    Nikolayeva Tatyana Vasilyevna (1921 – 1984)

    Nikolayeva T.V.  Portrait by Kuzovkin L.I. Nikolayeva Tatyana Vasilyevna graduated from the Moscow State University named after M.V. Lamonosov in 1944. In 1948, she finished the post graduate course of the Institute of History of Material Culture of the USSR Academy of Science. Between 1948 and 1966 she worked in the Zagorsk State History and Art Museum. Since 1966 she worked in the Institute of Archeology of the USSR Academy of Science, remaining a member of Scientific Council of the Zagorsk Museum.

    1950s.Nikolayeva T.V. (second from the right) and the museum workers. Working in the Museum as Head of the History and Art Department, she created the expositions: “Old Russian Art of the 14th - 17th centuries”, “Russian Art of the 18th – 20th century”, “History of the Trinity-St. Sergius Monastery”, “ The Monuments of Monastery Necropolis”. T.V. Nikolayeva organized conferences, prepared publications of the “Soobshchenya Zagorskogo muzeya”, supervised the Museum expeditions to different districts of the Moscow, Kaluga, Kalinin and Kostroma Regions. As the result, the collection was supplemented with works of ancient icon-painting, applied art, old printed books. T.V. Nikolayeva was a curator of the collection of precious metals, a guide and lecturer. She trained the museum staff.

    Nikolayeva  T. V. “Proizvedeniya melkoi plastiki XIII – XVII vv. v  sobranii Zagorskogo muzeya”. Zagorsk, 1960 (“Small-Size Sculptures of the 13th – 17th century in the Collection of the Zagorsk Museum”). In 1963, she maintained a thesis for a Candidate degree “Proizvedeniya melkoi plastiki XIII – XVII vv. v sobranii Zagorskogo muzeya” (“Small-Size Sculptures in the Collection of the Zagorsk Museum”), in 1974 – a thesis for a Doctor degree “Prikladnoye iskusstvo Moscovskoi Rusi” (“Applied Art of Moscow Rus”). Her outstanding work, covering the early Moscow period (the 13th – the first quarter of the 16th century), reconstructed the whole picture of the development of artistic crafts of that time, presenting local artistic schools of such major Russian centers as Vladimir, Suzdal, Nizhny Novgorod and Tver, that provided conditions for turning Moscow into a cultural center of the Moscow State.

    1962. Conference  on collecting. Nikolayeva T.V.  delivering a report. T.V. Nikolayeva wrote over 50 works including 50 monographs: “Proizvedeniya melkoi plastiki XIII – XVII vv. v sobranii Zagorskogo muzeya”. Zagorsk, 1960 (“Small-Size Sculptures of the 13th – 17th century in the Collection of the Zagorsk Museum”), “Proizvedeniya russkogo prikladnogo iskusstva s nadpisyami XV – pervoi chetverti XVII vv.” M., 1971 (Works of Russian Applied Art with Inscriptions of the 15th – first quarter of the 16th century), “Early Russian Painting in the Zagorsk Museum”, “Prikladnoye iskusstvo Moscovskoi Rusi”. M., 1976 (“Applied Art of Moscow Rus”), “Drevnerusskaya melkaya plastika iz kamnya XI – XV vv. M., 1983 “Old Russian Small-Size Sculptures of Stone of the 11th – 15th century”). The museum experience helped her to attribute specimens of applied art, the experience of an archeologist provided strict investigation methods. The works of Old Russian art in her hands always had a concrete and pluralistic meaning, they became documents of history.
