		The main buildings at Abramtsevo are grouped round a lawn, not unlike an English village green (except that, this being Russia, you are not encouraged to walk on the grass).

		Although the exhibit only scratches the surface of Shmarinov's prolific career, it does not fail to illustrate the most prevalent themes of his work: pastoral and historical Russia.
		While such themes put Shmarinov on the periphery of today's modern-art mainstream, he spent his childhood in the bosom of the old guard: at the artists' colony of Abramtsevo, northeast of Moscow.
		At the time, the young Shmarinov was still working on "Heroes," which depicts several historical figures, including 15th-century icon painter Andrei Rublyov, who is shown holding a candle.
