Leonid Brailovsky

Brailovsky worked as an architect, but was best known as the artist-akvalerist creating watercolors of ancient ruins, monuments, the interiors of temples and palaces.

He worked as a decorator: doing interior design, performed sketches of furniture and articles of bronze.

After the October Revolution in 1917, with his wife Rimma, emigrated first to Latvia, and later lived in Constantinople, Belgrade, and in 1925 he moved to Rome.

In Belgrade, the designer worked the Theatre Royal, was a member of the Union of Employees of Russian art.

In 1933 he founded the Vatican Museum of Russian religious architecture in the Congregation of Eastern Churches.

This collection was donated by Pope Pius XI and the latter has decided to organize a special unit of Russian painting.

One of those places where you could take a sip of his native air was Russicum with the Russian church, with family icons and expensive Slavic rites.

Years later, Archpriest Alexander Sipyagin who knew Leonid Mikhailovich wrote in his obituary: "Here, and especially in the Church of St. Anthony, the late felt like at home".

In 1933, the artist Leonid and his wife Rimma Brailovsky staged creative exhibition in Rome.

"Mortal remains ... Russian Catholics – Leonid Mikhailovich Brailovsky known artist" rest in the grave "on a site donated by a pious cardinal to bury foreigners dying in Rome".
