response gesture from the British museum for a large exhibition of Russian art From Russia , which is now being held at the Royal Academy of Arts, will exhibit William Turner (1775-1851). The last time such an exhibition of works by Turner, known for its light effects, was held in Moscow in 1975.

In Moscow bring 110 pieces of English landscape painter, 40 paintings and 70 drawings. London Tate Gallery, which houses most of the creative legacy of the artist, the exhibition will provide the best-known work of Turner, including the «Castle Norhem. Sunrise »,« Self-Portrait »,« Battle of Trafalgar »and« Fire in Parliament ».

reported that funding for such ambitious and expensive project has taken the Russian billionaire, co-owner of «Metalloinvest» Alisher Usmanov, has been widely known as a philanthropist since the day before the auction Sotheby's bought the entire collection of Mstislav Rostropovich and Galina Vishnevskaya, and announced his intention to transfer her state. Financial support for the joint project of the Pushkin Museum Usmanova them. Alexander Pushkin and the Tate Gallery, no doubt, was the decisive factor in determining the ability of the exhibition, because the high cost of insurance of museum objects often becomes an obstacle for the exhibitions of works from foreign museums.

The exhibition opens November 17 at the Museum of Fine Arts named after A. Pushkin, and will run until March 2009.
