October weather in Moscow is distinctly autumnal, rapidly transitioning to early winter conditions by the end of the month. Wearing a full-sleeved black woollen sweater, I stood under an umbrella in a long queue after collecting my entry ticket to the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. The Pushkin Museum also displays significant works by leading European artists such as Rubens, Rembrandt, Botticelli, El Greco, Poussin, and Watteau. Some 26 of the museum’s galleries are dedicated to a wide-ranging collection of works by master painters of the 19th and 20th centuries. Visitors can also admire masterpieces such as Bacchanalia by Peter Paul Rubens, the most influential artist of the Flemish Baroque tradition.
