaya — one of the foremost scholars of Krasnopevtsev’s work — discusses the artist’s “creative laboratory”: his legendary studio and the objects he cherished, which became the “protagonists” of numerous still lifes.
