House with reflection

House with reflection in a pond in the Abramtsevo estate. Moscow region. Russia.

 

The building of the former medical building of the sanatorium, which was built next to the manor house in 1938. Here are the works of artists of the XX-XXI centuries, creatively associated with Abramtsevo. Many of these craftsmen lived and worked in the summer cottage village of Novo-Abramtsevo, founded in the 1930s near the estate.

 

In 1843, the estate was acquired by the writer Sergei Timofeevich Aksakov (1791–1859). Since then, many cultural figures have come here: writers Nikolai Gogol and Ivan Turgenev, historian Mikhail Pogodin, actor Mikhail Schepkin.

 

In 1870 the estate was bought by a wealthy industrialist and philanthropist Savva Mamontov. Two years later, the Abramtsevo art circle was conceived. Ilya Repin, Viktor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Vrubel, Isaac Levitan, Valentin Serov and others came here to visit and work.

 

After the 1917 revolution, the state established a museum in the estate. Now on the territory of the reserve there are architectural monuments of the XVIII-XIX centuries.
