There are many interesting galleries in our country. I’ve been to the Tretyakov Gallery. It is one of the famous and well-known picture galleries in our country and all over the world. The State Tretyakov Gallery is situated in the centre of Moscow. This gallery is named after its founder Peter Tretyakov. We can see pictures by such painters as Serov, Repin, Ivanov, Levitan and others. I have seen a lot of paintings of the "Peredvizhniki". For example, "Morning in a Pine Wood" by Shishkin and "Ivan Tsarevich on the Grey Wolf "by Vasnetsov.

What’s more, I’d like to visit this art gallery again and see the landscapes "After Rain" and "Golden Autumn". These paintings by Levitan are beautiful. I like to see his paintings because he is one of my favourite artists. I compare his painting "Golden Autumn" with the poem "Autumn" by Pushkin.

There are some paintings by Repin in the Tretyakov Gallery. His paintings are connected with the history of our country. For example, his painting "Ivan Grozny Murders His Son Ivan". There are some portraits of Lev Tolstoy and a self-portrait of Repin in this hall. I like the painting "Trinity" by Andrei Rublyov. This work reflects the life and soul of the Russian people. This gallery has many new exhibits now. You can see works of the painters of the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century there. I like works by Gerasimov. I think that he is a very talented painter.
