The Tradition of Quality
In
1900, at the instance of the Imperial Philanthropic Society (the
largest charity organization in Russia at that time) Julius Freedlander,
a technologist, was invited to Saint-Petersburg to assist in
establishing an oil paint factory. This is how the history of “Nevskaya
Palitra” started. The enterprise had been functioning very successfully
for several decades, and in 1934, it became Leningrad Artists’ Paints
Plant on the initiative of the Tretyakov Gallery’s administration. The
best specialists in the field of the painting techniques and production
were involved in work to develop original compounds. Among them was
Professor of Painting D. I. Kiplik, director of the All-Russian Academy
of Arts U. Brodsky, as well as many organizations such as the Institute
of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture named after I. Repin and the
Scientific Research Restoration Institute.
As a result of many
years spent on the plant development, a unique industrial complex was
built. Now it is St.Petersburg Artists’ Paints Plant “Nevskaya Palitra.”
The plant produces more than 600 items of painting materials: artists’
oil, watercolor, gouache, tempera and acrylic paints, dry pigments, as
well as varnishes, oils, paint thinners. The highest level of the
production quality is supported by tight control of all production
stages.
The products of the enterprise have been used for the
most delicate projects, including restoration of the precious pieces of
art and architectural landmarks, such as St. Basil Cathedral, Grand
Kremlin Palace, Cathedral of Christ the Savior, artwork from the
collections of the State Hermitage, the State Tretyakov Gallery, and old
Russian icons.
