One of the most beautiful cities in the world, Leningrad has ever since its foundation been a constant source of inspiration for many a landscape painter. Its magnificent architecture, spacious squares and long embankments bounding the majestic expanses of the Neva have been embodied in a long series of paintings, watercolours and engravings. Over the years the city itself and the attitude of artists towards it gradually changed. Each generation of artists discovered in it the beauty of modern architecture and new facets in the unfading charm of the monuments of old. This album contains a great variety of works of the early eighteenth century down to the present day, all of which extol the beauty of Russia's celebrated city.
