Mike,
No Russian heritage. I was over there on a project my husband and I were doing, and just ran into this fabulous art. Kramskoy really spoke to me. He's an artists artist. He walks that fine balance between lush brushwork and sensitive definition. I also like his lack of ego. The paintings are all about the subject, not about the artist.
But the Hermitage is only European art, no Russian art. All the Russian art is in the Tretyakov in Moscow, or the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg.
