D.G. MESSERSCHMIDT'S DRAWINGS OF \THE STATUE OF ULUG KHURTUYAKHTAS\ AND \THE STATUE OF KHYSTAS\ (1722) FROM THE VICINITY OF U-ST-YES
2024
Overview
All his attention was focused on the study of archaeological sites and the purchase of objects from burial grounds, and he also conducted the first archaeological excavations of burial mounds in Russia. Part of his scientific library was bought by the Academy of Sciences, part was brought to Moscow University, but most of the materials and collections of the scientist was lost during the fire in the building of the Kunstkamera Museum in 1747. [...]currently there are only 8 original drawings of the scientist in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg; 6 of which were made by Messerschmidt himself and 2 presumably made by draftsman K. G. Schulmann. Messerschmidt himself became the first artist who captured the Okunev culture sites of the Bronze Age \"The Statue of Ulug Khurtuyakh Tas\" and \"The Statue of KhysTas\" in the 20s of the 18th century.
