It was Polenov who saw his beloved Seine on the banks of the Oka, flowing into the English Channel not far from Honfleur, the very place where the master spent his retirement (students of the Imperial Academy of Arts who received financial benefits and a pension went there. – Vedomosti) with Ilya Repin. After the 1890s. Polenov built Borok’s estate in Tarusa, and the city survived. The artist began to invite friends and colleagues to his house, who were relaxed and creative in the open. The Tsvetaev family is a frequent visitor here. Its head, Ivan Vladimirovich, rests here in his free time from work on preparing the opening of the Museum of Fine Arts on Volkhonka (Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts). Borisov-Musatov, a member of the World of Art Association, who took Tarusa in his musical landscapes, visited the Polenovs. Later, Krymov came to the banks of the Oka River, and Vasily Vatagin, who became famous in the USSR as a talented animal photographer, immediately built the house.
