The works of art included in the exhibition are devoted to the theme of the family, in various aspects - from images of holy families by Italian artists to humorous everyday scenes, works by artists from Holland and Flanders.

Family portraits have always been attributed to a particular genre of fine art.

This approach to writing family portraits makes it possible to get acquainted with the life of people who lived hundreds of years ago.

Family portraits painted by artists in the last century are more diverse. They can become both a topic for reflection and can be an artistic experiment. For a better perception of works of art, the hall of the Belgorod Museum was carefully prepared, the atmosphere created in it now resembles the Pushkin Museum to them. Pushkin.
