About the exhibition
“Ukrainian Portrait of the 17th–20th Centuries” is a virtual reconstruction of the landmark exhibition of 1925, organized by Danylo Shcherbakivskyi and Fedor Ernst. It became the first large-scale review of Ukrainian portrait art and laid the foundations for its scientific study.
Today, thanks to modern technologies and many years of research by specialists of the National Art Museum of Ukraine, this exhibition has been recreated in digital space. It unites hundreds of works whose fate at different times was scattered between the museums of Kyiv, Lviv and Kharkiv. The virtual exhibition opens up to the general public the unique heritage of Ukrainian portraiture through the centuries.
