The most authoritative scholars, the spectacular iconography.

Thanks to a wide-ranging text and to a large photographic material, this volume is one of the most beautiful and, without a doubt, the most complete ever published in the West on the Hermitage, one of the most extraordinary museums in the world. Over the centuries the museum has collected within its halls paintings of the most famous masters belonging to different eras, schools, and countries. The reader can admire spectacular paintings like those by Titian and Rembrandt up to the Black Square by Malevič, and also masterpieces by Caravaggio, Giorgione, Simone Martini, Beato Angelico, Tiepolo, Rubens, van Dyck, Rogier van der Weyden, Snyders, Greuze, and Watteau. Even the art of the 19th and 20th centuries is represented in a equally comprehensive manner by the likes of Cézanne, van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse, Boudin, Vlaminck, Picasso, and Kandinskij.
