On 16 August, the exhibition Kharkiv by Skovoroda in Portraits and Cityscapes will open, presenting various engravings and drawings of Kharkiv landscapes of the 18th century. The main feature of this exhibition is cityscapes that have never been seen before. The organizers of the event point out that there are very few artists who would dare to paint Kharkiv as it was 300 years ago. According to them, there is no nature, it is either destroyed or completely reconstructed.
“The exhibition will show many different details of 18th-century Kharkiv, that we all managed to restore together thanks to small descriptions from archival sources, archival documentation, drawings or projects that once existed. Special thanks to the Denys Paramonov Foundation for preparing the exhibition,” - Andrii Paramonov, a researcher of the history of Sloboda Ukraine emphasizes.
As the exhibition is dedicated to the 370th anniversary of the foundation of Kharkiv and the 230th anniversary of the death of the philosopher Hryhorii Skovoroda, all the works on display are related in one way or another to the time when the famous philosopher lived in Kharkiv. For instance, visitors will be able to see a panorama of Kharkiv in 1759 - the city that Hryhorii Skovoroda saw on his first visit here.
The venue of the exhibition is the Heinrich Semiradsky Art Gallery, 6 Maidan Svobody, Kharkiv.
