The Tradition of Quality
In 1900, at the instance of the Imperial Philanthropic Society (the largest
charity organization in Russia at that time) Julius Freedlander, a
technologist, was invited to Saint-Petersburg to assist in establishing an oil
paint factory. This is how the history of “Nevskaya Palitra” started. The
enterprise had been functioning very successfully for several decades, and in
1934, it became Leningrad Artists’ Paints Plant on the initiative of the
Tretyakov Gallery’s administration. The best specialists in the field of the
painting techniques and production were involved in work  to develop
original compounds. Among them was Professor of Painting D. I. Kiplik, director
of the All-Russian Academy of Arts U. Brodsky, as well as many organizations such
as the Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture named after I. Repin
and the Scientific Research Restoration Institute.
As a result of many years spent on the plant development, a unique industrial
complex was built. Now it is St.Petersburg Artists’ Paints Plant “Nevskaya
Palitra.” The plant produces more than 600 items of painting materials:
artists’ oil, watercolor, gouache, tempera and acrylic paints, dry pigments, as
well as varnishes, oils, paint thinners. The highest level of the production
quality is supported by tight control of all production stages.
The products of the enterprise have been used for the most delicate projects,
including restoration of the precious pieces of art and architectural
landmarks, such as St. Basil Cathedral, Grand Kremlin Palace, Cathedral of
Christ the Savior, artwork from the collections of the State Hermitage, the
State Tretyakov Gallery, and old Russian icons.
