The Wanderers and Critical Realism in Nineteenth-century Russian Art

This is the first comprehensives survey by an art historian, in English, of one of the most popular schools of art in nineteenth-century Europe. It is essential to anybody interested in issues of nineteenth-century art or Russian culture. This book offers a rich panorama of Russian society at all levels, and addresses topical intellectual issues surrounding Russian thought. Fascination for Russian visual cultures is reflected in publications and through ever-growing auction house sales and private galleries.
