The works of Wonderes are displayed in the famous picture galleries: the Tretiakov Gallery in Moscow,the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg.

The most clear represenative of Wonderers in my opinion was Vasiliy Surikov.[1848-1916]. He was the first of the W. Hewas born in Krasnojarsk in Siberia.His masterpieceа was the Боярыня Морозова. [1887] Its an enormous painting-both in size and scale.

The English Art.

The 18th century, the Golden Age of British Art. The 18thа century, the great age of British painting. It was in this period that British art attained a distinct national character. Hogarth was followed by a row ofа illustrious painters: Thomas Gainsborough, with his lyrical landscapes, funcyа pictures and portraits, Reynolds, who painted charming society portraits and became the first president of the Royal Academy. William Hogarth was unquestionably one of the greatest of English artists and a man ofа remarkably individual character and thought. It was his achievement to give a comprehensive view of social life within the framework of moralistic and framatic narrative.

His masterpiece of the famous series was Marriage a la Mode. This set of pictures describes a marriage between the daughter of a rich man and a young lord, the son of an old earl. The Girls father has brought a bag full of money with him. Their children are together but apart: the young man is watching himself in the glass; the girl is listening to a young Counsellor. The pictures round the room help understund the situation. In one of the pictures Madam sits listening to the young Consellor, whose portrait hangs in her room. Other pictures in the series show My Lord who amuses himself with a bad company. He returns home tipsy. Madam wastes her money at auctions. The end is known. My Lord attacks the Counsellor, who kills him and is executed. Moral: do not listen to counsellors; dont marry a man for his rank, or a woman for her money; dont visit auctions unknown to your husband; dont have bad friends. Otherwise you will be ruined.
