Abstract
In the history of Russian culture S.M. Tretyakov, younger brother to P.M. Tretyakov, the founder of the Tretyakov Gallery, known as a collector of mainly French school of painting, first of all, Barbizon masters. Tretyakov began his collecting in the early 1870s.
He used to come for a short time from Russia to France and it was difficult for him to understand the specifics of the European art market. And here a few helped him, among them the landscape painter, collector, founder of the Radischev (Saratov) Museum A.P. Bogolyubov, who was the official mentor of pensioners of the Academy of Fine Arts.
For S.M. Tretyakov, he became an ideal consultant in the formation of the collection. The paper is devoted to the role of Bogolyubov in Tretyakov’s collecting activity, to the stories of specific acquisitions, including two historical paintings by J.-P. Laurence, as well as it helps to clarify the significance of Bogolyubov for Russian artistic culture of the 1870–1890s. Analysis of relations between Tretyakov and Bogolyubov allows us to understand the motives of collecting by both collectors.
