The display includes the panorama of Riga, Valdemara street, the roofs of Old Riga, Pārdaugava, Ķīpsala, centre and suburbs of Riga and towns of Latvia. Several canvases offer townscapes of Western Europe, certainly of the artists’ beloved city of Venice as well. Thus, urban landscape with its unique charm, colour scheme, light and shade in the paintings of Andris Eglītis, Daiga Krūze, Aleksejs Naumovs, Maija Tabaka, Kaspars Zariņš, Vija Zariņa Jānis Purcens, Ivars Heinrihsons, Imants Vecozols, Alberts Pauliņš and Biruta Baumane. This year is Biruta Baumane’s centenary. At present her artworks are on display in the Latvian National Art Museum. In 2010 the gallery Daugava published the album of her paintings. Then she told us about her youth and study years, revealing an interesting fact that she had studied painting under Vilhelms Purvītis.
