Russian Art and Culture Nesting Dolls
The architecture of the buildings, the smells of the foods, and cut of the casual clothes, you know when you are in Russia just by walking down the street. Some of these things have transcended into popular American culture even. Any American person would recognize a picture of Saint Basil's Cathedral as positively Russian even though they might not know anything else about it. We have many dolls that display famous Russian architecture. There is nothing quite like it in the world; slightly European and slightly Asian in inspiration, the style that defines Russian architecture is truly unique to Russia alone. Here at The Russian Store we love to celebrate the past while honoring the future, therefore we have compiled for our customers a special line of Russian art and culture nesting dolls. These dolls have been inspired by people and events that are Russian, but that have gained a world-wide audience.
Did you know that The Nutcracker ballet was composed by a Russian composer named Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. We have several dolls to commemorate this gift to the world. We also have several larger more expensive nesting dolls that feature a collection of art from specific Russian artists that painted traditional works with oil paints on canvas. These painters worked in the old country for the Tsar families. They were often commissioned to draw elaborate scenes from Russian history. Today, these works hang in museums all around the world. Artists such as Boris Kustodiev painted in traditional Russian style while creating new classics in their own right.
