VATICAN CITY, MAR 10, 2007 (VIS) - In a communique made public today, the Pontifical Council for Culture announced that on Monday, March 12, an exhibition will be inaugurated of works by four artists belonging to the "Russian World" collective. The exhibition is being held in the council's headquarters and is entitled "Land of the Lord."
In the twenty paintings on display, the artists Nikolaj Anokhin, Ilya Kaverznev, Seghey Smirnov and Nikolaj Tretiakov, present "a nostalgic and spiritualized view of the Russian soul through landscapes and figures, a meditation upon time and eternity."
"The exhibition," the communique continues, "is taking place within the framework of renewed cultural and spiritual contacts between Rome and Moscow. ... The welcome the Pontifical Council for culture offers this exhibition of Russian painting, marks another step forwards in the dialogue between the Vatican and the Russian Orthodox Church, to which the 'Russian World' collective is strongly linked."
The exhibition will be open from March 12 to 20 in the offices of the Pontifical Council for Culture in piazza San Calisto 16, Rome.
