The Most Famous Artworks of Tretyakov Gallery

The 60 most celebrated works of the Tretyakov Gallery museum, ranked by renown across 893 works in the catalog.

A note on the ranking: "fame" here is a measure of renown, not of merit — synthesised from how widely a work is cited and held. It leans toward the Western canon and the best-digitised collections. Read it as a popular index, not a verdict.
