The display titled “Alexei Nitetsky. Charm of Russian North” was opened in the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve. It presents pictures of the famous photo artist taken in the genre of architectural landscape in 2007. Visitors of the museum can see the Kirillo-Belozersky and the Ferapontov Monasteries and the Goritsy Convent of the Resurrection. Ancient cities and Orthodox cloisters are the favourite subject of Alexei Nitetsky.
He was interested in painting since childhood and took lessons of teachers from Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov. In the 1990s, he went in for art photography professionally cooperating with periodicals, museums and research institutions.
Alexei Nitetsky first came to Kirillov in summer 1986 as a tourist. Several years later, his professional activity brought him to Vologda and then to Kirillov where he often worked for a long time. The photo artist has been collaborating with the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve for over 20 years. His works can be seen in many editions – albums, guide books, and booklets about Kirillov and Ferapontovo. Besides, Alexei Nitetsky’s photographs are often used as illustrations to the materials placed by the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve in the Internet.
