15 вопросов к тексту с переводом ,пожалуйста The State Tretyakov GalleryThe building standing opposite the southern walls of the Kremlin, beyond the Moskva River, was built at the beginning of the 20th century from a design by the famous Russian artist Viktor Vasnetsov, a connoisseur of old Moscow. It looks like an illustration to an old Russian tale.The facade is decorated with the ancient coat of arms of Moscow. An inscription on both sides says:“The Moscow city art gallery named after Pavel Mikhailovich and Sergei Mikhailovich Tretyakov. Founded by P. M. Tretyakov in 1856 and presented to Moscow in 1892, together with the collection which S. M. Tretyakov had bequeathed to the city.”Pavel Tretyakov, a merchant by birth and an outstanding patron of Russian art, dedicated 40 years of his life to his main calling — the establishment of a national art museum.From the beginning he sought to build up a collection of realistic, poetic paintings by Russian artists who loved their country.Tretyakov purchased paintings that have become part of the golden treasury of Russian art and are regarded as milestones in its history. He supported many Russian painters and commissioned numerous paintings. He was particularly fond of Repin. Many of Repin’s paintings can be seen rn the gallery, including his masterpiece, “Ivan Grozny and His Son, Ivan”.Another giant of Russian art, Surikov, owed a great deal to Tretyakov. His painting The Execution of the Streltsi”, “Boyarinya Morozova” and other famous canvases hold pride of place in the gallery.Some people think that it is as beautiful and important as the Art Theatre, the St. Basil’s Cathedral and everything that is best in Moscow.The gallery has tens of thousands of paintings, drawings, sculptures and icons. Among the icons are some world-famous masterpieces by Andrei Rublyov. A new huge building for the gallery is on the bank of the Moskva River
