An exhibition of paintings from Russian royalty opens this weekend at the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia.
The exhibition “One Heart, One Way: The Journey of a Princely Art Collection” will be on view starting Saturday through Jan. 6.
The collection is from the family of the Russian Princes Belosselsky-Belozersky.
It was formed in the mid-18th century by a notable collector who later moved the works to Finland during the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.
In 1951, the collection crossed the Atlantic to be deposited in its American home located in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
The heirlooms date from 1660 to 1952 and include paintings, many of which are portraits, and specific valuable and sentimental objects to the family.
