Self-portrait by Isaak Brodsky - Public domain portrait painting

Isaac Israelovich Brodsky — the famous painter, and favorite student of Ilya Repin, — lived in the apartment for the last 15 years of his life from 1924 to 1939. In 1949, a museum was opened here, which at present displays a unique collection of works by Russian artists, collected by Brodsky, as well as his own works. Some memorial items were also left intact: furniture, books, and photographs with the autographs of many famous people. All the artefacts create a unique aura of the artist’s house and the atmosphere of the 1920s and 1930s.
