Tickets exhibition Arkhip Kuindzhi. The Illusion of Light

From January 2 to January 5, 2026, the Benois Wing of the State Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg will host the grand exhibition “Arkhip Kuindzhi. Illusion of Light,” dedicated to one of the greatest Russian artists, known as the “master of light.”

This exhibition will become one of the key cultural events of 2026, offering visitors a rare opportunity to see the largest collection of works by Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi in the world. The number of admission tickets for each time slot is limited, so it is best to purchase tickets in advance. The Russian Museum presents a unique collection of more than 200 works by the “master of light,” including paintings and graphic works, among them world-famous masterpieces of Russian landscape painting: “Lake Ladoga,” “Moonlit Night on the Dnieper,” “Night,” “Rainbow,” and many other iconic works.

The paintings reveal the stages of Kuindzhi’s artistic development: from the youthful experiments of a beginning artist to his recognition as a master and educator. These canvases demonstrate the unique features of his style, allowing viewers to experience the special atmosphere and emotional depth of each work of art.

For Kuindzhi, nature was not merely an object of depiction, but a source of inspiration, which he expressed through his virtuoso command of light and color. His paintings are distinguished by deep symbolism and atmosphere, evoking a sense of magic and quiet intrigue. Thanks to his innovative approach, Kuindzhi became a key figure in the history of Russian landscape painting, influencing the development of entire generations of artists.
