Irkutsk Regional Art Museum

The Irkutsk Regional Art Museum is located in Irkutsk, a Russian city in the Lake Baikal region. Its painting holdings reflect Russian artists associated with realism and landscape, as the works listed for this museum on the site show. Iliya Repin is the most represented painter, with Mendiga (Niña pescadora) and Retrato de una italiana, the latter known in English as Portrait of an Italian Woman. Also included are Copse by Ivan Shishkin and Storm clouds by Fyodor Vasilyev, two landscapes that point to the Russian interest in nature. With four works recorded, the museum's presence in the encyclopedia remains modest.
