Gorbatov bequeathed his works to the Academy of Arts in , they were eventually delivered to the Moscow Regional Museum of History and Arts near the New Jerusalem Monastery, where they have since been exhibited.“ --- SUBSCRIBE: Facebook: Instagram: Google : LearnFromMasters Contact: LearnFromMasters01@ SUPPORT MY WORK AT: --- Thank you so much for your support!
