Art Baron


This time I wanted to talk about another gallery.
This is a gallery that always drags me into it everytime I pass it, and it’s called Art Baron. In fact, I got a business card from there and it has three names on it: Art Baron, Art Russian and Art Jack. I guess you can choose your pick.

Like one of these many names suggests, the main art that this gallery sells is russian art.
It’s mostly classical art, a lot of nature paintings with russian history and subjects, but also some more modern style paintings. They also have a whole room dedicated to religious icons. Keep in mind that there is also a whole basement full of paintings, so don’t forget to take a look there as well.

The prices for paintings varies a lot, and the frames around the paintings (most of them are very well framed) are included in the price.

I must say that I got very dissapointed when I checked out their website though, it is very unprofessional, with blurry photgraphs of the pieces, some of them even has the reflection of a flash. The advertisement is also very badly written and especially in english.
However, don’t let that scare you, you should go to the gallery and get a real impression.

The people there are very friendly and will help you with any question, and the atmosphere of the gallery is warm and welcoming in my opinion.
Go and check it out!
