Igor Emmanuilovich Grabar was born in Budapest (then the Austro-Hungarian
Empire, now Hungary) in 1871. His parents, and grand-parents, were
active participants of the Slav liberation movement and were persecuted
by the government. The little boy saw his parents very rarely. In 1876
his father had to flee to Russia; his wife and the boy follow in 1880.
In 1882, after graduating from a gymnasium in the provincial town of Egorievsk,
Grabar studied in the Moscow Lyceum, where, along with academic studies
he learnt painting, studied art, visited galleries and exhibitions and
made acquaintances with artists, art patrons and critics. Continued...
