Abstract
The Academy of Fine Arts in Saint-Petersburg and the organization of the Russian artistic sections at the World Exhibitions between 1862 and 1900. The Academy of Fine Arts in Saint-Petersburg was called upon to choose the works selected for the artistic sections of the World Exhibitions of 1862, 1867, 1878 and 1900, a choice whose aim was to show the existence of a Russian school. Though there was no response in London in 1862, French criticism in 1867 noticed such painters as, for example, Vassili Perov. The creation of a Society for travelling art exhibitions (called « les Ambulants » in French), and the action of collector Paul Tretiakov strengthened the realistic characteristics of Russian painting by imposing these paintings, welcomed by French critics en 1878. However, this selection of realistic works did not prevent the emergence of more moderate personalities like Serov or Korovine and the landscape painter Levitan, who paved the path for Diaghilev’s « Russian Ballets ».
