Mosaic Panel “Christopher Columbus Discovers America”

Before you lies a unique opportunity to become the owner of a true masterpiece of monumental art — the mosaic panel “Christopher Columbus Discovers America.”

This is not just a work of art — it is a treasure, created in the finest traditions of the Russian monumental school and conceived as a symbol of friendship between Russia and America.

A Story Worthy of Legend

The panel was created from a sketch by Alexander Bystrov — People’s Artist of Russia, professor, academician, and author of mosaics that adorn the St. Petersburg metro stations, cathedrals, and public buildings. Masters Stepanov and Timofeev, well-known to connoisseurs of monumental art, also took part in the work.

The panel was originally intended as a gift to the American people from President Mikhail Gorbachev in honor of the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s discovery of America. But the collapse of the USSR changed its destiny: the work was never presented and for many years was kept in the Hermitage’s reserves. Today it belongs to the private collection of the renowned collector Joseph Vasilevsky.
